Just installed Xtravision bulbs, but the beam is lower than stock?....

Do I have to reaim my headlight?...I installed an extravision bulb into the passenger side, and the beam projects lower than stock. The beam is noticeable brighter, but it's lower, so I was thinking about returning it. How can I fix this?..

I put the ExtraVision in my 95 and my girlfriends 99 Accord and did not have this issue. I would check to make sure its in correctly

Yes, I'd make sure it's in correctly first. If it is, then you can adjust the vertical aim to correct it.

I forget which screw it is..

Just park the car in front of a garage door or wall about 10 feet away and turn on the lights. Then adjust to match the other one.

get an ExtraVision for the driver side.....you will like the light. You may not have to adj...remember that the ExtraVision is not only 20% brighter but has a better light pattern....ie puts light on the road where you want it. get an ExtraVision for the driver side and see how it works (but check the pass side install).....you will like the light....with both bulbs the same.
