Do your headlights do this?

Default Do your headlights do this?

Pardon my crappy MS Paint drawing, but do your headlights make a staggered line or are they straight across? I was thinking of adjusting my left lamp up to match the right.
Image you were shining your lights on a wall 10 ft ahead in the pic.

As far as I know, the driver's side lamp is intentionally aimed lower than the passenger's side lamp. I would not suggest aiming the driver's side lamp higher as you will be blinding the crap out of oncoming traffic and getting highbeamed a lot.

They are aimed like that so that it is not so intense on other drivers passing you.

Its funny because from day one of owning mine. The headlights have lit up the exact opposite way. The high side is on the drivers side and then descends. And ya, I do get highbeamed quite often. I've gotten to the point where if someone highbeams me I just blind the hell outta them with my highs for a second.

What a relief! I've always wondered about this, too. It would be too much of a coincidence for them all to be $%$#! up, so it must be the uncoming driver thing. James II, yours must have been originally going to UK
