Default E-Code Aiming. Are yours aimed like this?
<center><img src="http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z301/PHOTOSFILE/E-codeAiming.jpg"></center><p>While this is not my picture....this is how I have mine aimed. I find this stepped pattern has the best coverage without any dead spots and does not blind oncoming traffic.

Default Mine are level. I found with the higher wattage bulbs, the coverage is uniform
with no dead spots in front of my car.

Default Screw oncoming traffic
no really. they can flash me all they want

mine are raised a little on both sides since there are tons of creepy roads with no lights. not as bad as VERMONT back roads, you cannot tell where the horizon is. Where in CT are you?
