Question Lights pointing too high since being lowered

Hello all,

After getting my '07 250 SE-L lowered (1.4" Front / 1" Rear) I was assured by the garage who installed the Eibach Pro's that my auto-leveling lights were fine even after I was flashed a few times by some oncoming vehicles.

So, just taken the car to another local garage where a friends father is a vehicle inspector. He put the car up to their light testing machine and low and behold the lights were point far too high!

Now, my quandary is this....do I just adjust each headlight or do I adjust something else? I have seen this is probably related to the AFS sensor and I would have to remove both passenger wheels (drivers side in the US) and adjust some nut up or down to change the vehicle height....

Any advice on this would be GREAT!

Just to note, I don't have the the AFS light on. So unsure how or what to do!

Open hood, take off the engine covers closet to the headlights. There is a metal circualar bracket that is adjustable with a screwdriver. Adjust as needed. The link I provided provides a PDF that shows you how to do it. Fairly easy.

Or you could try adjusting the leveling sensor.

Thanks for the replies.

I'll check out the sensor first then if all else fails I'll adjust the headlights directly.

Thanks again
