There is an adjustment screw behind the headlight. The adjustment should be done with care and consideration for on coming traffic. There are tools to get this adjustment correct but you may achieve a decent result if you use a wall or garage door to adjust the headlight aim. Please take consideration for oncoming traffic.

See that philips screw with a hex head above the two gears (just to the bottom right of the turn signal bulb base):

is there an "industry standard" for point of aim at 20"? 10ft maybe?

If you use a projector low beam, the "elbow" is that first bend from the lower side (left in this case) to the higher side: Note that with both low beams on the vehicle, it will look a bit fuzzy because of the overlapping patterns of both (left & right) low beams. You can cover one headlight at a time with cardboard to make it clearer. See an example of the overlap here, especially when the wall is close: If you have freeform reflectors, like the OE bugeye headlights (with dual filament for low + high beams), then the "elbow" may be a bit difficult to discern. Covering one headlight at a time will help more than in the projector case imho. Here's one using the OE bugeye's low beams. You can almost spot the two elbows; the one on the right side is just a little to the right of that vertical beam on the wall painted white. |
