Headlight re-alignment after lift/level?

Is anyone making the effort of re-aligning their headlights after lifiting or leveling? Thanks in advance.

Yup, just a 5 minute adjustment (highly reccomended).

Well, Sherm - it's because your rig is big and tall and bad and they are insanely jealous.

Yeah, but you had to hear this girl scream when I pulled up behind her honda civic and the 6" lift with 35's puts my healights dead even in her rear view mirror. Kinda funny, but I felt a little bad,lol....but not too bad.

haven't adjusted, no one has flashed me yet. No matter how much you adjust the lights will shine into a low car when you stop behind them. Its just the height of the lights. Any large truck or semi will do the same thing. People get mad because they have personal issues, its not your fault.

Hey if they dont like if, turn down your rear view mirror. Besides BMW super white HID blinding beams are worse than my brights could ever be. D your bimmer does have that crap does it!?
Anyways they are turned down the best I could do. I havent had people flick their lights at me too often but occasionally the 1992 Accord with the peace sign on the back and greenpeace stickers flicks their lights and beeps at me...I think its for my headlights.

Never even thought about it until reading this thread. So far nobody has flashed me but I only raised the front 2 ¼” or so.

Nope, the bimmer doesn't really have any blinding beams. Come to think of it, I haven't run across any bimmers that do... what model you thinking of?

SPeaking of HIDs, I'm waiting for these bad boys to blind people: http://www.hidexpress.com/index.asp . They are working on the 9008 kits...

Yeah, over 2k posts when you count the general fourm. Insane. No wonder my work is piling up. Oh well...
