If I were driving with a wall in front of me all the time, that would be fine.

If you do this, it takes 5 minutes and works 99% of the time. You might have to fine tune, but probably not. You will be far happier if you aim the lights the way I described than to use the hit-or-miss method that you describe. Seriously, take the car behind the supermarket and put some tape on the wall. There is nothing worse for me than to have poorly aimed lights following me down the highway. This is even worse than poorly aimed lights coming at me, because the lights coming at me eventually pass, but the ones following me are there for a long time.

Aim against a wall if you do not have headlight aimers, then you can double-check your aim without the wall. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)
