Q: I need to adjust my high beams

asked by on May 14, 2017

My low beams both seem to point at the right angle, but when I switch to my high beams, the left one points outward like it's supposed to, but the right one points at the ground at the same spot as the low beam. The headlights are dual filament bulbs. How do i adjust the high beam upward without messing up the low beam?

My car has 70000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
