lighting

I had my left headlight replaced when my 94 camry was in a accident. Now the beams of the lights aren't lined up correctly. Like at night when I turn my lights on, the light beam on the left is higher than the other. When I look at the lights themselves they look straight. It's not that big of a problem but it's kinda annoying. Does anyone know what's wrong and how I can fix it?

there's 2 screws on the headlight, they move the beam up and down, side to side,

pull up to a wall and align them properly!

Yup i always turn one down as far as it will go to find the puddles and the other up as high as it will go to assist the airport in finding the planes.

Naw correct adjustment is to have them level or just under level. You can see the cutoff if you park along a wall with the wall to your left. Then stand in front of one headligt then the other to get the up/down right. I then park about 30 M perpendicualr to the wall ans turn on the highbeams to adjust the lights left to right.

I never have read any manuals on if this is correctly but I have been using halogen lights since about 1981 and I seem to get good vision and no one flashes me on the highway so it can't be that far off.
