Hi Guys...it's been a while since I visited. My wife's 2012 Rogue has been running great until this year. With 128,000 miles on it the transmission went out and we had it replaced at a local tranny shop and it is once again running great. :)
The transmission is not the reason for this visit.

I recently replaced the fogged up headlight assemblies. They are not OEM but they identical to the originals. It was an easy replacement. However, I have a question about aiming. I have them aimed correctly up & down (vertically). 25' from the wall, 4" below on driver's side and 2" below on passenger side using the height of the center of the light.

But...left and right (horizontal adjustment) they are both pointing to the left. I know how to make the adjustment but here is my question: Should the center of the beam be pointing directly straight ahead or should there be a little deviation to the inside or the outside of "straight ahead"?

Thanks for any help.

The left should be straight ahead, the right should be slightly low and to the curb.
