Headlight adjustment

After having my car lowered all the way around I noticed at night my headlights are pointing down to much. Is there an easy way to adjust them up a little? I don't really want to take it in to the dealer for this. Thanks

Quite easy. on each side there are three hex 7mm allen key socket screws visible on top of the light cluster: one for the high beam and two for the bi-xenon: side to side and up/down adjustment.
Point the car 20'/6m away from a wall, turn on low beam, insert the allen key in each hole and turn either way watching what happens on the wall in front of you. It takes about 2-3 x360deg turns to notice any movement and then it gets quite dramatic.
Don't raise your xenon low beam too high or your shutter-controlled high beam will shine the lights onto the trees and into truckers eyes!
AFTER ADJUSTING THE BI-XENONS, PUT ON THE HIGH BEAM AND MATCH THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS TO YOUR HIGH BEAM BI-XENONS' ELEVATION.
Good luck.
