There are adjusters on the side and top of the headlamp assembly. Usually a phillips screw. Adjust up or down and side to side with these adjusters. Some cars even have a level built on the headlamp assembly. Get the bubble within the two lines
Take your car and park it 10 ft from a wall or a building, now take a tape measure and measure 36 inch's from the ground up and draw a line so its the same width as your car front end , turn on your head light and see if center of your lights our hitting the line you just drew , if not adjust them until they do. The right side should be just to the right a bite and the left one straight a head .
The problem is probably your switch assembly on the column. When you pull in to go to brights they go out right? I ahd the same problem and replaced the whole unit on the column.

1. Turn the headlamps ON and select the LOW beams for vehicles in all markets except Japan. Vehicles for the Japanese market should have the headlamp HIGH beams selected. 2. Insert a screwdriver through the outboard clearance hole (1) in the front lamp unit cover (2) to rotate the headlamp vertical adjustment screw on each front lamp (3) to adjust the beam height as required. 3. For export markets only, insert a screwdriver through the inboard clearance hole in the front lamp unit cover to rotate the headlamp horizontal adjustment screw on each front lamp to adjust the beam right or left as required.
I suggest that you make a test of the proper height of your lights, before you attempt an adjustment.
This can be accomplished by driving your Mazda up to within 10 FT of a blank wall. Next take a piece of masking tape and tape it to the wall at a height of 30 inches. Put your headlamps on - on low beam - the lights should shine on the tape.
The adjustment screws/nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly,
behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail by the radiator
support.
You will have vertical adjustment screws for each independent beam
(separate highs and separate lows, but will be same screw if highs and
lows are the same bulb). You may also have additional horizontal
adjustment screws as well
Park
your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height
from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams
and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same
bulb, only do it for the lows)
For Low Beams: If the headlights read VOR, then
aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall.
If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.
For High Beams (if separate from low beams): Aim the headlight directly at the line you marked on the wall.

You should have two plastic nuts on each headlamp assembly, one will be for your high beams and one will be for your low beams.
The nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly,
behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail (might see holes in your rail above the headlamp unit where the screws are hidden)
