xenons shinning low after suspension replacement..

With the help from a friend, we installed the performance suspension on my 2006 330i today...I noticed after it got dark that the xenon bulbs are shinning really low compared to pre-install of suspension. I know for sure we clipped the xenon self leveling clip back on..I wanted to ask if anyone has had a similar experience after switching out their suspension? I know that I can manually adjust the lights, but I just got a little worried that maybe I missed something after they seemed really really low after the suspension upgrade..

Yes this happened to me too, I just adjusted the lights higher and now its fine.
Open the hood and towards the back of the headlight there is a screw, it has like a + sign shape in the middle, turn it counterclockwise to make them go higher and do the same amount of turns on each, I did one and a half turn on each and I like them like that.

Thanks for your response it really helped me feel better knowing someone else had the same issue..I adjusted the height tonight..I had to adjust each side up approx 15 turns each.. Which sounds like a lot considering the car had the sports suspension to begin with and height didn't seem to change..anyways they are now adjusted and back to the proper height..thanks again

For those with lights pointing down at the road after suspension work, check out the sensor orientation before turning the screw.
