Subject:      Where to aim the headlights? SA grill.

I am psyching myself up for putting in the 7" round lights for the south
african grill... i have the wires and relays and switches and fuses and
lights and holders and beer and much more stuff. Now so i don't
re-invent the wheel, is there is simple (as in w/ minimal
trial-and-error) means to where and how to aim the lights? Does someone
have a dead-on formula for this that works? I know i can install them,
drive around and then tilt them up or down or left or right. But is
there a "real" way to do this? (LIke put the lights 8' in front of you
but 2' in the air, etc.). I'm a scientist and physicist- give me a
formula damnit. I'm tired of experimenting.

Second, what about the inner driving lights- how do i aim them too.
These would be a flood-light type of light i suppose that are mounted at
the same vertical height as the headlights.

thanks
