Issue with aiming headlights

Hi guys. I did a search and did not find a definite answer.

I recently dropped my V36 sedan and the headlights are now basically pointing at the ground in front of me. I went ahead, pulled up on a wall on a level surface and adjust them up to about normal height. I understand that my headlights have auto levelers. So they basically just reset it back to pointing at the ground.

So I guess my question is does anyone know where the auto leveling balancer is on our vehicles? I was thinking it might be tied into the ICC front sensor. I have adjusted that a few time up and down, but no luck. And I am not sure if this is why I have not been able to use my CC due to the "slip, VDC OFF, ABS, and BRAKE" lights on the dash being lit. Thanks in advance.

those (brake vdc etc) lights are probably on cause you are low on brake fluid(main reason being low on pad), search and there is a post by soundmike where he has a pic of the headlight adjustment screw.

I topped off the brake fluid. You think I may just need brakes? To be honest, I haven't even checked myself =/

And I know where the headlight vertical adjustment is, it's just that I have AFS and auto-leveling so the car keeps pointing them back down.

^ that doesn't sound right. I have AFS and i was able to adjust the lights just fine. I believe all that AFS really does is limit the movement within the range that the light output is physically adjusted to.

Granted, i have no way to confirm that except for the fact that my lights are just no longer pointing merely a few feet away from the bumper.
