New headlamps & Alignment
 
I recently replaced one of my dead headlamps (and other side as well) with a set of Philips CrystalVision 4000K's. Below are comparison pictures with the new bulb (left) compared to the older one (right). I like the way they turned out. Theyre very bright, but not obnoxious ricer wannabe blue.

Now, I noticed that they werent aligned to match each other. Is this something so that one can spot things on the side of the road whereas the other is lowered slightly so as not to blind oncoming traffic? Just wondering.

Thanks!

No you need to Adjust them to be Even.

Even... really?? i like it like this. many new cars come with slight higher aim on right than on left side...thats what i did to my ride. Also i need to put in new brighter/bluer bulbs..how much was your Philips CrystalVision 4000K's and where did u get it from

Did you have to remove the front bumper cover to replace the headlamp assemblies??How did you remove the bumper cover ?? I need to replace my drivers side headlight assembly also.
