Do anyone have a formula on adjusting head lights ? Distance - height ? Can it be done parked so far from a wall ?
Thanks Karl

Your green book explains the entire process and includes all the measurements.

I adjust them to the point I am happy with them, both by driving down the road and by pointing them at a wall if necessary. The adjustment needs to reflect the load you are typically going to be carrying and the kinds of roads you are going to be driving.

Remember that blinding an oncoming driver is a good way to get someone killed and that someone could be you.
