Do not have a Bear Alignment handy. Does anyone know distances (distance from, height, and distance to left, etc)

to align when using a brick wall. I know that is barbaric, but just need to get in ball park until I take both cars in for inspection......thanks!

I make a mark on the wall straight forward of each headlight. I make a second mark 2"-3" below the first on the verticle centerline. Back the car away from the wall 20-25ft and set the headlights on high beam. Center the bright spot as best you can on the lower of the marks on the wall. It helps to cover one headlight and work on the other one. When you flip down to the low beam, the pattern should move down and to the right (shoulder side). The area between the wall and the car should be as level as possible and the car should be loaded as normally driven. The amount of fuel in the tank doesn't make a lot of difference since it is forward of the rear axle.
