Need Help aiming headlights
Need help.
I have noticed that my hi and low beams on the passenger side don't seem to align even close with the direction the driver's side beams aim.
I've tried to follow the aiming procedure in the service manual, but ran across a very strange problem. The procedure in the service manual tells you to aim only the low beams. I assume the hi and low beams are fixed relative to each other because there is only one vertical adustment screw and one horizontal adustment screw (I think). If I aim the low beam so it is vertically the same height (shining on the garage door), the high beam aims WAY higher than the driver's side. 
If I adjust the high beams the same, the low beam aims WAY lower than the driver's side. 
I recently replaced my bulbs with aftermarkets and thought I might have accidentally got one or the other in crooked, but after removing and reinstalling, they seem to be seated properly.
Has anyone else ever experienced this? Am I missing something basic here?
