Default Headlights Questions

Only had my S2k for about a week now and just recently noticed that my right side Headlight shines higher than left side. Anybody have any info on how to adjust it? I'm such a noob

Park it in front of a big, flat wall at night and look at the pattern. The right side isn't really "higher". It's just the way the beam is "notched". The notch on the left side give the illusion that it's lower (or the other side higher) so that it doesn't blind oncoming drivers. If you look carefully at the horizontal lines on both headlight patterns, you should see that they are in fact, even. This has been a very common post since the car came out. Unless your car has been in an accident where the front end got pushed around, don't mess around with something that may simply be the normal way of things.
However, if you really have an imbalance in the headlight level, there is a section in your owner's manual (at least in my model year there is) that will outline exactly how you can make such an adjustment. Your '06 may be different info in the manual.

Since I have my car so low after the coilover install, I need to realign mine as well.

as pointed out. it's supposed to "look" higher on the right than the left.
