I need some advice on how to get my headlights straight, they were straight till I had to take the in tire front grill and everything with it for this little project

Turned out nice in my opinion but any how I know how to adjust everything I just can't seem to get it right like it used to be, is there any tools or tricks I haven't been able to find or maybe I'm just dumb lol any advice would be helpful

Drive up to your garage door. Then turn the lights on. Use the garage door to level out the lights by eye-balling the center of the glare.

Find a nice level area with something flat to point your lights at and start adjusting. Took me awhile to adjust mine perfectly after replacing the front end. Keep at it and dont quit til they are perfect. Its only 2 easy screws per side.

I left a screwdriver in the console for adjusting the headlights the first few days. Took a bit of road driving to align them to personal tastes.
