its suppost to be like that so it wont be in the oncomming traffics view. Its not much of a difference but it will take away light on the road if you point it more upwards.

there's a 8 or 10mm socket between the high and low beam bulbs. Twist and it should turn up and down depending on which way. Dont blind people tho!

yea its like a 8 or 10 milli bolt with a phillips center. if u had a shorty screwdriver u could adjust the light with that. while facing the car turn the screw to the left to aim up and to the right to aim down. just park on a flat surface with the beam point at a wall of sum kind. (back of supermarkets are great).
