ACS Springs and Adaptive headlights

I'm hoping to have ACS springs fitted to my 335 F31 soon, I know the car will need a full 4 wheel alignment after but I'm confused as to if the adaptive headlight system will also need some special treatment.

As it's the all-singing, all-dancing light system will it sort itself out?

The car is pre LCI, registered in 2014.

TIA

I had ACS fitted to my 4GC that has Adaptive dampers and headlamps.

Nothing elaborate should be required. Most likely the manual alignment may need adjusting to your needs and requirements post installation by way of the white plastic adjustable screws on the top of the headlamps and an appropriate hexagonal (Allen) key.

Yes possibly get the alignment double checked on the lights but everything else will be sorted out by the sensors on the suspension arms, it'll know what height its running at.

Just drop the headlights on the manual adjusters back to the MOT heights to avoid any aggravated drivers.

Also ensure you're lights are NOT in auto mode when having the headlights realigned.
