Xenon headlight issue?
My left light sits much higher in where it projects, and they dont start at the same place and then change. Is it supposed to be this far off?

from what i know, the passenger side headlights are supposed to be a bit higher than the driver side. The driver side is lower as to decrease the glare emitted by the headlights to on coming traffic. But it's not very very far off. How far off are your headlights? can you park it against the wall and take a picture? So that we can see the alignment

shouldn't it be the other way around, high on the right low on the left for your logic to be true?

I think it depends on what country you're in if it's left hand drive or right hand drive. I don't know for sure, but it's just my theory . I almost sure i've read this somewhere that one side is supposed to be lower
