well, what i personally do, is walk 5 steps from the front and turn around. The light shouldn't go above your knees (aprox). That is what I do, and it works pretty good. Besides, you have to see how they do at night in traffic. If the lights hits the front car side mirror, its still too far up. I would say that when you get close to a car, your lights shouldn't go above the bumper.

I hope this works for you, because it worked for me.
