I have this aiming tool that tell me if they are level or not, however this only works for the vertical adjustment.

Someone sells a template looking like a bedsheet with two targets on it. You hang it on your garage door and use it to aim your headlights.

I use the garage door to get a rough estimate, then drive around at night. I keep raising the beams until I get about 3 headlight flicks per minute from oncoming drivers, then adjust them down a tad... :)

A support bra usually gets them pointed in the right direction.
