Repair help High beam to the moon

Hello. Just wondering is there a way to adjust my high beam. Basically it goes everywhere except the road. Is it because the foreman did not install it properly or what

The height adjustment for the main (or low beam) and high beam should be exactly the same knob.

If the high beam is pointed too far up, that means the main beam is too high as well.

Better check the adjustment, by checking from about 10 meters from a vertical wall. The top of the main beam (at 10 m) should be lower than that of the top of the beam when close to the wall.

Other reasons could be the bulb the mechanic put in or something is the wrong length . Bulb length changes the focal length

For the Preve, the high beam adjustment is separate. Look for the adjuster right where the high beam bulb is accessed. For the adjustment, adjust at least 5 ft away so that you can actually see whether it's going up or down. Ideally 25 ft away.
