Headlights too high

I have recently fitted some Eibach 30 mm lower springs to my GTD, I now have the problem where the self levelling headlights are pointing too high???
Is there something I have done wrong or a way of sorting this issue out?
Cheers all

With auto headlights, they have to be adjusted after lowering.
Normally a dealer visit as they have a room set up to make this adjustment. (Aligning sensors).
Also make sure the level sensors (Arms) are installed correctly. One in each corner. My installer left one off and the headlights shot up in the air until I bolted it into the correct location.

Thanks for this, where are the level sensors on the car ? I will check they are installed correctly

The sensor are located at each wheel suspension area.
The front two are bolted to the LCA. They have a green plastic arm that is 3-4" long. Looks like a lever connected to the sensor.

The rears look similar but I can not remember the exact item they are bolted on.
If you find the front you will easily find the rear.
