Any problems withe LED lights after lowering?
In the past when I've lowered previous cars (mostly BMW) the headlights always needed adjusting (dipped beam up or down) which included Xenon lights wheich are suppose to be self levelling..
Has anyone had problems with the LED lights after installing either coilover or lowering springs?
Thanks in advance

Thought I'd update this thread as I had my car lowered yesterday and first time to try out the dipped lights in the dark...
I think the rear is slightly more lowered than the front (relative to when it was std. height) and noticed that the dipped beam was higher than it was before... Great that I could now see further than before but had a few on coming traffic flash me too.
Had a look under the hood and behind the light cluster there are 2 white allen key adjusters on each light unit. I adjusted in the inner one and it adjusts up and down.
I turned it one full circle clockwise to lower the beam on both lights which was slightly too low so settled for half a turn in the end... Now dipped beam is perfect.
Not sure what the outer adjuster is for... I did a quick half a turn just to see but it didn't seem to make any difference (perhaps for adaptive lights which I don't have?).

I didn't know we could lower the headlight aim as I read somewhere these are self leveling. I thought I saw that every time I start my car the headlight would aim up and down and then settle. Well good to know that it's adjustable. I always thought the default was a little bit high. I love the LED lights.
