Does anyone on here know of a standard metric to use to gauge how high to aim the headlights properly (i.e., not as they come from the factory)? I want to be able to see further, but I don't want to be blinding people. I know headlight aiming is generally an inexact process, but I'm and exacting person. So if someone knows of a good measurement to use for the settings, like the cutoff should be so many inches up a wall from so many feet way, it would be appreciated.
According to the new IIHS headlight test, to the front left of the car low beams should shine about 200 ft forward and directly in front of the car the low beams about 320 ft. The IIHS tested 2er with HID headlights measured just under 100 ft on the left (less than half!!!
) and about 250 ft in front (still 70 ft short).
For all the halogen people ...
