Problem with Xenon's After Eibach

Has anyone had a problem with the height of the Xenon beams after putting on lowering springs? I'm not sure but it seems like the auto levelling function of the headlights don't work anymore. Normally the lights would pan up once switched on but now it doesn't move from its' initial position. I was thiking that since the sensors in the rear detect that the suspension is compressed, then it tells the headlights to stay pointed downwards as not to point the beam onto on coming traffic. Is there any sense to that? How can I fix this problem? Is it just a matter of re-adjusting the focus of the beam or do I have to relocate the sensors?

Are the two lever arms for the headlight adjusters connected and functioning? One is on the left front suspension arm, and the other is on the left rear upper control arm. If one got broken during the spring install, that would explain the problem.

Rye,

What do they look like? Do you have a pic maybe? What's a good way to determine if they are still functioning? Thanks!

Found out what's wrong. The front sensor was unplugged.
