Against a wall... White if possible, from about 20 feet away, works best...

Were your old headlights out of whack too?

no they werent but the reason i had to replace one of my headlights was becuase it broke in a fender bender. i got a new headlight and since it was better i bought a replacement for the other side too. the thing is its the drivers side light that appears of kilter and it was the passenger side that was broken in the fender bender.
ill see if i can find a wall where i can park 20 feet away and still be level. as i live in seattle this may be a difficult task...

*edit* the main problem ive noticed is in high beams it seems the drivers side illuminates way off to the left more then it does the middle of the road. which it doesnt have this problem in low beams. from what i can tell is there is one bulb in there so i cant explain it. maybe the drivers side is doing this on low beams. but i just cant notice it. no idea.. hmm cant form coherant thought... oh yeah thats right its 2 friggen AM! i think i gets some sleepy t....i.....m....e now......

*snores*
