Another Headlight Aiming Question
I've been reading in the 4th Gen forum guys are cranking their headlights up a bit to improve their performance on their trucks, raising the focus up a bit.
I've fought with the lights on my 06 since I bought it. I'm running the brightest bulbs you can buy for it, and its still sub par. I've attached some 'garage shots for you guys to have a look at.
1st pic (Low Beams @ ~20ft)
2nd pic (High Beams @ ~20ft)
3rd pic (High Beams + Lightforce Offroad Lights @ 20ft).
I use my offroad lights to be able to see properly on the highway.
Please advise! I'll go buy the Torx 20 screwdriver this evening if it'll help.

Compared to all the angry eyebrow chevy lights like the Colorado and the avalanche... Dodge is much better. I don't have experience with the newer lights.. And I've found the 06+ lights to be not as good at the 05-.
This is all my opinion though.

I had what I believe were the OEM bulbs (Philips?) in the truck when we bought it. They were beyond terrible. We could not see ANYTHING at night, it was almost like the headlights weren't even on. The PIAAs are 1000x better, but still lacking IMHO.
I guess I'm just trying to figure this out before we plow into a moose during a winter night drive...

Headlights at a 30ft distance on a flat surface should be the same height on the wall as your bulbs are on your truck. Cranking up your headlights to the sky(blinding others) actually makes things worse not better as you loose light reflection from the ground. There is a high saturation of light when aimed up high.
I'll sell you my custom retro fitted HID's if interested. They are everything your looking for out of lights! PM me, although they ain't cheap..haha
