    30 years ago, when I went through my apprenticeship, we used those optical adjustment devices.
    Easy to use. Line it up with the vehicle, chosse drop rate of beam and adjust the light accordingly while the vehicle is in it's operating position. (Hood closed)
    Anything else is just guesswork. Screenshot_20190418-091830_Chrome.jpg

    Do you mean to tell me that we, the abused untrained company drivers actually have something to adjust with a screwdriver?

    HALLELUJAH! Hear me roar in pain as I broke that tool trying to fix something that is going to cost a thousand dollars to do it right.

    Should have been a recall...

    Since I adjusted mine, I really don’t need the high beams, and there hasn’t been any driver indicating I am blinding them.

    Regarding my “until drivers flash highbeams at you” comment inflaming anyone’s sensibilities, they need to ask their doctor to adjust their medications.

    It was meant as an indication the adjustment had gone too far, not as indication of success.

    Ask your doctor if turning off your browser is for you.

    Your family will thank you.

    If you have any family still talking to you.
