One high beam problem (goes down)
My low beams work fine. My high beams also come on. When I put my high beams on the right beam raises but the left beam lowers.
If you adjust the beam hieght for the highs to match then the left low is way to high. First I thought the bulb had a filament issues and changed the bulbs. That did not fix it. The headlight lenses were corroded so I replaced the headlight lenses. That fixed nothing.
Any ideas?

Bulb upside down
it does behave like the bulb is upside down but it only goes in one way. It has three slots and one of them is at 12 o'clock in the lens. You cannot flip the bulb the other way unless I were to remove the tabs.

Wrong
Try moving them from one side to the other. I'll bet either your bucket is wrong or the wires are switched. Put the left bulb in the right bucket an the right bulb in the left bucket. I'll bet that you figure it out right away

the bulb is probably upside down and the tabs are wrong. Put the bulb in. The locking collar should line up with the notches in the bulb flange and the housings. Compare it to your other side light where it probably all lines up right. If it’s wrong, cut the tabs and line the notches on the bulb with the housing. The o-ring will hold it in position.
