    HEADLIGHT BULB ADJUSTMENT....Need your assistance.

    I must have touched something last night while changing my bulbs. One side is projecting the light at a different angle than the other one.
    How can I correct this? Does Corolla 03 has a lever or screw that allows us to change the angle? Please let me know.

    Yes there is a knob that you can either use a small driver for, or stick in a philips head screwdriver from the top into. Its on the back of the headlights, and the only metal sticking out of the plastic. However I have changed my bulbs no less than 10 times and have not noticed any angle differences. The car comes stock with the right headlamp pointed higher than the left, you just may have not noticed that before until you looked for it. Just leave it like it is since you get a better view of the side of the road without bothering traffic.

    When I look into the light from a close distance, both of them had the same brightness. However, the reflection of my light from a building window was different. Right side was not as bright as the left one. I first thought that building window surface was not smooth, but when my friend did it with his car, they both had the same brightness.
    I am not just imagining things. Everytime I see my light reflection off a car in front of me, I can clearly tell that right side is not as bright as the left one.

    Check the bulbs to make sure you put them in right too. When I first got my car i noticed that the passenger side aim was off. After looking at the bulb i realized that only 2 of the three teeth on the bulb were snaped in right, one was still above the thing that its supposed to be twisted down into. I removed the bulb and then installed it the correct way with all the teeth in place. This fixed the problem for me.
