ar close to and pointing at the building.=C2=A0 Mark the cut-off point on t=

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=

=C2=A0 I found that it was installed up-side-down and had been that was sin=
