i could be wrong but from the photos i've seen of the headlamps taken apart, the highbeam and lowbeam reflectors are connected as one piece. so the adjustment screws on the back would move both reflectors simultaneously.

in other words, you can't aim one w/o screwing up the other.

No, you can adjust each one independant of the other. When you use the high beams, both highs and lows are on.

Sounds like you want to use the high beams as driving lights.

If that is the case, have you tried the 9005 conversion?

Are your high beams too high to be useful or are you doing it to have driving lights?

If you're doing it to have driving lights, go to AutoZone and spend $30 on a set and install it yourself. Trying to look cool with your headlights aimed straight down and sacrificing safety isn't cool.

Yeah, if you search, you'll find the info on it. You basically just cut off some tabs on a 9005 (high beam) bulb so it will fit on the connector for the low beam. So basically you just get a bit brighter bulb in the stock low beam housing. I've had mine like this for a couple years, works great.
