3.3TT Questions about alignment and headlight readjustment after lowering your Stinger

[nhcowboy28]

To lower or not to lower.

I was thinking about doing a coilover system kit but having to adjust the headlights and possibly an alignment (although both are good ideas for safety) there's more work involved than I thought. I'm a simplest so I was thinking simple. My mistake.

Adjusting the headlights is literally a 10 minute activity. Long #2 Phillips.

alignment isn’t a big deal. $50-$100 depending on dealer (some were charged waaaay more... robbery).

True! I'm likely to have the alignment and coilovers done at the same shop. Less hassle that way.

Took my Stinger to a Porsche dealership for alignment after my Eibachs settled. They did a great job.

Apologies for necro'ing an old thread, but would adjusting the headlights on a Stinger with auto-leveling headlights require a different process (or an additional step) to one without?

Same process.

Same process.

If you don't mind my asking, what is the actual process, if you know? I'll admit I've never done it on a vehicle before, and I couldn't find any videos of it being done on a Stinger online. I found one of a Genesis G70, but it surprisingly didn't line up with my car. I already have tape marked on the ground and wall from before the suspension change in preparation, so I just need to know how to adjust it.

Funny enough, I called my local Kia dealership and they said they didn't know how to do a headlight alignment, which I found pretty funny.

Kinda silly I had to remove the air boxes just to adjust the headlights, but it's done now. Thanks for the help D.J.!
