Where can I take my Gen 1's to get aimed.

After getting them like 3-4 months ago I have never been able to get them perfectly aligned. My question is, where can I take it to just get it computer aligned. Also does anyone know of a fair price to pay for this service?

Thanks

I've never heard of someone getting headlights "computer aligned." It's not rocket science. Nor should you pay for it, just keep tinkering with it.

^ that.

park near a blank wall some night, like the back of a store someplace. Have your tools with you and some patience. You'll get it.

All you gotta do is go take the necessary tools and go drive to a good spot and aim them. Hell I drove a 10 min drive with my retros with no lenses on them to aim them level.
