There is a staggering amount of people who don't read their owners manual.

It was a generalized statement. There are people that have them that don't read them, there are people without them that still wouldn't read them.

It boggles my mind that people can't figure anything out without a writeup or diagram. I've seen post after post of people saying the dumbest things:

"How do I adjust my headlights"
"How do I change my oil"
"How do I take my wheels off"
"How do I change my headlight bulb"

These are things car enthusiasts are supposed to be able to figure out on there own. If you can't figure out the most basic tasks, then how do you ever hope to modify your car other than throwing money at a mechanic?

I just visted the kalecoauto.com and about loled very hard. But anyway, to the OP, just follow the directions from the pic in the above posts and then if you look at the back yourself it's pretty self explanitory. The way I adjust mine is find a parked car (preferably a friends) and park several feet behind it, about the distance you would if you would NORMALLY follow and drive behind traffic. Then adjust the headlights so the LOW beams fall just below the back window and then make sure when you turn on the high beams that they shoot directly into the back window...it's a VERY good medium to where you can see a decent amount plus if someone pisses you off you can high beam the hell out of 'em.
