Post Headlight Adjustments

I just had springs installed and I get the feeling that my headlights are a little low. Has anyone else gotten this feeling? If so, how do you adjust the headlights? I looked in the Owner's Manual and it told me to go to Acura. Should I, or have some of you successfully adjusted your lights?

Thumbs up

It's kind of a funny looking adjustment. On each headlight you will find a sort of groved tapered cylinder in a bracket. A phillips head screw driver adjusts the angle. I had a light out of adjustment and dropped by the dealer. They used a real technical piece of equipment to align it. They pulled up to a white wall and adjusted it til they aligned. I guess old fashioned, still works the best.

I took it back to the dealer to adjust them(about $30.00) but they said that it couldn't be put back to the original level. I personally don't want to screw with it because if something goes wrong I have someone to blame!!
