Headlights auto level?

Tried a search and didn't find anything. I have an 03 Turbo normal HIDs that do not have HID high beams. My light seem to be aimed a little low as the only project about 20-25 feet in front of the car with the low beams only on. Are the lights supposed to have an auto level feature? I found a sensor bolted to the drivers side control arm that looks like a level sensor.

dlmack111 is infamous around these parts
The auto level will just adjust the headlights if you load the back seats with people (HA!). There is an adjustment in the headlight housing to get the proper projection. I just did this in fact(month or two ago). Do a quick search for the instructions....not that hard, just don't remember the exact steps.

You better check your level sensor located on the suspension. May be you got a broken arm.....I think the rear one is on the left side and the front one is on the right side....

The front one is good. Didn't know there was a rear one. I'll check it out.

Very good info jpflip, I was also wondering about this as I have recently had my car lowered with PSS10's.
Thanks

make sure your wires are intact too. mine had pulled away from their retaining clip and the tire had rubbed them in half. reconnected and all is well again. it was not throwing a code unless you scanned it in detail using durametric.
