Use a long Philips screwdriver.

You'll never imagine how much this photo helped me when me and my dad braved the cold about a month ago and aligned my headlights.

To level your head lights find a flat surface and a falt wall.
Have your head lights on for adjustment.
(Use the Back of a building or garage door but both surface needs to be flat as possible).

Height
Measure from the ground to the center of the head lights.
Put some tape on the wall at the same height,
On the ground mark twenty feet from the wall to your head lights.

Horizontal
Find the distance between your headlights and the center betwen your two head lights
(The emblem will do)
Divide it in half and make a mark on the wall

------Left ------------Cent -----------------Right

+------+-----------------+---------------------+

(28)--24----------------0--------------------28 (Numbers are approx yours will be diff)

Mark on the tape on the wall as shown above

The left light must be 4 inches off Center so not to blind on coming drivers on curves or corners
Adjust your head lights so the beam of your head light hit the L and R marks.
Hope this helps,
Tim
