It happened to me too and I never got mine perfect again. You just learn to live with it, its kind of a pain.

 

thats whack.. theres got a be a way =[

 

I kept tinkering with it to get it back in perfect position like it was but never got it exactly while I was lowered. When I went back to stock height I got it eperfect again.

 

It's the sensor arm that gets out of whack. If it's at a rather sharp angle in the middle, it will screw up the headlight leveling. The two sections of the arm should be almost straight, a very slight angle at most.

The pic at this link is how it should look.

could this be solved with a headlight leveler**? sorry im not sure if i spelled that right lol!

 

^^ Thats the pic I used and got it to look just like it but it was never the same again while I was lowered. It wasnt bad but it aimed a little too high and they jumped up and down at random moments.

 

try this. theres lots of detail in this thread

I had the headlight sensor light come on when i got my hotchkis installed. I just jacked up the car and adjusted the one in the back. Haven't had a problem since (crosses fingers)

 

Ya, my warning light went off but the lights were never perfectly back to factory specs. It didnt bother me, but when I went back to stock height it was all good again.

 

just readjust the rear headlight sensor. its screwed onto your driver side rear suspension arm.

holy rust batman.

 

i appreciate everyone's help! and i will adjust the sensor (once again) but this time line up wit another IS pointing at a wall so i can level the headlights.

BUT, my main problem is still not solved. the headlight leveling light does not come on nomore, but still the light beam moves up and down while im driving, and it is serious bugging the F*** out of me. so the sensor or ECU maybe needs to be reset, you guys think pulling the battery cable for awhile and reconnect for it to reset would work??

 

very simple solution. adjust the rear sensor, make it point 2 o'clock. this should work cause it worked with my IS and I'm dropped 1.5"

 

well i kinda adjust the sensors a lil bit wit every resource i could find. the result was the headlights dont bounce up and down nomore, and the in dash light isnt on nomore =] but the only thing is, seems like my auto level adjust for my headlight isnt working nomore (know how when you first turn on your lights the light beam runs up and down a bit? well mine doesnt do that nomore =[ ) other than that. im ok now. thanx alot to everyone that helped and adviced. if anyone could tell me how to re-activate the headlight leveling thing, +rep and thanx again.

^^ mine doesn't go up & down when I first turn on my headlights? Weird!!

I think your headlights are fine now.

 

Try turning the lights on first, then start the engine. See if they move down and up then.

 

mine move up and down when you turn the lights but my light is still on and sensor is where it is suppose to be whats up with that im dropped about 2.5 inches on coilovers

 

i have tien flex c/o on my car and i didnt have to move or adjust the leveler at all. actually, it never even got in my way. how come everyone has to move or adjust this part to lower their car?
