Park your car in front of a wall. Then adjust the two screws. One is a left/right adjustment , the other is a up/down adjustment. Your goal is to get them straight. The light from both lights should come together towards the end of the light given from the headlights.

There's a tech article.

That last way works too.

Pull your car up to a wall. Put a peice of tape level to both of your healight on the wall, then pull the car back 10 feet away from a wall, then have the headlights aimed exactly straight onto the two peices of tape you put on the wall. Try to keep them pointing inwards a "little bit" Gives you a better amount of light right in frint of you car crossing the beam ever so slightly about 40 feet infront of your car.
