Default High beams

2001 ES300, installed new stock high beam bulbs. Light shines just in front of car not down the road like my other cars do. Are the aim of the highs adjustable? Regular lights are just fine. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, the low beam adjustment affects the high beams directly. Are your headlight level bubbles zeroed in?

the high beam and low beam cancel each other out. so if u adjust one, it will affect the other. park your car on a level surface and aim!
