I wouldn't try to do this myself, I would have it done by a professional

they say the best way is to drive up to a wall and put a pice of tape where the light is then back the truck 25 feet then pont the head lame 3" below the first mark or tape then you are set. i may be wrong but you will have to to try. i did mine this way but they were off just a little but that can be fine tuned i had to do mine after installing a new set of lamps i went with some cristal clear ones hope that helps

FoxRider934 is right, that would be the best way to be safe. Do it my way if you are only confident that you can.

Yeah bcuz one of my friends tried to adjust his lights, and it was so far off it looked like it was cross eyed. It was funny. If your confident, do it yourself, but if you have any doubts take it somewhere to have it done.
