ya, I just installed a new headlight (the whole assy.) and had to readjust
them.. I found a nice big white flat wall and pulled up about 15-20' away
from it.. trying to get as stright to it as possible and the used a T15 (i
think) torx bit and just adjusted both headlights untill they were about
1-1 1/2' feet above the ground and were farily centered to each other...

The service manual has specifications for headlamp adjustment..., it is a
set distance from a wall (25 ft), on the level and properly centered.
Measure the height and position of the center of each headlamp and transfer
to the wall. They go into quite a bit on how to do this .... then, I quote
"The preferred headlamp alignment is 1" down for the up/down adjustment and
0 for the left/right adjustment".
