OK, how do you know where the light is being aimed while your doing it? I usually have shops do all my work because I'm about as mechanically inclined as a 6 year old girl!

Find a wall. Park on level ground. Measure 25 feet from the wall. Park jeep. Take roll of duct tape. Measure 3 feet up wall. Rip off piece of tape and stick to wall. Go back to jeep and adjust beams until they hit tape. Remove tape from wall. Go home.

you have to manipulate them horizontally as they do not have a screw adjuster for horizontal adjustment only vertical adjustment. just measure up about 36" from the ground and run a length of tape (I use painters tape as it is easy to remove from the wall) use the vertical adjustment to make it so the brightest part of the beam is on the tape and then just push on the outside of the lights to spread the pattern to get your horizontal adjustment. It is much easier if you pull your grill so you can wedge a piece of electricians tape or something similar in the light bracket to keep them aimed where you want. When you get them properly aimed then put the grill back on.

Just park it next to your other car. If it is stock, just line it up
After my lift, I parked it next to my wifes rav4 about 10 feet from the garage amd just aimed them to the same place as the rav4s

Matching it up to some other vehicle is not going to properly aim them

This may be a useless point but I did notice when installing that you need to be careful when tightening them in during the install as it is possible to not set them into the socket completely straight so you may want to check that.
