Headlight aim when lowered

vic · June 21, 2002

Hi,

Does anybody know if lowering the car is going to affect the headlight aim? Since ive had mine lowered im sure that the lights are not pointing as high as they were!!! Any ideas????

i would say that as you are lowering the car there will be a change in the headlight level but this only takes about 5 mins to adjust - any garage that has the beam measurement trolly/equip can do it as it is only a screw arrangement for the level - you will see it if you look at the back of the lights.

Assuming the drop is the same front and rear, you wouldn't expect the aim to be any different.

You would have a slightly shorter "throw" of light because the lights are nearer to the ground, but I'd be real surprised if it was noticeable.
