Headlight lamps

Are the low beams the outer or inner lights? Mine are the inner and I have a feeling they are wired wrong.

High beams are the inner, low/high combo lamps outer. Not only are the lamps in the wrong positions but the buckets are also.

^^^THIS!. Someone assembled the core support incorrectly. The high and low beam bulbs have different locating keys to prevent installing them incorrectly. Actually, first question is, are the bulbs installed such that the lines in the lenses are parallel to the ground? If they are clocked at all, the buckets may be correct and someone just put them in the wrong places. If the lines are straight, then the buckets are in the wrong places. Note that there are FOUR different buckets, labeled A through D, since there are high beam and low beam and RH/LH for each one.
