If you have sealed beams now, you don't need electrical adapters.

For aiming I use the European 2% dip, so find a flat parking lot with a
building next to it - bricks or something with siding works we as you have
a horizontal reference point.

Park your van so it is 10m away
from the wall.� Measure distance from the center of the lights to the
ground and then measure where the "cut off" is on the wall - it
should be 2% lower.� 10m is 1000cm and 2% of 1000 is 20, so 20cm
lower than the center of your lights.� Other than that - make sure
they are the same distance apart and of course going straight ahead.
