Correct headlight pattern??

Hi all

I recently installed two OEM bi-xenon headlight assemblies. Does the light pattern in the picture below look correct? Should the light pattern of the lights be symmetrical? Or is the passenger side (US / right side) supposed to be a little higher and the left side a little lower like in the picture?

I'm not exactly sure how much to adjust the relative height on each side. Any guidance is appreciated!!

In the UK the light output usually lifts higher on the left side so you can illuminate the verge and hopefully spot the deer, child, blind fool, earlier. The right side is slightly lower to ensure you don't dazzle oncoming traffic. (Though it seems that modern SUVs are exempt from this rule :headbang: )
Assuming similar rules apply elsewhere then I'd guess they look about right.

By the way, did you know it took 50 German engineers to sort out the headlights on the Z4?

Because..................... wait for it................................many Hans make light work. :roll:
 
LOL!

Ok, that makes sense. I think you're right the light needs to be higher up on the right and lower on the left in the US.
