I just bought a pair of new crystal clear lenses/reflectors and I want to fine tune the aim.

Thing is, I see all the various procedures on youtube and such, but my question is...it seems the only easily adjustable screw on the lens adjusts mostly vertically.

Obviously there are 2 other points of adjustment, but I aimed the lights the best I could by eye, and they don't look right in relation to the signal lenses and grill peice, they seem to be aimed way to the passenger side and the gaps look off. The light output looks ok down the road, but the lenses themselves seemed way off horizontally.

Is there a specific procedure for these lenses? I know they have the little bumps and letters/numbers stamped into the bottom of the lens for adjustment, is there a tool for this that does it accurately?

By the way I don't have a garage door or 40 feet of perfectly level driveway to do it the normal way...
