I'll measure the ride height tomorrow and report back. I can hopefully get away with 2 car jacks instead of a lift

Default Success!

I got the xenons working properly now.
First issue was that the front sensor kept staying at 1,52V no matter what i did, it turned out to be bad wiring (after I renewed it using another thread on the forum, my fault.)

Second issue was indeed the ride height like Mikki said, so i used 2 car jacks and jacked up the car at both ends untill voltage matched and was in range of 1.7 to 3.5v and went to basic settings and job done!

Thanks to everyone for help.
