Hello,
I have a 06 Mazda 5. The car works fine in every regard except for the headlights. The brights work perfect and light up the road well, but the low beams are unusable. Very dim, and they seem to be too far down to the ground. What I first did is replace the crappy old bulbs with some Philips Racingvision H7 bulbs. Supposedly they are top of the line bulbs. However, the low beams are still unusable.
I then tried to align the beams. They looks very misaligned and too far down to the ground. I saw 2 Philips screws and moved them with my socket ratchet wrench, but the headlights did not change in any way. Like, they moved, but nothing happened. I hope they aren't stripped, I have no idea. I don't know what to do at this point, which is why I've posted this thread.
One other thing I should add is that I installed the right bulb fine, and the clip went on all the way. However, the left bulb's clip didn't seem to go on all the way. The bottom went on all the way, but the top did not. It still seemed secure in the housing, though, and the clip held in.
Thanks for the help, and look forward to solving this problem.
