Hello, I have a 2010 Camaro, the lights needed replacing so I am installing new bulbs, however, when I was trying to install them the little tabs broke off and will be buying another set. but when I put the original back in, the lights don't seem to be even, one higher than the other when pointed to my garage door. are they supposed to be that way or are they supposed to be even?

thanks again...Mjclemm

Aligning your headlights is a section in the owner's manual somewhere. Trying to remember if it said they're supposed to be even or not.

They should be even. If the tabs are broken on the housings or bulbs then the bulbs won't seat correctly and the focal point will be off. Until you can fix the tabs the aim won't stay put.
