<div> <font size="3">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. What I would do is find a flat parking lot next to a building and park the car close to and pointing at the building. Mark the cut-off point on the wall (masking tape or something non-permanent). Then I back the car away a good distance (20 to 50 ft) and adjust the headlights to that cut-off point.</font></div>

<div><font size="3">Back in the day, the old-school sealed beams were not very bright and a poor job of aiming wasn't a big deal. A friend bought a late 70's Cadillac and complained about one of the head light and asked me to look at it. I found that it was installed up-side-down and had been that was since leaving the factory. But if you are using some high-performance lights aiming becomes more important.<br clear="none">
