Car lowered and Adaptive headlights failed

aarong_m3 · 09-22-2009, 08:44 PM

Can the cars warranty be voided if it is lowered and cause the adaptive headlights to fail? There are tons of 135/335 lowered...has anyone experienced this? Thanks in advanced.

Did you snick a wire with a tool while you were instaling the suspension?

I'll check for any damaged wires.

i would think so. My advice is to put back the stock springs before going to the dealer.

did you unclip the autoleveler before you lowered the hub? It should be on the drive front. If you did not then that's your problem. Then put springs back on and take it to the dealer. Even then it might not be covered. though the part doesn't look too expansive.

I had MachIII install my springs. Not sure what they did. Can i unclip the autoleveler still? Where is it located? I'm trying to avoid paying anything if i can still unclip the autoleveler or reinstall the front springs then go to the dealer. Thanks for your reply.

where you located? if your still having the problem come weekend. I can meet up and show you. I just did the spring install myself over last weekend so everything's still fresh in my head.
