It measures the horizontalness of the headlight's aim.

Is that even a werd?

The thing in the pic is the adjustment meter for the left-to-right (horizontal) headlight adjustment. I have never touched that as long as I've owned my car. I only mess with the vertical adjustment.

whoa? then why are there 2 adjustments on each side of the headlights? height and width adjustments ? this is confusing.

One screw adjusts them up & down, the other adjusts them side-to-side. Every car I've ever known has had the same deal...
