Default Headlight adjustment

Does anyone know what the measurment of our headlight cutoff should be at off the ground at 25 feet? I been searching all day and I found a lot of "How to Adjust" but not where our headlight cutoff should be at off the ground at 25 feet away from a wall. I just lowered my car w/ coils and my headlights are not shinning onto the road as before, it's shinning a lot lower now. Thanks for you help.

Thats weird. I would wait 'til your suspension settles in. Typically you dont have to adjust them since you lowered your car evenly. Once they settle they should be correct.

Basically I think it is 2" every 20 or 25 feet. When I dropped my car 1" I had to raise my headlights quite a bit.

the top of the passenger beam should be 2 inches below the height of the dot on the lense.
