It is quite simple to adjust these lights

Find a level parking lot next to a building.  Park your Van so the
headlights are 25' away from the wall.  Turn the low beams on.  The light
pattern, and please excuse my ASCII is something like:

__/  __/

at the "bend" in the light pattern should be 2" lower than the center of
your lights on the Vanagon and the same distance apart.  Some people say 3"
lower but I use 2" and none of the oncoming cars seem to mind my lights.
