Default HID Headlights Misaligned?

I was wondering if anyone have this problem or is it normal . I have MY05 NFR and when I turn my HID on, the left seems like it is aimed lowered than the right side. If you all have your HID on, take notice. If you're on a two lane street (or hwy) get on your right lane and check it out. Is there a headlight adjustment knob where I can aim the left side a lil' higher.

Anyone notice this at all??

This is normal. The right one aims higher to illuminate road signs easier.

There are adjusters on the headlamps, but you probably want to leave them alone.

And you can't adjust the offset out - it's built into a mask in both headlights.

I actually like to adjust the left side a little lower than the current level, so that I dont blind oncoming traffics.

You're on your second S2K and you didn't know this was normal?

I think people should be forced to read through the FAQs and pass a simple quiz before being allowed to post. Or only given access to the "Search" function for a week.

I agree, but the search function at s2ki is trash.
