Headlight adjustment
Just put in new lights and need to adjust. Does anyone have specs on hand on how to aim the lights properly? I know it's a dumb question but sometimes the easy is too easy. LOL
Right now I can see better with my low beams.

Proper adjustment is to park on level ground with your headlights aimed at something like a wall approximately 25 feet away. Adjust the headlights on low beam till the center of the beams match the height and direction of the actual lights.
If you want a little more light you can adjust them upward a slight bit, just make sure you're not blinding other drivers.

Like said above, do it at nighttime, aiming at a wall. It's just a couple Phillips head screws that adjusts the housings
