Correct headlight level?

[pocketrocket]

Hi, I would please like to know what would be the correct levels of your headlights low/high. Should they be parrallel with the ground or point slightly downwards? :confused:

Thanks. :)

cuz some car are lower does that mean we move it up alittle?

Left hand side high, right hand side low due to on comming traffic on the right hand side. You don't want to pwn them.

what sheepo said is right.. should be facing downwards .. if it was parallel to the ground.. it would look like you hav ur high beams on to oncoming traffic..

but what happen if ur car is lower???
cuz if u leave it stock than u get less view as is it point closer to ur car

From memory, I think the headlight beam can't be higher than 670mm on a wall from like 5-6 metres away.... I'll go check with my tuner (RWC Tester) and let you know..

Hmmm...thanks guys.

I don't know if this is correct but when i went researching at the rta site about their rules and regulations they state the lows must not be higher than the centre of your headlight from a distance of 8 metres. And highs must not be higher than 1 metre from a distance of 25 metres?

An easy way to test it is to stand about 2-3 metres away from the front of your car.. the centre of your low beam should be shining around your knee area

learnt it from my mechanic

use it if you wish to :)
