Default Aligning The Headlights Properly
Hey,

My friend who drove in front of me said one of my headlight beams is pointing higher than the other. What can I do to properly align both headlights?

Thanks!

Passenger headlight should be aimed a bit higher than the drivers side.

i guess i should restate that, the drivers headlight is aimed a bit lower due to the intensity of the headlights. It is aimed lower as to not blind oncoming drivers.

as it is on pretty much all cars. It's really just more obvious with HID headlights because of the sharp cutoff of the light pattern.
