Truckers have badly aimed lights as well - I drive across a province fairly regularly at night, and the amount of times i get blinded by big rigs is horrible. I think this issue effects everyone and yet no one does this or takes it to a shop to get done.

Be sure to think about Flat and Level. Most garages have a several inch drop over 20', and many change pitch in the driveway. So, not only is your vehicle angled, but it's lower when it's backed up than when parked 3' from the wall. I haven't found anything nearby that I would consider level over the 40-ish feet needed to back up and do this correctly. Most parking lots are sloped for runoff.

It probably doesn't matter if it's a slope though. What would matter is if there's a bump and it's not flat. So it has to be flat but it doesn't have to be level. Because if it's flat and a slope you're beams are going to travel straight towards that wall. I'm trying to think it through my head right now and I think that's right.

Own a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500HD SLE Crewcab and replace the original lens with new ones. Took my truck to the dealership to have the lens realigned. I was told to bring it back, if I had a problem seeing when driving at night. I still was having trouble seeing at night, but I didn't take it back. After doing some exhausted research, I decided to buy your lights. Received and installed your 9005/HB3 and 9006/HB4 LEDs that I love. The lighting was still out of alignment. The video you produced on aiming and aligning your headlights was very informative and helpful. After marking off the garage door, I should see how far off my headlights were. I corrected both lens with the adjustment points on the lens. Thanks to video, I can safely drive at night with no fear of seeing things on the roadway too late.

I'm happy to say I purchased your LED bulbs in 2020 for my 2020 Chevy 2500HD from here in central Alberta, and ... wow, what a bright, non-scattered light beam. Completely satisfied and recommend you to others. Great work; keep it up!! Will be back when I need some for other vehicles ort should I have to replace.

Great video. I recently replaced my headlight housings, as my old ones were very milky and cloudy, and cleaning really didn’t improve light output. Well once I installed the new one the light output was much greater, but I noticed my beam was aimed too low to the street limiting my light output distance greatly. Once I adjusted them following you method, it made such a world of a difference with road visibility. I barely have to cut on my high beams unless I’m on a really dark country road. Your instructions were very clear and concise.

Thank you. This was very helpful. Honestly, it feels like at least 20% of new vehicles on the road are poorly aimed straight from the factory. 2017-2019 Toyota Corollas always seem to blind me with their factory LED headlights. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm in a taller SUV or my Miata. Thank god the IIHS added headlight testing to their safety rating a few years ago. Hopefully the offending manufacturers will take the safety of oncoming drivers seriously. Honda seems to do the best job of making new vehicles with well-aimed headlights.

My new Toyota Corolla headlights were just honestly aimed too low. I felt that I wouldn’t be able to see an incoming deer or person on the highway that was further than 500 feet away. I decided to raise the headlights. Did it a little too much at first but then backed it down and am at a happy medium where I can see and there doesn’t seem to be many people being blinded by me either. Sometimes I think factory lights are just too low

Hello George! Sure thing, I can help! My first recommendation would be to de-fog your headlight lenses so the light can easily pass through your headlight lens. This should help with overall output and beam pattern development! Link: www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-Headlight-Restoration-Headlights-Protection/dp/B00429NKWK As for a headlight upgrade, here is everything we know works well in your Frontier! My personal recommendation would be the S-V.4 LED bulbs! Link: www.headlightrevolution.com/buyer-guide-by-vehicle/2001+Nissan+Frontier Let us know if you have any more questions!

Thanks for the video, helped me aim my lights after I leveled my truck. They had to come down quite a bit. I'm surprised you mentioned some LEDs work well as halogen replacements.. I was always under the impression LEDs, just like HIDs, require a projector rather than a reflector housing to be used correctly. Installing them in reflector type housings that halogens are found in usually create a ton of glare with no distinct cutoff. Interested in your thoughts on this...

Very good informational video! I installed LED’s in my 2019 Colorado Crew Cab 4x4, V6, WT, that only comes with reflector type headlights, I knew enough about headlights and aiming them along with light patterns to know I needed something special to do so. In my research I found just the thing I’m surprised you never mentioned. The brand I found out about at the time over 2 years ago was MORIMOTO TWO STROKE 2.0, H11 for low, that I will explain because their the ones you always have on, so you need to be able to aim correctly and control the illumination reflected out and down the road, so you don’t blind oncoming drivers. See they are designed so once you get them mounted without their sockets, you can still twist them so the led elements on the opposing sides are facing side to side! Then once you are all done you must re-aim them correctly. In the time since I have never been flashed, even when I tow my 27’ travel trailer! But the improvement in illumination of the roadway is absolutely amazing!! Especially with both high and low beams on!

I even had someone stand in front of both types of lights, and even he said that the LEDs I have installed are easier on the eyes and even the brights are not blinding in any way. The color temp of the LEDs are 8000k, but so far they have proven to be better in every way over the BLINDING white LEDs.

Great video! :) I have a 2011 Kia Sorento with I’m assuming original bulbs or same type as original, and driving at night sucks. I feel they aren’t bright and they aim low or something. The high beam works great, but I rarely get to use them. The light seems very amber in color, especially compared to the new cars with chunks of actual orbiting stars installed in them. Way too bright. Just wondering if I need to only adjust the lights or get new low beam bulbs? Like 4000K Sylvania H11STBP’s? I’m reading that the color helps more than the lumens. All I know is I need to see better at night because I do not feel safe.

If the bulbs are original from 2011, you could definitely benefit from an upgrade! Even replacing the OEM bulb will seem much brighter.

Thank you very much! After watching your headlight shootout and buying some GTR Ultra 2.0s, I knew you would have the best instructions for aiming them. Mine are a bit high, but I never noticed because my old bulbs were so dim. Keep up the good work!

I have a 14 Grand Cherokee Summit (HID). I have seen a bunch of D3S LED conversion bulbs, but I'm skeptical if any of them can meet or beat the performance of the factory bulbs. I already had a bulb going out so I thought I would give it a try, only to be completely disappointed as expected. Are there any you are aware of that are worth trying or should I just go ahead and get some Ozram night breaker lasers?

Stop using the standard 2" & 4" drop, these elevations change according to light height. States have min and max projection distances for the low beam. generally 135' minimum and 200' maximum. If you use the 2" drop @ 25' on headlights that are 42" you'll projected the beam @ 520' and not the state maximum. STOP BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS . 42" height @ 25' should be 5.25". Use the formula (42/200)x25=5.25" below center line. ( bulb centerline / light projection feet ) x the distance you are projecting it to ( test wall, test board or other ) it could be anywhere from 10 feet to 50 feet. Fog lights have a maximum of 135' projection, so get those adjusted correctly too.

I put in some led bulbs on a 2014 crv and both seem to be pointing to the right. These led light bulbs are designed to fit 1:1 replacement for halogen bulbs. They fit in nicely with the two smaller tabs on bottom and wider one on top. Not sure what can even be adjusted after that. Maybe some screw somewhere I need to mess with. Or maybe just try to dangle the bulbs a bit to the left before tightening.

Great video.. however is there a adjustment to not being able to use 25 feet as the metric? My driveway is slanted and to adjust my lights I have to remove part if the engine components (air filter housing, etc) so I need to adjust inside my garage. So is there a measurement drop that I can use for say 5 feet in distance?

Honestly, I personally have always just eyeballed it, granted I've always had lowered cars too. I just aim them where I can clearly see the cutoff of the lights sitting below the side mirrors of the car in front of me. If when I'm driving I can see it consistently jumping up into peoples side mirrors or over their trunk into the back windshield I'll aim them down some.

The high beam is designed to shine the light higher than the low beam. Also, because they are normally not on all the time like a low beam you really don't have to worry about adjustment as much as a low beam.

Get another HID kit for high beam? Or Fresh start with all led? I want the 6k whiter light for high and low if possible. Thanks for the videos and any advice given!
