headlight adjustment

[gbizzle27]

What is the proper way to adjust the headlights? They point about 15 feet infront of the car witch makes it nearly impossible to drive at night.

Here is how I adjusted the headlights on my SHO.

1. Park the car about 25 feet away from a wall. Make sure the SHO is level and the wall is perpendicular
2. Hold a level from the middle of the headlight and measure the distance to the ground.
3. Aim the headlights 2 inches lower on the wall than the measurements taken above.
4. Aim the right headlight straight ahead
5. Aim the left headlight slightly right.

Take the SHO to a dark road and check it our. Have a friend drive towards you to see if the glare is too much. Make adjustments as necessary.
I have seen special devices to aim headlights, but I didn't have access to such tools.
