Re: Headlight adjustment

The video mentioned is fine. I have older Hellas that are not DOT approved like the newer Eurovision lights and I use a similar method.
The difference between what they show and your lights is your lights should have a well defined cutoff point. You want the cutoff right on the aiming point they show in the video.
The video mentions how he likes to point his lights in a couple of inches to concentrate the light on the road. Myself I do the opposite so when I'm on an unlit winding road I can see further around the corner where the danger is likely to be.
Feel free to experiment with settings just be mindful of how your lights affect other drivers. Elderly drivers are more sensitive to bright lights, so they tend to close their eyes or look away from the road. Thats the last thing you want when you meet someone on the road.
