Cover it with towel and tap it with your hand. I'm dead serious.

The way I did mine was the same as Manish Hawg. On my first ride with other bikes ahead of me it looked like to them only my left spot light was on and the right looked like it was off. That’s how bad the alignment was. They couldn't even see the headlight. It was also out of alignment.
The headlight I corrected as per. the owners manual but the right spotlight I used a tiny bit of muscle. I did it outside against the garage about 20 ft. back and I used a towel to cover the low beam headlight so I would only be looking at the alignment of the spot lights with no interference from the headlight. Took me a whole 3 minutes.
