Hello there,

Here is how my current output looks like, I'm not sure if the right side is suppose to go more to the left to match up with the line of the left headlight?
It seems as if the right side is pointing up more.

I think I'm blinding everyone in front of me now though.

Any pointers on how to aim these lights?
How far from the wall?
How far from the ground?

Suggestions are welcome, thanks all!

Update:
I played around with adjusting the headlights some more and i think i got it closer to acceptable level. Here are pictures.

thats why i hate aftermarket headlights they have retarded aftermarket projectors that are junk.. but that is the correct way they are suppose to go.. if you get flashed then there obviously too high.. but i would retro some nice FX projectors in those :)

This is the LINK (http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/aim/aim.html) I used to aim my ecodes on a previous car I had, came out perfect, passed inspection and never had complaints from friends driving in front of me.

my theory is that as long as you have light pointing the direction you are headed then you should be fine. honestly though, if you have tried that hard i'm sure you have it to a reasonable setting

The passenger side should be high. It is a feature put in so you can see over the guard rail when in the slow lane or on a two lane road. Drivers is lower so that it does not blind oncoming vehicles. Also the passenger side is like that so it will help seein road signs and exits ahead of time. Looks just fine. This is clearley pre- active headlights. GL
