Do I need to raise my projectors? At night its hard to see...

Hey everyone..I wanted to know if I need to raise my projectors up some...at night it seems as if my lights only light up about 10-15 feet in front of me...they dont seem to be projected to far and I wanted to get your input if I need to raise up my projectors..

I took a brief video..

Find a flat building, back up 25 feet and your low beams should be aimed 2 inches down from the center of the light on the car. If you are lowered it may change a bit, but you for sure do not want the beam projection to be above the height or you will blind traffic.

looks like your driver's side projector is rotated counterclockwise a few degrees which may be part of your problem. Hard to tell exactly that close to the wall though. Like posted above, find a wall, park 25ft away from it, and adjust them using my DIY.

It looks a bit low. Your fogs light up the exact same area as your headlights. blk06x got it right. Every 25 ft, your headlight should decline 2 inches. That's like the NHTSA standard in the US.
