A few problems with my headlights
Okay, so I've had a few problems with my headlights lately. They are:
1. My lights are very dim. I just bought new headlights that are bright on other cars, but not on mine. Could it be the angle that they're at? They do look like they're angled pretty low and my drivers side looks like it's angled further to the right than it should. How would I fix the angle of them?
2. When my lights are on dim, both lights work, but when I turn on the brights, only my drivers side works. What could be causing that?
I think that's all of my problems. I don't know a whole lot about cars since my ex-boyfriend did everthing for me, so try to dumb things down so I can understand.
Thanks for your help guys!

There are two adjusting screws behind the headlight assembly.

Did you replace the bulbs? It sounds as either the high beam filiment is burnt, or there could be a wiring issue.

Re: A few problems with my headlights (Art In Motion)
man, it could be your connection. i had one light brighter than the other...(just replaced both with the same new bulbs) so i fucked around with the thing....got all this gunk and **** off of the pluk...works just fine now. ya...there are two adjusting screws behing the thigh....use a phillups screw driver and turn it either way till you get em right, they also have a level in some lights that let you know if they are level or not

Thanks for the ideas. I'll check it out tomorrow night. I hope it's not wiring, I don't know how to fix that at all. Thanks again
