how can u adjust them so they line up?

Mine were like that and i fixed it when i cleared my headlights, it just so happends that when I first replaced my blubs I bent the back piece the plugs into the blub and so it didn't sit right and so I just bent it back into place. Try that and see if that is the problem
What happened was when you put in your new headlight bulb, you didnt seat it correctly. this will give you an untrue beam pattern. reinstall your light and make sure it seats perfectly with no problems

That happens with new bulbs sometimes.
To adjust your headlights:
1. Open your hood (no do'h)
2. Look on the top of the headlight assembly... above where the light bulb goes in you will see this WHITE HEX shaped thing.
3. Stick a flat head screwdriver and start turning it... you will see your beam move up or down.
4. Adjust to desired level

Maybe...allthough I took my car to mr. tire to have my headlights aligned for my gunmetal headlights & I thought they would say something about them not having an orange reflector (which is illegal) but they didn't.
