I have a CITI golf as a town run-around and the headlights are set all wrong. As a consequence I am constantly flashed by people at night who think my rights are on. In fact if it wernt for the small spots high-beam would be better for other drivers at it shines in the trees...

Is there a methodology for setting headlights?

I have heard of pulling the car up to a wall (in a flat place) then marking the centres off the lights and then pulling back x amount of meters and resetting the beams to the markings... Anyone heard of that method and know the distances used?
