after lowering your cars did the headlights point down? and if so how did you fix it?
E92s only please, i've already searched for this fix yet i only find answers for the sedans that have that screw on the headlamps but i cant seem to find the damn screw on my car. thanks guys. |

Of course they do, you need to adjust them up. You asked for E92 "only" for obvious reasons as I do not know how to adjust the E92, but for the E90, it is very simple. Just need a phillips head screw driver.

Shouldn't need to adjust anything if you have the self leveling headlights...

Well, then in that case what ever was done to lower the car must have affected the self leveling linkage, other wise what would be the use of self leveling lights if they don't self level?

Pre-LCI E92 have the same screws on the headlight assembly. I did the same after my coil-over install. I have not verified LCI e92 headlight assembly but I can confirm that the Pre-LCI do have a round cap-looking thing where a Philips screwdriver can fit into.

For a E9x 2006-2009:
Headlight Aim, Adjusting Adjust headlight aim with correct tire pressures, fuel tank full, and weight of one person (approx 165lb) indriver seat. When adjusting xenon headlights, switch lights ON, then wait 80 seconds before proceeding with adjustment. Do not move or vibrate vehicle during that time. Working above and in rear of headlight housing, use screws to adjust headlight aim: *A Primarily Vertical aim adjustment *B Primarily lateral aim adjustment Adjuster 'A' is behind headlight, under radiator core support, slightly to the left of where the core support bolts to fender with the (2) bolts. Adjuster 'B' is hidden under a plastic plug at the very front of the fender edge

thanks this is more of what i was looking for, i will check it out in the morning, but i just had the lights adjusted a bit by my dealer. haven't had the chance to check out how much they raised them but if im not happy i'll either adjust them myself or take it back as my SA told me to let him know if i wasn't happy with the adjustments. |

thanks for the picture.
I've got the exact same issue with my E92 after Eibachs. It's amazing the difference .4" can do to headlight angle.
