I tried to send a PM but it said it wasn't allowed. I guess you could send it to my address through member search.

Thanks for your help with this. I wonder if since the lights didn't move when I moved the sensor arm, that the rear sensor was damaged in the accident. It took a pretty good lick to the lower A arm which this is attached to and may have tweaked it enough to mess something up. With the high price of these sensors, it's a rather costly guess to see if it's the problem, but who knows, I may have to make that leap. I love the car but have been a little suprised at the price of parts, and the gas mileage.

OK, I went out and loosened the nut and moved the arm up and down on the adjuster. Nothing happened, no movement up and down of the beams, either side. I was going to do the same for the front adjuster in order to eliminate anything else, but wasn't sure how to quickly adjust it since it has a threaded rod adjustment. Any ideas?

Thanks so much for your help. This indeed may be the problem with the lights. I'll check it tomorrow and see. The person who owned it before me had the rear struts replaced with 02' struts for the manual transmission model (not sure why, b/c it's an automatic). It caused the rear end to sit up higher about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Again, thanks for the info.

I've done that also. I believe that when it was hit the back sensor may have gotten damaged also. I had to replace the back strut and lower lateral arm . I belive it may have damaged this sensor, but didn't know if there was any way to check it.

The car was hit in the front driver's side and also had damage to the rear wheel on the same side.

The headlight leveling light in the dash is on. I have checked the actuators and the control ECU circuit resistance and all seems fine. The hedlights seem to work fine and initially move up when first turned on. Was wondering if there was a way to check the height control sensors to see if one of those is bad. Thanks in advance for any help.
