High Beams.. one goes up, one goes down??

I don't know what the hecks going on, but when I turn my high beams on, my drivers side headlight beam goes way the hell up in the air, and then the passenger side goes way the hell down onto the ground, making the high beams worthless as I can't see crap with them on, only low beams I can see well in.

the thing is, the low beams as far as I can tell are aimed perfect, its just when I turns on the high beams when my headlights seem to go insane every which way.

how is is, low beams are okay, but high beams aren't? I only got one bulb in the headlight that does both high and low, and as far as I can tell the low beams are aimed perfect.

whats going on here?

Hey Neighbor!!
Im having problems with my new bulbs too. When I pull my turn signal towards me, the brights are great.... but when I push the lever in to keep the brights on, the headlights go off but the brights go on.
Everything was fine until I put in these damn NOKYA 7000K Artic Whites. I hate 'em, they were a birthday present from my brother.

Sorry for my stupidity. For some reason I never realized that until I put in these crappy new bulbs. Oh well, I still hate these bulbs though, they're not very bright!!
