A couple of weeks ago I installed new bulbs for my 02 celica. The problem is, that the left headlight has the light beaming toward the right side instead of the center. Is there a way to adjust the headlight in the horizontal direction. Also with the new install I noticed something strange. It is like lens flare when I pull up next to a garage. I'll try to post pics within this week. It is hard to explain in words. I hope this is easy to correct. But any help is appreciated. Sorry if the spelling is not right.

You don't ajust the individual bolbs, so i'd say you somehow nocked the entire headlight assembly out of alighnment when you installed the bolb. Not exactly sure how the headlights are ajusted, but there's usually a couple of screws that can be turned differnt directions to ajust them.

Looks like lens flare. Stock light bulbs were not like this :(

The passenger side headlight is aimed higher than the driver side to light up signs better. That's probably what's causing the lens flare in the "front 2" pic.

It's the same thing that makes the headlight beam pattern look off in "Lights 2". It was always like that, but the new bulbs you put in aren't as bright, so you see the space in between the beams more easily.

I was talking about the two or three projected images of the lens in the first pic. I've never saw that. Maybe I put the bulbs upside down...

Oh, that just means the bulb's geometry is off. I had blue bulbs like that before, and couldn't see anything (way too blue). It happens with lower quality bulbs. It's just the way they're made. Those wouldn't happen to be from Hiper Industries, would they?
