I seem to remember way back in the old days of "Up Fixin the Porsch," before Bentley and Pelican, hula hoops and knickers that an article was written about adjusting headlights. I think it said something like "get the car level, and aim it at a wall about ???? feet away, turn on the lights and the spots of left low should be ??? feet high and right should be ??? high" anyway you get the idea. Does anybody have or remember the specs?

Thanks Charlie.

If you gotta have the original I can look it up in my “up fix’n” for you? OK, OK they made great X-mass and B-day gifts from the kids. I stopped smoking long ago so didn’t need anymore “handprint ashtrays"

While I remember my father doing similar "alignments" in the driveway, are we concerned from a State Inspection standpoint of for your own visual worth. I jokingly say this because given how many SUV lights blind the *hit out of me at night in the 911, I say aim high and even the score a bit :P

Ride in Dave (Halequin's) car. I don't know how he can see anymore it with ever other driver flashing him

[}{arlequin]

he heh... those people flashing me are just a fleeting moment during my evening drives, meanwhile I continue on w/ good visibility for nighttime high speed runs...

if they flash me early enough, they'll even receive a 130watt flash back, showing that those, in fact, *weren't* my high beams

i agree, no one ever considers flashing an suv for being abnoxious, and sometimes, on those rare occasions when they're loaded and rear-heavy, their beams are like searchlights for an AA gun

--i say take it from the air force: "Aim High"

I enjoyed having Dave follow me down to VIR earlier this year. With Dave's lights on behind me, I could turn mine off and still see the owls in the trees.

I flash SUVs with obnoxious headlights AND foglights . . .

you must be the only one.... maybe it's due to the dimming mirrors, but I'm sure it still gets annoying (with the lights on, I can tell if you have a tear in your headliner )

I don't know how Charlie does it... there have been many late nights of me following him home from Pari's

Karma moment: broke my H4 glass on the way to MO

AND foglights . . .

They are the worst of it. Why you need 4 super brights on at all times is beyond me. I wonder if the land yacht drivers realize they are blinding the rest of us.
