Default Opinions on your Preferred headlight angle in Degrees?

After cleaning the projectors, I believe I have them at about +1 degree, but they seem to hit the road 20ft in front of the car and the High beams don't give that "down the road," feel.

What degree are you guys running at to get the best vision down road, but not kill oncoming traffic?

Default Forget about the other traffic....most of them have lights 10 times brighter then ours...

...anyone that has ever driven with me at night in the S4 feels sorry for me. Use your high beams....and see how many ppl actually care about your light intensity.

The euro housings and lenses are the best safty insurance you can have on these cars.....good tires and brakes are nothing if you can't see whats ahead.

Default I have mine set at 1.2%. Works out to a 3.5 inches drop over 20 feet.

Your 1 degree works out to about a 4 inch drop over 20 feet. If the beam hits the road over 20 feet, then you have it angled down too much.

Default These headlights are pretty good.

Assuming the lenses are pitted and the projectors aren't hazed. The person I purchased one of my sets of urs4 headlights from had to buy new ones because he couldn't see at night. He didn't know you could just buy the lenses and clean the projectors. Poor guy paid a LOT of money for new headlights!
