       I have a poor man's method!  Flat driveway leading to a garage door.  
Pull up close to the door, turn on high beams and slowly back away.  The beam 
should just "blossom" on the door.  If it travels up or down or sideways, 
readjust for no movement.  That adjusts the headlights for directly ahead 
which is legal in every state I have messed with.
