Adjusting your HIGH Beams

After recent rapairs to my driver side front end (which included replacing the entire left headlight, high beam & turn signal assembly) ... the High Beam light on that side is not aligned ... and the High Beam light path is now pointing towards the ground. Does anyone know how to adjust it ... or is it back to the dreaded dealer?

I believe it is just in the manual, very simple to do.

Is your HID lowbeam misaligned as well? If not, check if they put the high beam bulb in properly because the bulb could be sitting funky causing only the high beam to be off.

Nothing in the Manual, other than take it back to the dealer for adjustments.

Both low beams are good, no problem. Just the high beam on the left side is pointing about 10-12" lower than the right side.

I measured it by pulling up within 2 feet of my garage door last night ... then with and without the high beams on. I'm thinking that the new high beam is just not installed correctly, perhaps up-side-down, or as the previous response said something pushing or leaning on it from behind.

FYI...you CANNOT adjust the high beam & lowbeam SEPERATELY. If one is aligned and not the other than 1 of them is installed wrong.
