Headlight Aiming

I have a question hopefully someone can answer. I've done a 2.5" Daystar spacer kit with larger tires. The problem is that my headlights seem to shine above where they used to. I get brighted a lot and the lights shine into cars ahead of me when I pull behind them. Anyone have any ideas on how to aim them correctly?

Not sure if they have them in your area, but out in Calif. there are shops that do headlight aiming if you are not comfortable doing it yourself. I aim my own on the garage door, I tend to point mine lower than what a shop would do. I do this to avoid blinding oncoming drivers at night and I find that the lights work better in bad weather aimed down a bit steeper, on a lifted truck.

be careful on the second gen 4runner/third gen truck headlight aiming screws. i barely tweaked mine too far (hard to tell when it was too far cause they were tight and stubborn the whole time anyway) and now it's stuck pointing as high as possible. i hate the lighting on my vehicle! now i might need to get a whole new headlight if I can't find just the adjuster mechanism for cheap.
