Default need help on headlight/daytime lights

A few months ago, had the dealer install a new low beam headlight on the driver side because it had burnt out. Noticed later , (too much time had passed), when I drive into my garage that the headlight aim was up too high based on the way it shone into the wall. I've had on occasion someone to flip their high beams at me indicating that this light is indeed shining in their eyes/ not aligned right/whatever. I thought it was just the low beam aim but I noticed last week when I drove into the garage without my low beams on that the daytime lights that are on all the time was also higher than the other side too. It's telling me that the whole assembly on the drivers side is too high or that something is not fitting in correctly after the dealer did their install of the low beam light. Any ideas how to fix or what is going on ? Thanks so much for any help.

You should check to see if the entire headlight is not sitting properly where it's supposed, or is misaligned. If the headlight unit is not physically out of place, you can always adjust your headlight aim. It tells you how to do it in your manual or you can find some DIYs on how to do that on here. Basically, there's just two screw/ **** things per lowbeam that you got to turn to adjust it. It's not too tough.

Good luck!
