How old is the car?
Are the lenses foggy?
When was the last time you changed the bulbs?
Is your alternator up to par?
I'm here too late. Those are the three that crossed my mind.

seriously, you didn't think to re-aim them already?
While you're at it, check your blinker fluid and your muffler bearings.

I really had no idea that headlights could be adjusted before I needed it... I seriously had went out and bought expensive bulbs trying to fix the problem... did everything.
It was me crying about almost dying from driving that someone fixed it in like 10 minutes... seems kind of stupid now but I really had no idea.

This is why basic auto mechanics should be required to get a license. Even the richest of richy rich people sometimes are stuck and have to do things for themselves on their vehicles.
Everyone should know how to add fluids, check tire pressure, aim headlights, change a wiper blade, start a flooded car etc. preferably know how to jack up a car and change a tire too... but it would probably be asking too much.

Is that even basic maintenance? I really assumed they pointed straight and that was the end to it... I am sure my truck was messed up from something too. Just seems a little too harsh for something that seems to rarely/ever to happen.
I have learned how to do everything you listed by myself... and I would not let my kid drive around if they could not change a tire.

It is the headlights not being aligned right, because so many idiots don't know how to do it.
