haha, reaimed my HIDs

thanks dixit for the help aiming the HIDs. i did it last night with my car parked like 3 feet from a wall. big mistake. i made the adjustment to about three inches above the previous cut off and now when i drive at night the lights seem to shoot up into the sky. i can see forever tho.
not the safest option, so i'll have to lower them a bit. shoulda parked a little further away eh?

actually..

I went to an office depot down the street after it had closed. I parked next to a huge wall, that was somewhat level. I aimed at 15 feet, then backed up about 15 more, reaimed. then about 75 feet and fine tuned it. havent touched them since.

Didnt I send you the link and or info on how to correct re-aim the headlights to any car?

If not here it is again, this should be done after you lower a car, since the headlights are also now lower. This works on ANY CAR as I said.

http://www.autooptiks.com/aiming.html

That is the exact way.

BTW Keving, can we put this in the HOW TO? I will put it in there regardless, you can delete it if you think it is not worthy.
