Before headlights became part of the body lines, New York State required properly adjusted headlights as part of the yearly vehicle inspection. We had alignment devices that suctioned onto the sealed beam headlights. A few moments with a phillips head screwdriver and you were done. I think a lot of the blinding brightness today is due more to improper adjustment than the brighter bulbs. Headlight alignment checks should be an inspection requirement again.

Have you any advice on adjusting headlights for the amateur? This
explanation is hard for me to follow. I usually drive out to a flat country road in the dark and adjust by eye.
