Default Aligning headlights - DIY

I had to replace some headlight covers on my 944 turbo project, and then had to realign them. I thought other people might not know how it's done.

Hi Mike! Yeah, I picked up this '86 that needs a bit of work. My goal is to make it sound, then probably sell it. I need some cash for racing...

Cool! I'll have to swing by some time and catch up. Also, I have a bunch of used stock parts you can take if you want anything random. Nothing too desirable, but good parts to get a car going.
