How to Aim Your Headlamps
And pictures of Sylvania SilverStar bulbs
Headlamp Aiming Guide:
Here is the guide that I used for my lights. It is from MCI (the bus manufacturer) but being as you take the measurements from the position of the lights it works just fine.

Since the camaros do not have the four individual lights, you only need to do the alignment for the low beams... the highs will be adjusted right when the lows are right. Basic jist of the alignment is at 25', the bright area of the lows should be just below the vertical center of the bulbs, and just to the right of the horiztontal center (so the lows point slightly to the passenger side and out of oncoming traffic). The beam cutoff should be right on the vertical center (so that no light is emitted higher than the bulb) With this, the Highs should be right on or slightly above the vertical center and right on the horizontal center (basically pointed straight out, and straight ahead). I found that my highs were almost completely unmeasurable, they were just a huge flood light and had no really noticeable hot spots... which is good for dark roads.
For the fogs, I aimed them so the top of the beam cutoff was at the vertical center of the bulb, so they are pointed down slightly. They have a pretty wide beam pattern, so that may still be too high for oncoming traffic but I haven't been able to find any reliable information about how to aim them them.

Factory Alignment. Slightly left, and 2.5 inches too high... This put my lows into HI BEAM territory. I feel sorry for anyone that drove in front of me on a highway at night. The third picture shows factory fog light aiming that is very low.
My Fog & Low Beam alignment: (they appear a bit low in this pic, that's due to the digital cam. not metering right. You can see the beam cutoff is right on the line, although the Silverstar bulbs seem to "bulge" a little bit in the middle.
And here is how they look on a dark road. (Note... these are Sylvania Silverstar bulbs).
Low Beam with Fog (You can see the fog spill over into the oncoming lane. I worry that the fogs might be a tad too high with this aiming, will have to test it sometime to see):
