what tyres are you running up front?

Don't turn your steering wheel so far 馃槀 馃槀 馃槀
You could just flattern the back of the headlight buckets were the tyres hits.
How narrow is the beam?
Im running a 4" beam 2" drop spindles and 145 tyres and headlight buckets have been flatterned out a little on my 65 beetle.

looks like youve answered the question yourself.

put either 135's on there or 145/65 (smart car tyres)

When mine was lowered to the extreme the steering turning circle was adjusted to limit the turning circle to stop the same problem however I decided to raise the car an inch so i could have a normal turning circle without hitting the headlights

145/65's are the go
They have less side wall than a straight 135r15
135r15 is pretty much a 135/82, or there abouts
Plus the 145/65's have a bit wider tread, so more surface area on the road, making it possible to steer and brake, which also helps
