 I seem to recall, back in the day, that the you aim the lights to maintain=
 a horizontal low beam cut-off so as not to blind oncoming traffic.=C2=A0 W=
hat I would do is find a flat parking lot next to a building and park the c=
ar close to and pointing at the building.=C2=A0 Mark the cut-off point on t=
he wall (masking tape or something non-permanent).=C2=A0 Then I back the ca=
r away a good distance (20 to 50 ft) and adjust the headlights to that cut-=
off point.
Back in the day, the old-school sealed beams were not very bright and a poo=
r job of aiming wasn't a big deal.=C2=A0 A friend bought a late 70's Cadill=
ac and complained about one of the head light and asked me to look at it.=
=C2=A0 I found that it was installed up-side-down and had been that was sin=
ce leaving the factory.=C2=A0 But if you are using some high-performance li=
ghts aiming becomes more important.
