How do you adjust the headlights?
i adjusted mine a few months ago after installing my BC coils.
after lowering the fronts more than the rear, the lights were WAY WAY too low. i did it in a shifty parking lot. i'll try to do it again in a perfectly flat location soon.

Honestly, this is my first car that has came with HID Headlamps, so I don't know if my headlights are too low or not. Can anyone help on this?
Also I was thinking about just taking it into the dealer and have them do it because if you mess with your headlights, it can void the warranty, if they do it then that's their problem, they can fix it. And seeing that it has been a year since this thread has been running, do you think the dealers know a little more about how to do this procedure since it seems that people have been asking their dealers about this?

as long as your headlights are aimed slightly lower than parallel to the ground you should be fine. i know the g35 headlights was just a turn gear at the top of the light. guess these sound more complicated. definitely a good idea to realign if you lower your car. anyone with pics out there of the adjuster?
Bumping an old thread. Don't know if anyone needs help with this or not. I recently lowered my G with Eibachs and have noticed a drastic change in headlight aim, a LOT lower than before. Basically, on a flat road, I see the cutoff about 20 feet on the ground away from me....not so good...
I did mine yesterday. I 'll take some pics once i get home. It's not too hard to do once you find the right screw, and more importantly, the right tool. You'll have to remove both air boxes, this will help with fitting the tools in there. Also, if you're upgrading to leds, or HID bulbs, now is a good time for it, since you'll have all those parts removed. Maybe even change your air filters while you are at it...

Just found a thread that explains things in a better way than I would have. It also has great pics:
