1. remove your headlight.
2. unscrew the brown cover that holds your bulb or balast.
3. look at your balast or blub and check to see if it is flush against the housing.

sometimes the bulbs or blast will come lose on 1 side and hang low. Check the pastic clips and look for wear or broken clips.

4. check your lens. it may have come lose or broken.


All of those goodies are under that brown/tan cover located on the back of the headlight.

Also, if you pop open your hood and standing down, looking directly down on the headlight, if there are no wires obstructing your view. You can see a bolt/screw (behind the actual headlight unit) that you can adjust the pivot/aim of the head light and both fog light. You don't have to take the whole headlight out, but if you look directly down, you can see a slot with these triangle looking teeth thingy's (on top, facing you), you can use a phillips screw driver to adjust your headlights.

I i remember correctly, turning Clockwise will lower the aim, counter-clock wise will raise it.

I'll try to take pic if you can't spot it out.
