Default Oregon: Aiming Headlights

Hey guys.

Do u know of any places in oregon that will aim ur headlights for u? I just bought retrofit
headlights and they are aimed up too high. I would do it myself but I can't find a location where
Its flat and that I can project the light 25 ft away from a wall.

Well if u guys know of any places where its flat with a wall and has plenty of open space let me
Know. Also if u know of any shops also. Thx.

I did it in my driveway against my garage door. But then again my driveway is at least 40 feet long. LOL

Never hurts to call and ask! You should never feel obligated to just get a quote.

I called the firestone where I usually take my car in for alignments and they said they don't do it. If you don't want to do it yourself go to a tuner shop like VIP Performance or Horsepower Freaks and ask if they can do it. Or you can go check out the old bestbuy on airport way. On the side they have a garage door and a flat surface. You can probably aim it yourself there.

That's actually a good place! I'll try that out. I rather do itmyself than pay someone although theyll
Probably do a more accurate job. Thanks. I'll try vip performance or horsepower freak if all fails.
However I think hp freak is only a parts store. There used to be torque freaks who did
Installations but they closed. Funny thing is they were next to each other and owned jointly.
