TYC Headlights are in...how to aim them?
Bought a set of TYC headlights and corners. Look great. Put some Silverstar bulbs in them too. How do I aim the headlights? I have to move one of the low beams up and the high beams head to come inward. They're pionting towards both ditches. Thanks for you help.

Anyone....? For you guys that have these lights...do you notice the the low beams really have a sharp cut off on the top of the lights when you aim the lights at a wall or garage?

Mine seem to give off what looks like the Batman symbol when they are pointed at a wall. What I did was park 25 ft away from a wall and measured from the ground to the bulb in the truck and subtracted 2 inches then I went to the wall and that new measurement was where I aimed the top of the beam to for height and then I aimed them a little to the right of center.

I did the "wall" test and adjusted them. Then I went for a quick drive in a dark area and fine tuned it by looking at the pattern on the ground.
I'm gonna call TYC and ask em about the Batman symbol also. I thought I was the only one with that but my buddy bought a set for his 96' Burban and he has it as well as you. It is much more pronounced with HIDs and I'm not 100% sure if I like it or not. LOL

"The Batman" symbol is a good way to put it. Glad I'm not the only one who has this. I first thought something was wrong. Never seen anything like that before coming form headlights. But the headlights look great on the truck!!

They definately do look good 
Did you get them aimed right?
I think mine are a tad low because my high beams don't light up the road like they do on my GMC so I'm thinking about adjusting them. Just don't wanna blind everyone. LOL
