"Looking at it?" No, I shouldn't think so... "looking a tit" ... like looking like a fool, looking like an idiot, etc. Otherwise, could be a typo.

Actually, both headlights have a staggered beam - its in each lens to be lower on the left side - if you move the car closer to a wall you'll see each beam separate, but the stagger is still there - the right beam isn't higher - they are in fact the same height.

I HATE that they are uneven. But i get the fact that they need to be this way as to not blind other drivers so i just deal with it lol.. I hope the body shop fixes it back right...

Wow, I've never noticed this with my AP2...With the HID's on in the garage it looks level to me on both sides.

Why? You could lower the right hand one if you feel that OCD but you'll lose some visibility on the right hand side and lose a bit of response time when some critter decides to jump out into the road...

What about using a bulb from a right hand drive S? If the cutoff is higher left and lower right... Just replace your left bulb with a left bulb from a right hand drive S. Then you would have an even cutoff.
