Default Please help me on these decision...need it very soon..

I just search the archive again and get these two posts:

Which one should I use to aim the 99.5 headlight? I've read the http://lighting.mbz.org one and it's so complicated. Just want to use the most simple method as I only have a ruler and screwdriver.

Method 1:
Park your car 25 feets away from a wall, measure the height from the ground to your headlight's projector center, say X, adjust the cutoff point on the wall to have a height which equals to X minus 2 inches for the left bulb.

Then the horizontal cutoff middle step for your left bulb should be 2 inches towards the center of the car from the original straight position.

Same as the right bulbs where 2 inches down from cutoff (then a little bit higher comparing to left bulb) and 2 inches towards center.


Method 2:
Park your car 30 feets away and have the cutoff at 3 feets from the ground on the wall

Or Method 3 that you give to me now?

My car has Audi Eurosport and OEM sport shock in case you need for consideration.

What do you think? Which one should I go for?

So method 1 is the most simple and accurate to aim, right? Thanx
