Default How Do I Aim My High Beams?

I know how to aim the lights in general. Where to do it, marking, measuring, etc. There is plenty of information out there. What I can't find, is how to properly aim the high beams. Are they supposed to match the target of the low beams, only brighter? Or are they supposed to be X inches higher? Or something else?
thanks in advance

I'd check the chassis manual, it should have detailed directions. Typically, the low beams are aimed lower and slightly to the right (away from on-coming traffic) relative to the high beams.

I've attached the SM section that describes how to aim the headlamps.

Park your car 10 feet away from another vehicle at night. Have someone sit in the other vehicle. When they are blinded your lights are adjusted correctly.
