Headlight adjustment

Probably old hat but is there any fix for the headlights beams being to low? Had the car lowered when I installed PSS9s and the headlights adjusted max up but they just don't cut it on low beam. Searched old posts but didn't find a fix. Thanks

If you have adjusted them inside the trunk then that is it. No more adjustment is left.

Art.......just 'fishing' here but......when adjusting height, did you give attention to rake before corner balancing?.........also can affect handling, especially track handling.
I have those specs here somewhere (front-to-rear relative height) for all 996.
Too much rake would be a possible explanation (if, as mentioned, you've got the beam cranked to the limet now).

Yep- zero rake and cornered balanced by one of the local P-car specialist in ATL. Just hate the way the lights "end" at what seems 30' in front of the nose. Adjustment under the hood at full tilt. Guess the old eyes aren't what they use to be. Thanx
