you need to drive up perpendicular to a wall so you can see the pattern.

you can aim on a wall is fine, but make sure your 25 ft away at least thats the way i do them

go aim it on a wall 6 ft away, not 25 as said above thats way too far. they look like they could be too low. The middle of where the high beam light hits the wall should be the same height off the ground as the bulb itself. you'll need a tape measure.

^um, yes. what i said is the correct way for headlights like ours that don't have the little knobs on the front to use a leveling tool.

Yep that's how it's done. Do that. Impossible to tell from a picture like that.

ours has leveling screws, what does doing from 6 feet away accomplish? yay you can see the car six feet in front of you but nothing on the sides or distance which is the whole object of headlights... mine sucked and i did them from about 20 feet away and now the spread on the pavement is 600% better and i can actually see in front of me lol
