Adjust your high beam 25 foot from wall, to the same height as your headlight with you sitting on bike. Just did mine last night.......

Measure from the ground up to the center of your headlight while someone of your size is setting on you bike. (Mine is 34") whatever your measurement is on the headlight,thats how far up the wall you put the piece of tape and your low beam should hit the tape.
