can anyone give me an easy way of checking the proper direction of my headlight aim? i know they are directed too low but im not sure what the rule of thumb is on how high they should be...


thanks for any help

Use a garage door and pull up to it at night. Then you can check your level with a tape measure. As for "Proper" height, I'd ust set it such that you can see and isn't any higher than the "average" car, use the parents car or something to compare. If your car is lowish like mine I'm sure your used to being blinded by SUV's, so raising them up isn't going to make that much difference to others on the road, as long as your not driving with your High beams on all the time.

so basically i should be 25 ft away from a wall and shoot the headlights at it...

the lights should shine on the wall at the same height that the headlights are on the car?

i just want to simplify that link
