It now occurred to me that in order for one to call up the info, you may have to register with the newspaper. This should save you that inconvenience:

I have a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan, and when I have the low beams on, I can see them shooting almost straight into the ground only a few feet in front of the van. When I have my high beams on, no one flashes their lights at me to go to low beam. I believe my headlights are not aimed correctly.
I have not had any success in finding the recommended adjustment to aim them. Do you know what the proper aim is for the headlights?

A Here's a simple headlight aiming procedure that works for most vehicles. Make sure the fuel tank is at least half full, then park the vehicle on a level surface about 6 inches from a vertical surface -- the driveway and garage door often work well for this. Turn on the low beams and mark the center of the "hot spot" from each headlight with a masking tape "+" on the wall or door. Back the vehicle straight back about 25 feet, and check where the hot spot from each headlight now falls. They should be about 2 inches below and 2 inches to the right of each "+" on the wall. Adjust accordingly.

Most auto parts stores will have a little plastic headlight aiming device that clips to the lense of your headlamp assy, and has a bubble level built into the device to get the correct up/down adjustment. On that same note,a buddy was showing me somthing under the hood of his several year old Mitsubishi car. While under the hood,I noticed that each headlight assy has a bubble level built in with an easy to reach thumb wheel adjuster on each headlight assy. Makes a very easy adjustment if you temporarily load the rear of the car heavy enough th compress the springs and need to move at night. Might take 15 seconds to adjust each headlight assy for a given load.
