    How to aim headlights?

    What is the proper procedure for aiming headlights? (Highs and Lows) I think that you want your car like 25ft back from a flat wall (garage door), but I can't remember where to aim them.

    hey to adjust your headlights, refer to a bently manual and it explains how you can do it with your car facing a wall. but honeustly your better off taking it to a shop to have them adjust it.

    being a mechanic myself, we only charge $24.95 canadian to do it. and we use a system we bought for a company called otc, involves a bunch of mirrors and such. makes it really easy and qucik to adjust properly, after doing it on my car what a differnce.

    thats my advice.

      Yeah, I had a shop do it the last time and they charged me a full hour of labor for it, which was $65 US. I have a Bentley... shoulda looked there first.

                If I would have known it would have been $65 I would have done it myself, I thought it would be about $30 or so for the labor.
