    Halogen low beams fine but high beams are off

    Hoping someone can help me out. My low beams are adjusted perfect but the high beams are pointed right at the ground. It seems the highs are not adjustable separate from the Low. No idea what's going on.

    Yea if those are the OEM headlights, the high and low are not individually adjustable. Something has to be broken inside those headlights. Are they aftermarket?

    Interested in this as well.

    Mine was fine before removing the bumper for timing belt service and changing low beam bulbs... wondering if there was something with the bulb swap i missed?

    I've had some weird aiming when I didn't get that little tab on the base of the H7 lined up with the socket.

    Can you elaborate on this? Did you also notice a more scattered beam?

    Sure. It's a mess when the filament isn't in the right spot for the design of the reflector. Just take the cover off the back of the headlight and see if it's sitting in there correctly. If it's not the light will bounce off the reflector in a weird wayl
