    hi guys,

    i know how to adjust them but i was wondering if there was a trick to get them to factory alignment.

    For example if i tighten the screw all the way and then make 3 complete turns does that bring me to where they should be? i would like to try that before i play with them and choose a preference. Right now they are too high. Thanks

    i read before it pull up to the wall and beams should be level with reflector, put a piece of tape on the wall right where the beam is, pull back 25 feet and the beam should be at or up to 1 inch below tape, dont quote me on this, but this is how i did mine and they light up the road pretty well and i dont get flashed lol

    hey, seeing at night is worth the complication, and it took me about 5 mins to do, not that hard lol but it worked perfectly and i have no problems.

    I just installed new headlight housings in my GTP last night. Afterwards, I took it out to an empty road with no cars and sighted them in on the road with both high and low beam comparisons.
