Move to a level surface. Place a marker at 300 inches from the front of the vehicle. Measure the center height of the lamps. The top edge of the beam should be at the same height 300 in. out, and slightly aimed to the right with a 42 in. spread between the two beam centers.

FYI: Full run down of this procedure, along with a diagram was just posted here on XF ironically enough, relating to another thread.

Hope this helps...
