Default Just put in new headlights and fogs, aiming question.

Ok, all the housings up front are new, just out them in today and all are oem. Now my beams are all over the place and I know I can aim them myself but I never seem to be able to get it right on anything I've ever aimed, maybe it's just me but it seems like they are always off a bit. My question is has anyone ever gone to the dealer or a body shop and had this done before? How much would something like this cost me? At this point I'm ready to just pay someone else to do it so I don't have to mess with them.

Go online, there are tons of "how-to's" on how to aim them properly.

I know how to do it, I worked on it for a while last night, I just always feel like they're off a little and don't feel like messing with them any more. I don't mind paying someone to do it I just don't know what places charge.

Minimum probably $80 bucks. I have no clue who would have the machinery to do it, I would assume a dealer
