are your headlights oxidized? check that out, it might be tour problem. they are oxidized if they are a dull yellow or white, and you ant see the projector clearly.

very frequently the headlights aren't aimed properly. If they were ever replaced after an accident, they probably weren't aimed by the collision center and they don't come properly aimed.

Park 10 ft. in front of a wall and measure how high up the wall the line of the headlights reaches. Check your owners manual, I'm thinking it's supposed to be somewhere like 24" or 26" high off the ground. There is a phillips screw on the back of the headlights you need to turn to adjust the height of the headlights

Here is instruction for adjusting headlights:

Post #4 has details as to height

Also, I'm pretty sure Adjuster #1 controls the height and Adjuster #2 controls the side-to-side (shouldn't have to mess with the lateral adjustment, just height)
