Hey, Joe.

<snip> Whats the best way to aim your headlight beams??<snip>

Park on a flat, level surface with a wall 25 ft away from the front of your
headlights.
Tape a line 5 ft up the wall, parallel to the ground, & sight along the DAK
centerline to verify the location of the tape.
Rock the DAK side-to-side three times & jounce the front suspension three
times (push down on the bumper & release), to get the suspension to
stabilize.
Measure the distance from the center of the headlight lenses to the
ground/floor.
Transfer this measurement to the wall & mark it with a horizontal tape line,
for up down adjustment.
Measure from the DAK centerline to each headlight centerline.
Transfer these lines to the wall with a vertical tape line to each side of
the DAK centerline, for left/right adjustment.
Turn on the lowbeams.
Clean the lenses.
Check for proper tire inflation.
TOP edge of the beam should be 2 inches above or below the headlight
centerline tape.
LEFT Side edge of the beam should be two inches right or left of the
vertical tape lines.
IDEAL ADJUSTMENT:
TOP edge of beam: 1 inch down from the line.
LEFT Side of beam: dead nuts on for side to side.

Right out of the Bible!
