Default Brights on Headlights point to the sky

Whenever i turn the brights on they point upward and to the side, so basically everywhere but the road. How do you adjust that so they point at the road?

There'* two T15'* on the top of the headlight.

The inner controls vertical, the outer controls the horizontal.

Here'* how to aim them:

Put the car together.
Park on a level place (within .095*), with a wall 25 feet in front of the car. (gotta be exact, point directly at the wall)
Close all doors
Don't work on the car or have other things taken apart
1/2 tank or less of gas
Check proper tire pressure

On the wall you will see a bright area, this is what you're measuring.

The top needs to be 25.4" from the ground
1328mm between the center of the beams
664mm from the center of the drivers' beam to the center of the car.

Keep in mind brights don't really focus much. They spread light very evenly compared to low beams.

Were the bulbs recently replaced? It'* possible that they were installed incorrectly.
