[DeTomaso] Aiming the Cay Eyes

[Michael Shortt]

I always measure the car on level ground, the most important thing is to
have your weight or a friend or friends in the car ( if you normally have
two riding).
Then find a flat level parking lot at night with a flat white wall, (
grocery store usually works), measure back 25' and transfer those
measurements the wall.
Start at 1" below level, drive around the block, see how that works.
As low as our cars are, we aren't going to blind anybody I don't think.

   I always measure the car on level ground, the most important thing is
   to have your weight or a friend or friends in the car ( if you normally
   have two riding).
   Then find a flat level parking lot at night with a flat white wall, (
   grocery store usually works), measure back 25' and transfer those
   measurements the wall.
   Start at 1" below level, drive around the block, see how that works.
   As low as our cars are, we aren't going to blind anybody I don't think.

     Other than to square them side to side on the horizontal, I'd set
     the center
     spot of the low beams at ~ 2-3" below the height of the center of
     the bulb
     from the ground at 25 feet out, then the same height as the bulb at
     25' for
     the highs.
