I was wondering if anyone needed or felt the need to adjust their headlights after lowering our cars? I just dropped my Q70 on RS*R down springs and feel as if the headlights are pointing a touch too low due to the slight rake. If so is it as simple as a screw behind the housing?

Yes, it's a screw behind the housing. No, I didn't feel the need to do it when I lowered my M35x. Then again, I had them both set the same so nothing really changed. Rake changes the equation.

Thanks Ilya! I'll play around with it this weekend after the car settles.

I did feel the need to adjust my headlights and fog lamps after lowering. Had to play with it a bit and drive around several times to see how the self-leveling would affect the output.

As long as the car is lowered evenly all the way around they should not need any adjustment.
