Doesn't look that bad to me, but I'm a newb. I don't think you can adjust the tilt by using the vertical and horizontal adjustments. Do the headlights fit straight with the hood and grill? If so, I don't think there's much you can do. If you really want to get into it I believe you can take the headlight apart and tweek the cuttoff shield.

Looks alright to me. Without measurements I can't be totally sure but it looks alright.

Yeah, it looks alright. I see what you're saying about the right-side flare. It kind of looks sloppy on a wall, but it's not bad and will help illuminate signs. Nobody will notice it unless you are pointing at a wall, though. No worries.

They both look a bit high, so if you get flashed try lowering the cutoff line about 6 inches. It is hard to tell from a picture, though.

*Actually, re-looking at the pics, especially the ones with the fire lane, the height looks about right. A basic rule of thumb is if you are behind a small sedan (BMW for instance), your lights shouldn't shine in the back window, they should just light up the back of the car. If they are lighting up their whole car, they are aimed too high....lol.

Thanks for all the input guys. I was looking at the info. in this link and it looks like something I would like to do. I'll see after I put in the HIDs.

I don't personally like the flat cutoff...kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a cutoff shield IMO, plus I like being able to read signs at night. But, it does look cleaner against a wall. It's not often you drive into a wall, though, I would hope. And if you do, your cutoff is probably the least of your concerns....

Signs, we don't need no stinkin signs!

Haha...yeah, they're just suggestions, anyway.

When I'm really looking for a road, I turn on my fogs...the HID's in those spread light all over the place and light signs up great!

Here is a pic of the cut off shield. I didn't think it would have a shield on top and bottom. Normal?
