Xenon height adjustment

Since the Xenon low beams auto adjust and there is no height adjustment. Here is a way to raise the beam slightly, putting it slightly further down the road. Just don't get carried away or you will be blinding the oncoming traffic.

bending the tab on the height sensor of the left front control arm will make the car think that it's nose is down - raising the lights.

The white tape is the top of the light before bending the tab.

There are 2 plastic screws on the bottom of the light. One adjusts side to side and the other up and down.
