You do not say if the high beams are also too low.
I think 90% of the light problems stem from the bulb positioning in the headlight, the tab is at the top for the high beams and at the bottom for the low beams. What seems to be the correct position is often not quite correct, I have had that problem myself.

If the car has had a crash then the whole mounting may be bent, I hope not for your sake.
Thanks for your response. The high beams are shining low as well, they actually make the perfect low beam, I could pull the low beams and use the highs in their place and it would suffice. Would use them anyway but people tend to spaz out when they see 4 bulbs coming at them, even though the low beams are hunting for crawfish. I see no ready evidence of a frontal crash so I hope I'm good there. I will definitely go through everything again just to make sure it all is correctly installed. Thanks for the advice and help.
