Help with Xenon light issue

Hello,

I have noticed that in the past 3 months that my front factory xenon lights have not been as bright (about half the performance). It almost seems like they are aimed lower than normal, but even my high beams are no where near as bright. I have not made any changes to their height so I am confused. My first thought was that it was a battery issue since the car is an 09 and still using the original factory battery. Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this before I go an get a new battery?

Thanks in advance

There is a ride height sensor on bot front and rear control arms, check those that they are attached. Also when you start your car up with the headlights in Auto position, do they go through the self check procedure?

Thanks for the reply. When I start the car the lights go from being down to the up position they stay at. They do not go from down to all the way up then back down to mid level. Does that sound normal.
