Default Aiming Headlights

Anyone ever come up with a clever way to aim both the hi and lo beams on a C3? Aside from just eyeballing it, I mean. The AIM details a procedure that uses some sort of brackets or aiming device, so that's not any help.

You can pick these up on ebay frequently.

Basically I do mine the same, find a flat parking lot with a building wall, piece of chalk and a tape measure.

Make sure you have a full tank of gas and if you can have someone sit in the driver seat it's even better

Those are interesting. Wouldn't mind renting a pair, but I don't think I want to buy any.

That's a good read. Just gotta find the right place.
