Default Headlights problem? (not sure)

Hey guys, I've had my Crossfire for 3 weeks now, and have just noticed something while driving home late tonight. It looks as if my right head light is "pointed" higher than the left. It's only very slight, but when you are going up a good size hill, you can definitely notice it along the road. My friend even noticed it when he was in the car with me. It doesn't cause me to see any less, just looks weird. Is this something I should have a dealership look at? Or is it something I may be able to fix myself? I really don't know much about how the headlights on this car are designed.

Thanks,
DetroitHokie

Even though you're not a DIY mechanic, you can adjust the lights very easily without tools. I would recommend downloading the repair manual online here and looking it up, you may have fun knowing more about your car.

Do a forum search on REPAIR MANUAL or SERVICE MANUAL.

the right headlight should be pointed slightly higher than the left... that way you can see far and still not blind traffic in the opposing lane... in fact many projector systems have a slant cut because of this starting at the left and going higher towards the right...

Yep. It's supposed to do that. To quote Microsoft: "That's not a bug. It's a feature."

I kinda understand why the right is pointer higher, just looked weird the first time I saw it. Thanks for all your help guys!

I believe if you go by the service manual you will find that you adjust the left slightly higher so with someone in the left seat the are even. So if there are two in the car the left will be the high one. Check the manual.
