Default Head light question

I have an '02 and is there a way to adjust the lights? One of my brights aim at the ground the other in the sky and my regular lights aim to the right. Any help would be great. Just put new bulbs in it.

If the light pattern with your old bulbs was fine, and is now messed up with the new bulbs you most likely have them improperly installed. You probably have at least one of the three bulbs tabs outside the socket base or bulb has not been tightened completely into the socket, this will make the bulbs light pattern project at an angle through the lense. They need to be inserted into each of the three tab slots correctly before tightening them into the base.

Also, there is no individual adjustment for high and low beam within each headlamp assembly. Those adjuster control side to side, and up and down for the entire headlamp.
