Re-aim your headlights...

Turn the white nubby thingy (located behind the headlight housing) counterclockwise to raise your beam. 1/2 turn should do for people with Eibachs or H&Rs.

I had to turn mine 1 1/4 times.

Good tip Kevin, I hadn't noticed that they were too low...but now that I think about it, I haven't had nearly as many people flash me at night since I put the eibachs on.

I actually thought that was an useful tip. As for the best window height...the answer is NONE. Leave it up and you'll have no drag!
