Unhappy Headlight shadow question

Ok am I the only one who notices this that when you turn on your headlights that it's it looks like there's a straight edge hovering over it? It's like a flat horizon towards the front. My car is salvaged so I don't know if that's normal. It looks like -----\______/------- when it's on.

Thanks you.

Except it should look more like ____/-_-_-_/-------

um, nevermind. That doesn't really look right

Anyway, it's lower on the left and higher on the right with a little overlap in the middle.

It looks like your left HID is not aiming in the same level as your right... or vise versa.

Thanks! I thought my HIDs were broken because I also saw spider lines on the left HID while I'm driving.
