Default Headlight adjustment tips?

One of my headlights is adjusted higher than the other. I was following my brother a few weeks ago and he told me that one was brighter than the other. On the garage door, I can see that one is higher on dim. How do I measure to find the correct alignment other than going for a night drive and guessing? Where are the adjusting screws...I am assuming they are just like any other headlight adjustment.

There is only a vertical adjustment, takes a 6mm allen wrench.

See post 7 in here for location: (this thread is from 2007 so please don't post in it)

Edit: Meant to add, you can simply shine the lights on the the garage wall and match the height of the other light or if you want to get more into it, Google adjusting headlights, there are how-to's and videos showing ways to be more accurate.

Done! I will give it a test drive tonight and check it out. Once again, thanks for the link. I could have read the manual, but this is more fun!
