I mean regarldess of the drop amount, it's still a drop so your lights will be closer to the ground and won't project as far as it was b4.
So for those of you who like to blind people in front of you, you may want to get your HID adjusted so you can continue to be pain in the @ss. LOL. heh heh

I had my headlights adjusted b/c comptech lowers the front more than the rear, as a result, the lights are pointed lower. Thats my 2 cents. Good luck with the drop!

Open the hood....look behind the headlight, you should see either knobs or a screw to adjust the headlights.. Just make sure you are on a completely level surface and you know how much to adjust them... your headlights should not be higher than the top of the bumper on the car in front of you..any higher, you're blinding them..
