Default Auto-leveling after new part is installed:

is there a reset procedure or do i have to drive it first before the sensor starts to readjust??

The only other thing that was mentioned was the leveler bar may be detached. That concludes their describtion other than a few sensors which 1) is located behind glove box box (not a typo) 2) front right tire and inner well have to come off. Sorry buddy.

I found my headlights were pointing to low. They are easy to adjust. Here is a picture showing where the adjusters are.

The adjusters are identical. The same for HID and conventional lights.
