aiming headlights
hello...
I need help adjusting my headlights I replace my passenger side headlights and driver side was aim high I always got flash with my high beam...
this what I got now
I drove around with my low beam but I can't see much drive me nuts than I put high beam I see whole entire road but I get flash by other drivers...
I follow the DIY but man is confusing I been trying find good video but nothing so far make any sense... can someone post step by step better than DIY cause I don't get the tape measuring way or at least someone has video or something...

High beams are supposed to be high enough to blind anyone in front of you, that's why there are low beams. Adjust the low beams so you can see reasonably well and use them whenever there is traffic. The high beams will take care of themselves. Always adjust headlight aim on the low beam setting.
You can't tell anything about aim being right next to a wall. Get on a level surface in a dark area and look at what they do 50 or 100 feet out in front of the car. You can unplug one bulb or stand in front of one headlight so you see only where the other one is shining in order to adjust them independently.
Also the low beams should point to the right slightly so as not to get in the eyes of oncoming drivers (who are usually on your left).
