I replaced my low beam Halogen bulbs with new LED bulbs. After replacement I noticed that my low beams are pointing too high. I am trying to understand what may cause this issue. Here are list of suspicions that I have:

1. Bulbs are pointing in opposite direction (possible fix: rotate/flip to 180 degrees)
2. While replacing the bulbs, configuration had changed and I need to readjust the height

Second case is pretty easy, since I found another topic on this website regarding to making adjustments.

But in first case, I might need to disassemble front of my car (take out bumper and shields) to get my bulbs out.

My question is how can I check/understand/recognize which one is the case and what would be the easy fix?

Regards,
Serik

The direction of the headlight can only be changed by changing the position of the housing. If you removed the housing or messed with any of the adjustment screws, that would have done it.
