I THINK THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN U INSTALL NEW LIGHT BULBS FOR U CAR(SUCH AS HYPER WHITES). IF ONE SIDE IS LIL' HIGHER THAN THE OTHER

TRY TO FIT THE HIGHER SIDE CORRECTLY.

YEA...THOSE ARE HELLA ANNOYIN..ONE ALL NORMAL THE OTHER ALL HIGH BEAMY [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

Open the hood and look at the braces that run across the tops of the headlights. These would be black painted steel. In each brace is an opening, or hole. Take a light and look down through that hole and you will see a white plastic disk with a hex socket in it. That is the adjuster. You can take the right allen wrench or a screwdriver and stick it through the opening and turn that white hex head. That will raise and lower your beams. I have had to do that every time I change bulbs because they all don't fit the same.

So just take a look with a good flashlight on top of the headlight housings and you should find that adjustment screw.
