tips for aiming headlights

I just go out on the road at night and find a level spot. Then adjust the lights to where I like them.

Wrong way to do it. Not even close to acceptable.

I have always been a proponent of not one size fits all.

That's fine in things like ice cream flavours and car paint colours and oil filter brand and choice of carburetor, radio station, and shirt, but not in headlamp aim. For any given headlamp mounted at any given height, there is ONE (and only one) correct aim setting.

I must be doing something right because oncoming vehicles don't flash their lights at me

That is not a reliable gauge of headlamp aim.

and I can see just fine.

Don't be so sure. The human visual system is a lousy judge of its own performance, especially under the conditions (called "mesopic vision") of night driving. It is very easy to create situations in which we think/feel we can see a lot better or not as well as we actually can.

By-guess-and-by-gosh methods like yours are just plain not good enough, full stop.
