Default recommended height 06 headlights.

i noticed that when i installed my 06's that they were pointed towards the road. literally the cutoff was about 10ft in front of me. i read the http://www.hypersprite.com/auto/tech-z-003/index.asp and he has his headlights set at 27.5 he does claim that these are higher than usual but i'm assuming his Z is at stock height, since he didn't specify.

My Z is lowered on Tanabe GF210's, 18" Nismo LMGT4's with 275/40 in the rear and 245/40 up front. I parked my Z 8ft on a leveled surface and adjusted the headlights to 27, after driving around they were too high for me so then i went back and lowered them to 25. I think they look perfect but i wanna make sure i'm not blinding anyone, and i'm getting the most ouput from my 06's.

i'm just curious for those lowered on a similar set up at what height are your headlights set at so i can adjust mine accordingly.

Park in front of a large store front window at night and adjust by reflection and re adjust if driving dictates it. Seeing is believing --forget specs on headlites

gotcha, i took the Z out tonight and we went to the casino and on the way there i noticed that when i'm about a car length behind another vehicle my headlights are lined up with the top of the trunk. My lights aren't making it into the vehicle and i was told that being lined up with an average vehicles trunk is a good reference.

No drivers going up or down the canyon flashed me, and it's pitch black at night in the canyons. so far so good.
