    Google for instructions on it. I found instruction for my E34 a few months ago. Very easy to do yourself. The car was NCT'd just after I aligned them and they were bang on.

    On the E34, park the car 10m from a vertical surface. Measure the height above ground to the centers of the four lights and distance between them.
    Transfer these measurements to the wall.
    The main beam hot spot should be centered on the measurements, and the intersection of the angle on the cutoff for the low beam should be 12cm below the measurement.

    I imagine the E39 is the same
