      on level ground pull up to a garage door..... make sure both front wheels are the same diastance away from the door.... (about 6-8ft) then just adjust the screws until they look level

          you should actually aim them at about 25ft from a flat surface. here's a nice guide for properly aiming your lights:

              Jordan used that to aim his euro ellips and he said it made a huge difference.

                    Your lows don't stay on when your brights are on?

                        My car came that way (well, maybe not from factory, but it's always been like this for me), probably the reason I can't do the independent fog light mod.

                              Stock, all 4 lights come on when the brights are on. But when you put ellips on a non ellipsoid car, there is a relay you must jump or they will not all come on with the highs.
