Default I think my left headlight is angled way too low

I know that the driver side headlight is supposed to be angled down, but it is about 6in. lower than the right when I am four feet away from a wall. Also, it is not nearly as bright. Can I adjust this somehow or do I have to take it to the dreaded dealer. If I can adjust it, can someone please tell me where to adjust and which way to screw (I am assuming its a screw) Thanks

Default Do you have xenon or halogen headlights? ...

Each is adjusted somewhat differently. Suggest you also read the article in the enclosed link.<ul><li><a href="http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/aim/aim.html">Readme</a></li></ul>

Default halogen...thanks that helps, but if I get eye level with the lights at their brightest points...

the right seems much brighter. Is the left supposed to be more dim as well as angeld down?

Mine is the same so I would assume so. The left is definitely stepped down.
