I recently replaced my fogs,hi's and low's. The lights are really bright but the drivers side shines ALOT lower and to the right than the passenger side. I have read that this is built into the design of the corvette headlights. I only replaced the bulbs and did not adjust the lights at all. It really is irritating and I may put the original bulbs back into the low beams. Does anyone know a fix for this. If I adjust it up, then the driverside hi beam will be shining into the treetops.

I replaced mine with HID and if you have one that is really low I would check and make sure the bulb is seated correctly, It took me 3 trys to get the bulb in the right way, I am willing to bet this is your prob... Both of mine are the same with no adjustment at all.

Thanks guys, tonight I pulled up closely to the garage door and fidled with it until it seated properly. When it seated the headlights matched perfectly! I guess thats why we should continually research and not take "one" thread as gospel. I read that it was designed ionto the corvette that way. Man, I was soo close to getting rid of these lights, they are awesome, thanks again.......
