Headlights

[Rudy913]

What it the correct adjustments on headlight seems like mines are to high up . Should they be facing the ground

 

[Ribbedroof]

I like to adjust mine in the following manner

Find a low-traffic street at night
Position the car in the center of your normal lane
Aim them so the pool of light hits the ground on your side of the centerline, aimed slightly to the right. I like mine a few car lengths out. Most people have them too close to the car for my taste.
If you go too high, you won't be able to see the light pool on the street, or people will be brighting you

I find aiming against a wall to be too random

is there a cut off line or do the headlights have no pattern beam?

 

[Rudy913]

It has a cut off line

Just aim them into the rear view mirror like the @zzholes around here

When the guy in front of you can feel the heat of your beams on the back of his neck, it's perfect.

I like to use a dark country road to adjust the headlights...

 

[xitabl442]

What I do:
If it has a sharp cutoff, aim the lights 2” below the height of the center of the headlight at a distance of 25ft
If it’s a bubble pattern, do your best at having the top of the bubble level to the top of the headlight.

I just use a pair of headlight adjustment tools anytime I need to adjust my headlights. They work on all 80s cars and some 90s cars.
