DRL alignment issues

I went ahead and put my stock OEM 9005 bulbs back in for the DRL/High beam. But for some reason the alignment looks off. When reflecting the DRL light/highbeam against the wall the passenger side looks higher than the driver side. I look inside the housing in the passenger side the bulb looks like its pointing down. And on the drive side the bulb looks like its straight in. I checked to see if they were screwed in correctly and they seem like they are. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks in advance.

sounds like the bulb did not seat correctly when you installed it. try removing it and reinstalling it.

I tried that it and it feels like its sitting right because when I put the bulb in and twist the bulb and housing locks into place. And it seems like it can only sit one way. I will try again and hopefully I can have it sit another way so that the bulb is straight. Thanks takehold66

Have one car with this issue. It's not that bad, and I'm too lazy to fix it.

I see. I eventually got it to sit right and they are both even now.

All I did was make sure the bulb sat right in the housing and looked center in the headlight instead of pointing down. Then I twisted clockwise.
