Sorry to bring up an old thread, I need help.

I'm not mechanically inclined, so I got my Headlight bulbs installed. My only complaint is, the way the lights aim are not the same. It looks a little low. How can I adjust the lighting of the aim until I feel its proper? Thanks for your time and help.

Your driver's side headlamp is supposed to be a little lower than the other so you don't blind oncoming traffic.

Your dealer can adjust them for you but changing the bulbs won't change the alignment. They should still be at the factory setting.

If you download the factory repair manual, there is the procedure for properly aiming your lights in there but if you aren't mecahnically inclined enough to change the bulbs, I'd suggest letting your dealership do it.

That might be true, but I park my car the same spot every night. I notice the aim was a little lower then it was before.Perhaps it was the bulbs I purchased. I just might put back the OEM bulbs. If that doesn't work, I"ll just bring it back to the dealarship.
