2002 Explorer Headlights

Hi Everyone! This is my first post here.

Due to unfortunate problems with a new set of bulbs, I was forced to replace both headlight assemblies on my truck. Ever since I replaced the headlight assemblies, oncoming drivers have been flashing their high-beams at me. So I figured there was a pretty good chance my headlights are no longer aimed correctly.

My headlights currently look like they point to the right when viewing them at night. I can see a distinct headlight pattern on the ground when viewing at night as well. Is this pattern normal?

Would anyone be willing to help me correctly aim my headlights? I would prefer to do it myself. Any photos/illustrations of your 2002-04 Explorer's headlights would be appreciated. Thanks!
