    Okay, I have no idea what brand headlights I have. Looks like Chinese, one machine makes them, many sell them type. They’re nice, I will say that much. Does anyone know how the hell to aim them? I did the horizontal/height already, but there’s also another adjuster for left/right (like toe). I aimed them at 25’ but there’s these steps/notices that I have ZERO idea what they do are are there for. I can’t find any documentation or instructions. Any help?

    Spyder headlight adjustment in your google machine.

    the lamps you have are Chinese with poor optics. They are not LED unless you installed a kit. If that is true you may need to rotate the “bulb” to find the best hot spot before adjusting.
    Level ground, 25 to 30 feet from the wall.
    Find the centerline and adjust based on your local laws of how high and how wide the beam should be.

    I have the twin light version... they are easy to adjust, output....OEM is better, by a lot.
