Default Headlights out of whack

Just replaced my wife's 08 Wrangler with 08 Wrangler JK Unlimited. On the way home last night I was in front of her and noticed something different with headlights. Got home and pulled up to garage and noticed the driver headlight was horizontal, but the passenger headlight was vertical. Anybody had this issue before?

Like the bulb/lens is twisted? If so, you should be able to loosen up the ring that holds it in, and spin it until it is in the correct position. You will probably have to pull the front grill, but that is super easy, just a row of pop out clips along the top (under the hood), and then pull the grill forward until the other clips pop out.

Thanks. You were right. The assembly was twisted.
