      I found the same issue. I had to adjust both of mine up a little.

      Question though, I have found the headlights on my 'Roc to be aimed quite low once they do their auto-levelling and the distance that the beam covers isn't great compared to my previous car. Is there a way of adjusting the focal point? Similar to the adjustment screws of traditional halogen globe headlight assemblies.

        Thanks for that, I saw this screw but wasn't sure if that was what it was for/didn't want to touch something without knowing for sure.

          I recommend you take it to a proper auto electrician to get it professionally adjusted and calibrated using a headlight alignment tool. This will ensure accurate beam cut off points. Mine was way off after I lowered the car.

              Normally I wouldn't bother if I was just doing springs but I felt that the stock lights out of factory wasn't high enough In the first place. If you adjust yourself ensure you do it in small increments. It doesn't take much.

                I noticed my headlights were super bad the other night, i had my high beams on most of my 2 hour trip home.

                Luckily it was in the south east of vic and i had lots of bushes between me and the other cars on the other side of the road and it was 11:30 at night so not many peoples around.

                    Would that be possible you sit too low not too bad on mine - perhaps I don't really care what's in the front haha.

                      Too low - headlight beams are too short (not shining out far enough)

                      thats why I had them adjusted Take your car further out of the city and you will see the difference. I do a bit of night driving on my favourite roads and I need to see the Apex a bit better.

                              Aren't they HID headlights? If so, they certainly aren't H7.
