Default Headlight adjustment leveling warning

Just finished installing my j5 coilover for the rear. Recieved a warning to check headlight leveling.

I just finished installing the front. Is there another leveler in the front?

It is probably cause once you lower, you need to adjust the headlights. Apparently they aren't really "auto" adjust like other makes.

There is no sliding adjustments on the 4gs height sensor?

So you remove 10mm nut by holding the lever towards the rear of the car to keep the nut from rotating. The square shape of the lever fits the sensor.

Once the nut is removed and you pull away the lever from the sensor, you will see the square shape, rotate 180 clockwise, (keep a note of what you did, you might want adjust again like I did and forgot).







Notice the square shape.
