Help with a new headlight assembly

I recently had my headlight assembly replaced on my drivers side. I got the stock bulbs in and everything is fine. However when I put in some new Sylvania bulbs the driverside light seems to be angling down. I checked to make sure the bulbs were placed in there fine. I even swapped out the left and right bulbs thinking that maybe it was a defective bulb to no success. Any clues on this one? I really want to have my sylvania's in cause I hate my stock bulbs.

Thanks in advance

James

The head lamp housing might not be all the way attached or it may need adjusting.

Or was the bulbs not wanting to go into the housing?

Thanks for the reply. The lights are in correctly as are the headlight assemblies. It just seems that the angle is wrong only with those lights and not the stock ones.

No matter what bulb is in there, after you remove the HL housing this can knock them out of adjustment.

Plus the bulbs you installed have a much bright and larger area of brightness.

xero

Thanks for the advice thus far. I was looking at the bottom of the new assembly and noticed a black knob. Does that need to be adjusted at all?
