just turn them on, face the car on a wall or garage door and make them level.

Park your car about 10 yds from a wall.. Point them straight. I pointed mine up just a bit and it blinds everyone infront of me. Ask goldendragon576 he drove in front of me once...

I'm sure it lights the road up better if you have it up like ..but damn, it's annoying!! I thought had his high beams on the whole time. Oh well, as long as he can see better. maybe I should do it too!

Sounds like you may be able to see better, but if someone crashes into you because they are blinded by your lights, then all of this is for nothing.

I don't think he has 6000k's but yeah, when he was behind me, his light was shining pretty high, like on the truck and especially when we hit a bump, he was right into my rear view.

HAHA... I have the stock bulbs. You see a little less of the road. If your on a open road you will see everything for miles. I actually got a bunch of people pissed at me and then I end up getting high beamed. So I lowered them and its still not enough. I need to do it some more.

Hey guys, i found a link that i think useful for headlights alignment.

http://www.danielsternlighting.com/images/Aim.pdf

It took me two days to get it done right so the beam would point to the ground and straight at the same time, but i think i got it.

in the link i gave it says to adjust to 6 inch difference, do it in 3".

peace
