Default Headlight install

After changing the headlight bulbs(all 4) I noticed tonight that the right high beam was searching the ground for roadkill. As all I did was unplug then plug. How/what did I mess up? Is it possible to put the light in crooked and cause it to be low? Thanks for burning me up . In addition, does anyone have the part number for the HID lights? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Default Re: Headlight install (acepilot)

I was taking a look at my stock headlight bulbs the other day and had the same problem. :( After taking the bulb out and replacing it, the bulb did not fit snug and caused the aim to be way off. I took the bulb out again and bent the little clips that are suppose to hold it snug in the assembly. I then replaced the bulb and everything was good again. :)

If you wish, I can give up you more details of this "5 minute turned 2 hour" project. :rolleyes:
