Default Did anyone who lowered their car need to adjust the headlights?

I'm lowered about 1 inch in the front and when I drive at night its tough to see about 15-20 feet past my car. Its very bright in that range but past 20 feet it is very dark if there are no street lights. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, is there a manual way to adjust the headlights or am i better off letting a professional do it?

Thanks

Most headlights are adjusted in a similar way. I don't know for sure with our models but usually, you just need a long phillips screw driver and turn the screw or gear behind the headlight casing. Have you checked the manual yet? Perhaps the PDF document for car assembly should tell you every thing( mech/elec/pipe/etc) you need to know about the car, just not sure if that's even floating around the internet.

Do it yourself. Don't pay someone for that it's easy.

Had to adjust mine. Literally took no less than 5 mins. I put my father's Acura side by side with my Lexus and I brought the Lexus headlights up to level. Much better now.
