Need Help on how to allign headlights on '88 240D

Pull your car up to the garage door or dark wall(25ft away) and turn the lights on,are they aiming different?If so open the hood and you'll see the adjuster knobs behind the lights(suprised you didn't see them when replacing lights).There are 2 knobs, the one on top controls up and down movement and the one on the side controls L&R movement.
If you need to put a piece of tape on the door/wall and pull right up to the door and correct that way.Oh yea the car should be level,1/2 tank of gas and nothing heavy in the trunk.
The inspection garages here in Maine have a test for alignment of lights.the SAAB failed because it was missing the headlamp mounting bracket.You might want to have it checked after at a dealer or garage.
