I have a sheet of Masonite hardboard on which I've laid out vertical and
horizon centerlines for the headlights on my two Toyota Tacomas.  I have a
painted mark on the driveway to position the truck 25 feet from the gate,
and I lean the hardboard against the gate to check aiming when I'm running
a different load for a camping trip.  I have P-touch labels cut into
pointers for headlights and fog lights on the trucks.  The hardboard
leans against a garage wall when not in use.  Works great.

I'll be adding the TR3B's guidelines to that hardboard at some point this
summer.

with a bit of daylight still remaining.  Note the  small white labels
(barely visible) are for the main beam and fogs on one of my Tacomas.  This
is before I added the old truck to the hardboard.

I've used Daniel Stern's aiming guidance and the Toyota factory service
manuals for alignment settings.

park 25 feet from a wall, on level ground,  after dusk.  Drivers side 
headlight should be 4" below center, dead in front of the headlight.
Pass side should be 4" down and 4" to the right

My TR3B recently came back from some work that involved having the front
apron and headlights off the car.  I checked the headlights.  Ugh. Not even
close.
https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-66jhPmK/0/2d54dc90/X5/i-66jhPmK-X5.jpg

I'm going to try H4 LEDs to reduce the load on the generator, and I'll get
the vertical alignment taken care of then.

I just wait for night, find a car parked on a level street, park about 
20 feet behind it and adjust low beams so the top of the cone is just a 
little below the back window. So you won't be blinding the person in 
front of you by shining your lights at the rear view mirror. The right 
side should shine a little to the right enough so you can see 
pedestrians. The left should be pointed directly forward to minimize 
light blinding oncoming cars.
