headlight adjustment
i got a 99 f250 psd that i just put the 07 headlights on and need to know the correct adjustment for them. i got a clymer haynes manual and it says to park 25 feet away from a blank wall and find the center point and all that. well in the picture it showes 2 marks horozntal from the ground. but dosent say how high up the marks are. so if park 25 feet from the wall how high up should my low beams be from the ground up on the wall????

I see you are in Florida, but up here in NY, NYS inspection regulations state that the headlamps should be adjusted 2" down in 25 feet vertically, and dead straight ahead horizontally.

Measure from the ground to center of headlight, make a mark at the same heigth on the wall your headlight beam should be 4" below this mark and 4" to the right. This will also help to illuminate the fog line better.I use this formula and have great results.
