20 feet is good enough.
The cut off is supposed to be how high from the ground your headlights are.
The passenger side needs to be aimed the same height.
The passenger side cut off flare will be slightly higher than the driver side when you aim them correctly.
This is to help light up the sidewalks and streetsigns and such.

Re: help with headlight plz!!!
to do it by manufacturer specs, park the car 25 feet away from the wall. make sure the ground is level and not inclined. the "cutoff" of the beam should drop about 2-2.5" from the center of the headlight. make sense?
