Default Procedure on How To align headlights

Ok, I replaced the bulbs last night... and didn't think that they would be out of alignmet THIS BAD! One is almost pointing straight down, the other is point off into space. Not good. Anybody have a procedure on how to align the main low beams?

Thanks in advance!

Well, I figured out that one of the bulbs wasnt' seated right. I corrected it and they're "pretty" straight. I found the up down adjustment and got that right.......

But is there a left to right adjustment? The passenger side light is pointing away from the car a couple degrees. Not pointing towards the center like it's supposed to.

Page 8L-108 shows the location of the lateral adjust screws.

This website was posted a few days ago and is a link to a section by section .pdf filedownload.

GREAT SITE!
