Right, but remember those two points are about 18" apart, so what looks like "below" at 25 feet could actually be aimed upward slightly. Also, you're going to get a pile of foreground lighting with these, so be prepared for that cause it'll actually make things in the distance look darker as the foreground lighting is playing with your eyes.

You want a 2.5" drop at 25'. So if the fog lights are 20" off the ground on the truck at 25' on the wall the top of the cut off should be 22.5"

What do you recommend the top cutoff be for the low beams in that setup?

Low beams work the same way. 2.5" drop at 25'

I didn't measure, but I was in between the rows in the parking lots. I'd say it was about a truck length. Why?

May use that as a guide. Having a heckuva time finding a 40 foot length of level ground. Parking lots in my town all slope.

24-25' is the ideal distance. Somewhere between horizontal and 2" drop is what you want for fogs.

But figure 10' for the truck itself and you have close to 40'

They don't seem to wide, but the beam pattern is very tight, no glare, and bright. I like it!

They gain width...a lot of it...once you're away from the truck. Claimed width from Rigid is 45* but they sure seem wider than that from behind the wheel.
