No, silly, that's because there's shiny angled bits around where the bulb is, and the light reflects off those and so it appears that the lights are shining up really high. The light are shining properly, but bits of the beam are angled up by the shiny metal pieces in the housing.

Duh.

aren't they suppose to be higher...that's why they're called "high beams" and are supposed to make you see a little bit further than the regular lights?

Actually it's the weirdest thing... the thin light beams that reflect almost straight up are the Acura symbol. No joke, at least on the TL-S it is. I was driving through a neighborhood with trees overhanding and my fiance said, hey, that's cool, it makes the Acura "A" on the trees!! It does, check it out!!
