Measure where it is on the car, mark the position on a wall/garage door, pull back 25 feet then aim it so the light is thrown no higher than the marks.

Also aim slightly to the sides to obtain a wide cast of light.

On the car, low as you can w/o scraping them them off on speed bumps. Don't use them with high beams. They are used to light the way UNDER the fog and not as "I'm cool" run daytime running lights.

Oh now you tell me. Guess I am stuck playing it safe using them as DTRLs. But never considered or will consider them as 'cool'.
