i don't know if there is a proper link anywhere.. i believe the nhtsa/dot official standard is that the beam should drop about 1-2" for every 25' or so.. the problem is these cars are so low, i seem to end up aiming my headlights more so they are even with the ground overall--following the standard, it seems the beam hits the ground at 100' and i start over-driving the lights more...

overall, i make sure that it stays off the road signs, and stays well below most people's eyes the majority of the time..
