Springs and Headlights

[steveflemming]

Good Morning. Had Eibach Pro-Plus springs and sway bars kit installed on my 2022 Stinger GT AWD. With the lower body and slightly higher angled rear, the headlights now focus too close to the front of the car. Took it to my Kia dealership, who claimed Stinger headlights are "self-levelling" and can't be adjusted to accommodate the lower frame. That it can't be driven safely at night is, they say, "not the car's fault", and there is no technical solution. I'm a rookie - help me out here. Thank you.

adjust the lights up

yes they can still be manually adjusted. search the forum for the instructions, there's two ways to get to the adjustment screw on each headlight. just aim them up a bit and you'll be fine.

Philips screwdriver there's a hole on the front under the hood One is up and down and one is left and right just turn the up and down one park in front of your garage door at night and adjust it drive it test it.
it looks like a little gray funnel with two holes in it but it's for adjusting your headlight it's kind of right behind it on each side it's like a little cog wheel with that the screwdriver turns , You just need a skinny screwdriver The one off of your spare tire would probably work and it's the Marked UD up and down

Very helpful - I appreciate this big time.

The Philips screwdriver has to be a No. 2 and at least 8" long: and somewhat skinny: I had to return the first one I bought because the shank was too thick and wouldn't fit down that adjustment hole.

Great information. Thank you very much for the help.

my lights were low to the point of being frickin dangerous at night, and im on stock suspension.

super easy with the screwdriver - got one at Lowes for like $6. not sure why you'd want to remove the air filter housings when you can just stick the screwdriver in the hole and turn it.

On it. Thank you.

It took me a while to figure it out as well but best thing I could do since lowering it was fixing the headlight beam. Follow Merlins rec and it will work - out tape on the wall so you can "see" the adjustment happening. Takes quite a few turns but works

yeah I used the line on the garage door for reference first I made it too high and I was blinding people but I could see good I did Lower it though now it's perfect

Same here, went out, then came back and lowered them so that they just miss the side mirrors of cars in front, mostly.
