Headlight issue!! Help!

Hello!! I have a 2011 328xi coupe and just lowered it 1 inch with H&R springs. Car rides great but now my lights point straight down??? They still turn right and left with steering but only light up 20 feet ahead. I checked the sensors on suspension and nothing is broken or disconnected. I read the post about self adjust but this is way off, any suggestions please.

there are adjusting screw on the head units itself. Can adjust with a phillips, I don't have any pics of the location but it's somewhat visible, i found it via someone's post on the forums - do a search if you can find it visually

Yeah I did see the post, I just can't believe the drop would offset light so much. I would have to turn those screws many times. Thanks for reply and if anyone has any other ideas would help. I also noticed the same assembly sensor on the rear drivers side control arm when I was changing spring.

I had a similar situation where the headlights would point downwards, about 20 feet. I tried the adjusting screws and that did not help. I was looking underneath the car, I have washer fluid leak, and I found a leveling sensor bar, drivers front, where the arm was pop off the suspension component. Here's link to a picture: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...41&hg=31&fg=05
I simply popped the arm back on and headlights returned back to normal. Something to look at...
