Default Headlight "Flashing"

HELP!!!

My son's drivers side headlight seems to "flash" people's rearviews and drives them crazy. Whenever my son is following some of his friends it bothers them like mad. I drove in front of him tonight and I finally saw for myself what he was talking about. Passenger side is fine, but definitely get "flashed" by his drivers side every 50 feet or so. I have Silverstars in if that helps.
Aiming problem? I think I had Ford aim them for me last time I had car in but I cant remember. I know I tried aiming them using the wall method back when we installed the Silverstars couple months ago.

Suggestions? Experiences?

Thanks in advance everyone.

I have silverstars in mine and I had to aim mine WAY down. People would ALWAYS get pissed and get behind me and ride their brights., or flash me when oncoming.

Its easy, theres a phiips head nut that you get in with a big screwdriver and turn on top of the headlight. very simple.

Thanks for the reply, I know about how to aim them but wasnt sure if the flashing problem from only one side was because of this. Thanks for the help though. Anyone else? Confirm?

Mine flashes people on the passenger side but the plastic reflector inside the headlight is loose, so it shakes and moves, kind of funny sometimes. lol

Well I adjusted the drivers side down a couple 3 turns and we test drove it. It stopped flashing with the drivers side... All is well I think. Thanks for helping an old man out you guys.
