Default Pic request, HID beam pattern on wall

I was wondering if anyone had a pic of the beam pattern of stock HID on a wall. Im trying to adjust the headlights, but Im lowered and it hard getting an ideal height. I didnt bother to look at what the pattern was before I started and the UTH faq thread drawings do not seem right. They show the left and right pattern being even, but that makes my driver side seem to high.

Driver-side should be just a tad-bit below the passenger.

LEFT is always lower than the right... i guess that way you dont blind the oncoming traffic..

Thanks freq.

Thats what I thought, but when you look at the lights dead on, and start bending down, the driver gets brighter first indicating its higher.

That and I did the whole 25ft away measure center headlight and 2.1" down of the lowest point of the beam on the wall and the lights still seam to be aimed up. While driving down the highway I can see the beam on the dividing barrier angling up.
