When I got home I stopped in front of my garage door and switched the lights from low to high several times. It is obvious that something is not right. The high beams are way off. In fact I thought the left one was burned out as I could not see it on the road at all. So this weeks project is to find the procedure to aim the lights. Here are a couple photos of my lights now. You can see how the left high beam is way too high.
I've been researching posts here today and I have read that many times the bulb is simply not seated correctly so I will try that first but I may look into brighter bulbs as well.
You do not have to unhook the spring, just rotate the bulb and socket, with a bit of luck you can feel it pop into the slot, hooking up the spring after getting the bulb in position is often the time the bulb moves out of alignment. That is what I have found anyway.
