Headlight adjustment after lowering

Has anyone had their headlights adjusted after lowering their car?

Mines dropped and no headlight adjustment here. Still aims fine. You don't want it to aim high and blind ppl anyways.

In the past people have. It's not a bad idea to refocus after dropping.

I did. The Eibachs dropped the front a lot more than the rear. My headlights were practically pointed at the ground.

I did, but I am still not happy since they either point too far downwards or blind oncoming drivers. :-/

Right now on Intrax springs the front of the car is a touch higher than the rear, but I never re-aimed the lights. Probably should have though, its fine with the low beams but honestly it seems like the hi-beam is way too high. Planning on cutting a coil in the front so I'll get around to it then I suppose.

I had to readjust mine badly. The high beams were where my low beams should have been, and the low beams were pointing at the ground about 2 ft in front of the car.

I reaimed mine. They seemed low to begin with and with my sprints they were pointing to the ground.

Ok, all of you guys who say yes, did you adjust them yourself? How does one adjust headlights to the correct specs?
