I have lifted my ram and installed Spyder Halo headlights. Dumb question but what’s a good do it yourself headlight aiming trick?? Kinda like a good starting point to get them set up. My beam is kinda broad so looking to see if there is any old school or easy tricks to a gimme a good starting point to aiming my lights??

You need a flat area and a wall. I use the back wall of my garage since my driveway is pretty level. Pull up tight to the wall and mark the brightest part of the beams with masking tape in a cross.1 for each side. Back up 25' and putting something in front of 1 headlight (I use a piece of plywood leaning against a sawhorse, but really anything that will block 1 beam is fine) 1 side at a time adjust the headlights so the brightest part of the beam is on or just below the cross on the wall and as close left to right as possible. (I usually go just below so I'm not blinding people when I load the truck up as much). The darker the better when doing this.

So when you say tight you mean a foot or two??

Closer the better. Just don't hit the wall.
