Default Need help with headlight

So I changed the gear because it was bad and I put the headlight back on but wen I turn my lights on the headlights goes down and vise versa honestly don’t know what I did wrong and when it goes “down” it doesn’t go fully down

Default Linkage might be on backwards

I did the same thing on the passenger side and reattached the linkage to the shaft but I did it 180 degrees backwards. Probably have to remove linkage and put it on 180 degrees from where you have it now. Look at the other side for guidence.

I agree. Sounds like you may have the linkage arm backwards.
