Default Ride height sensors, self leveling HID, while being lowered

Driving around at night seems like my OEM self leveling HID are aimed to high. I dont get flashed at night and walking 100ft away from my car it isnt blinding like high beams pointing higher up. Possibly I need to adjust the housing to aim a smidge bit lower. The leveling sensors are adjusted to the shortest position already. Or should I modify the front shaft on the leveling sensor to control arm? During the self check I see it go down then up and back down a tad bit. I'm pretty much at the point of being max height of the self leveling.

Seems kind of pointless to have self leveling lowered at the moment.

Unless I adjust the housings to aim higher and then shorten the shaft? Or should I just leave it be and drive it as is. Like I have been the past 15k miles.

I have the same problem, My headlights do the up/down dance when i start, but they are pointed WAY high.

I remember when i used to give it gas or stomp on the brake the headlights would adjust, it no longer does that.

stock ride height here. is there a way to adjust them without going to the dealer?
