Default BA Falcon headlight low beam height adjustment

Hi, someone here previously posted instructions on how to calculate the low beam headlight height for the B series falcon. It was a couple of years ago and I can't find that thread.

Does anyone have the instructions?

Hey just want to make sure I'm reading this right. If the bulb is 640mm off the ground, then the cut off beam should be 640mm at a distance of 5m.

Am I reading it correctly?

Nope...

The horizontal aimpoint should be 11mm lower than the height of the bulb centre for every meter of distance the wall you are aiming at is away from the bulb centre.

So if the wall is 5m away, the aim point will be 55mm lower than the bulb centre. 585mm.
