Default Bright lights - how to fix?

I think my lights are blinding people in front of me even though they are on dim. A firend of mine asked the other day when I was driving behind him why I was brighting him. I told him I wasn't, but he said they seemed really bright. I don't have blue lights in or anything. But about a month ago one dim light went out so I changed both. So do you a) think I put the wrong lights in when I changed them? Like brights or something? Or b) are my lights pointing too high... if so how do I calibrate them?

Thanks!

probably b). you couldn't have put in the bright bulbs in without some type of mod to it, i.e. 9005 conversion. What type did you buy, regular halogens? or hyperwhite bulbs? To calibrate, there is a screw on the top near the headlights. Turn them and see which ways moves the beam down.

No, I didn't mod it at all. So I must have put the right replacements in. The bulbs were regular halogen not hyperwhite. I'll try moving the beam down tomorrow with that screw. Is there any guide to where they should be though or do I just eye it?

eye it, or use a garage door, park in front of it with your lights on and look at the beams and make them even with one of the lines from the door, or park in your garage and mark where they're at now and go up and down as needed.
