+1 but just to help you out there are little knobs on the back of each headlight and the highest one controls the left to right movement while the lower one controls the up and down. sorry i have no pics but it's pretty hard to miss and will need a small socket, can't remember the size but it's really small. just fyi the lower one (up, down) if you're turning clockwise it makes the beam patter go higher and of course if you do the opposite it will go down

Thanks guys, I read the owners manual like 2 times, and i never realized they had a section for that.

I hope i aimed them good, though it seems a little off, i hate it lol. I honestly took like an hour in the garage just making it somewhere perfect

You want to aim them 25 feet away from the wall. You'll want a 2-2.5" drop at 25 feet. Measure the distance from the ground to the center of your headlight reflector. Mark the wall 2-2.5" lower than the measured distance. That's what you're aiming for.
