Thumbs up had to readjust my headlight hight tonight

all right. I have comptech springs and i noticed that the light doesn't shine as far as before. So I checked the specs from Helm's and it's way off!!!

park your car 7.5 meters from a wall. Measure the hight of the dot on your head light lens. My was 58 cm high. Turn the light on and go to the wall. The reflection should be 5.5 cm below the hight of your dot. So my light's projection should be around 53 cm high. And mine was like 35 or something!!! so I used a screw driver to adjust the hight of the projection to 55 cm. now it's just awesome!!!!!!

oh yeah it was freezing old out side... 28 degrees!!!!! too cold in seattle!

I drove mine to a nice brick wall and align the headlights at two different distances.

Thumbs down

Man, I paid the dealer $38 bucks to do it cuz I couldn't find the adjusting screws. They set it so high I'm literally blinding people now. I get high beamed a lot and I have to shoot them back with my high's to let them know "I don't have my hig's on".
