Headlight aim after lowering?
For those of you that have lowered your CL's with a Comptech drop; did you re-aim your headlights higher to compensate for the drop?

I didnt for a while and wondered why my headlights didnt seem as bright. Then it dawned on me ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I aimed them a tad bit higher than they were with stock suspension. Lights up the road very nicely now but occasionally I get flashed by people because they are too bright. Oh well they can deal with it

I prefer them a tad higher than stock, lights up road signs and side of the road reflectors very brightly. almost eliminated the need for high beams. However, the other drivers dont prefer them where I prefer them

The first time I drove in the dark after getting the Comptech springs installed, all I had was two circles of light on the road about 15FT in front of the car.
The very next day is when I learned how to adjust the headlights because I could never have driven around like that.
Especially out in the woods here where spotting deer and other wildlife is essential for safe night driving.

Looking down from the top behind each headlight assembly is an adjustment mechanism.
This looks like teeth or gears that are then rotated by using a phillips screwdriver when
turning the teeth with the phillips head. This is the adjustment for height. There is another adjustment mechanism for side to side. This is not necessary after lowering.
