Hello everyone, I would like to know how to make sure my headlight is aimed correctly. I think mine MIGHT be a little high.

If I can see the road clearly then it's high enough.  If not, I raise it.  Until I get frequent flashing from oncoming cages with low beam selected.  Then it's too high.  That pretty much teaches me where to set it - and don't need to rely on the flashes after that.  I find this method to be the definitive height indicator, as opposed to any measurement method (which is a good place to start).  Measure the height to the center of the headlight.  Mark that spot on a piece of cardboard on the wall.  Adjust the spot so it hits that point.  Then go test drive it and fine tune as above.
