The pic shows the projector point way to the right and down low. It basically brightens the sidewalk.

The driver's side is pointing straight or normal.

Passenger headlight projector tilted to the right and pointing down.

The driver's side is fine. Bad Headlight level sensor? Also the green indicator light on the headlight switch when set to Auto keeps blinking.

Thanks.

Is your rear seat recline switch on the side panel working?

Mine is not.

It works from the tailgate however. It is a blown fuse? If so, where is that located?

Thank you.

Is your oil pan gasket leaking?

Mine is and I can smell oil inside the cabin when the heater is on at a stop light. It's not something I want to tackle. It's also expensive at my local shop. Any stop leak additive that can help?...
