Since I lowered my car, particularly when changed from pads #4 to #1 in front, my lights are way too low on the street I can't see isht... since the car have now a lower front than rear.

How do I go about adjusting the lights?

i just parked my car on a pretty level surface, ie driveway or watever, and had a stock car pull next 2 me and just adjusted it to about the same level.....kinda ghetto but it worked

You'll need to find a flat surface and a 90 degree angle (a wall) to use as a sort of projector screen. You'll want to pull up until you're about 10 feet from the wall. Turn your headlights on and mark on the wall (tape, etc) where the apprx center of the beam is. Now, using a measuring tape, mark on the wall the height you desire the middle of your beam to be. Turn your headlights back on and adjust them using the small knobs on top of the lenses. Auto tech wasn't for nothing! Hope this helps...

just get your car's manual and lookup how to adjust the headlight beams. follow the steps except aim the beam higher than what's stated in the manual, to your liking and you should be all set.
