I know where the adjustments are at and know how to do it. I just don't know where the headlights should be aiming.

On the wall or garage door mark the lights’ horizontal centerlines with masking tape. The masking tape should make a straight line across the wall. Also mark the vertical centerline for each light.
Move your car back 10 to 25 feet from the garage or wall.
Turn on the headlights on low beam. Adjust the lights so that they hit two to four inches below the horizontal centerline and two to four inches right of the vertical centerline.
When you adjusted the low beams it should have set your high beams to the right level as well.

Best method it to use a headlight adjusting system. You roll the system infront of the headlight while on level ground and by using mirrors it shows where the headlight is aimed and where it should be aimed.
Otherwise try this: http://www.advanceautoparts.com/english/youcan/html/ccr/ccr20010801ha.html#
For those who live in countries that drive on the wrong side of the road :-) just reverse the left and right adjustments.

You're going to have to take your time with this one! It's not something that you can do quickly! My best advice (I've been through this twice!) trial and error! Take an hour or so and adjust and check! Tweak it a little get in and turn the lights on and check positioning. Probably best if you do this in the dark so you can check where the light covers! Good luck!

set up a board four feet away at the height of your knees an adjust the lights to hit it dead on.

on older cars at least there are screws that you use to adjust them. should be near the top.

straight ahead, and a little down.
