02 Avensis dipped headlights very high and bright.

Hi. I just got stopped by the cops because my headlights are too bright. He thought I had fulls on. I had a look myself and it's true they are ridiculously bright when dipped and are probably blinding everyone on the road. I am driving an '02 Toyota Avensis. The thing you turn if you have something heavy in the boot does nothing. The lights don't move. I found a blue fuse down in the footwell on the drivers side that had come loose a while back but could find where it was from. I don't know if it's related. Where would you start to look if you had this problem?

tl;dr my dipped headlights are very high and bright.

It could be that the bulbs are not put in correctly or it could be that they need to be adjusted down. There is a switch inside on the dash to do this but sometimes they need to be adjusted manually from under the bonnet.

The fuse wouldn't really have anything to do with this issue, unless it's stopping the adjuster from working, doubtful though.

Think I have it sorted now. One of the bulb clips wasn't seat correctly. Thank you guys
