    I didn't find any other posts about aiming the headlights. I feel like mine are aimed too low. I just can't see very far down a reall dark rural road especially when nearing the bottom of a hill and the road rises outside of the light.

    Anyone have any quick tips? They're bright enough, just too low in my opinion.

    putting a 8mm(may be 10mm) on the bolt is easier imo. More consistent
