Default Low Beam Headlight Adjustment

Got all the info to adjust the RT head light. I tried to re position the low beam bulb but it did not help. It seems to be positioned properly.

If I adjust the the RT light won't that also affect the high beam?

My only other idea is to unhook the lock bale on the bulb and hook the connector and move the light in the socket and see if that will help me find the correct position.

The RT low beam hits only a few feet from the car but the RT high beam is fine. Left low/high beams are fine.

Thanks

It really sounds like the bulb is mis-seated. I had the same problem until I adjusted the seating by hand with the clip loose and the headlights ON. It doesn't get hot, so go for it. When it hits the sweet spot-you'll know it!

The headlights are very finnicky. The bulbs must be aligned and seated properly.

Ok I noticed this yesterday playing with mine. The adjustment screw is cheap plastic. I wanted them as high as possible. Screwing out will move them up but I turned it too far and the plastic screw popped out. The end of the screw has a ball shape to it that fits into the housing that must have socket hole. To reseat it I had to screw it all the way in till it pops back in. Then screw it out but not too far or the ball will pop out again. Hope this helps.
