I  think that the best aiming for these lights is to place the car on a flat
surface with a flat wall (or garage door) about the normal distance that you
would be if you were stopped behind a car at a stoplight.  Note:  behind a
sedan type vehicle, not an SUV.  

The low beam side of the headlight illumination should be just a tad below
where the rear window would be on a normal sedan. The left headlight 15
degree rise would be just to the right of the center, and the right
headlight 15 degree rise would be on the right edge of the rear window.

The highbeams?  Well, I think they will be just swell when the low beams are
aimed as above.  Those nasty folks who are fool enough to approach you with
their high beams on...well, they really couldn't see anyway, could they?
