mine is just like hers.
it's supposed to be offset slightly so as not to blind drivers travelling in the opposite direction.

I got mine like that and when I got the aftermarket HID's it still looked the same even when the headlights where aligned.

Question.!
Some ******* hit into my front right lights, but HID's still working. So they were never replaced under insurance. Then now at night, left ones look so damn bright compared to right. But standing outside the car, they look like theyre working perfectly, blinding.
However, on the road the left ones just dominate the right.
Is there a way to fix this? Is it due to the bulb dying out or the crystal globe screwed?

Mine has that pattern. From the dealership it was flat, but then I got into a bump. When they re-adjusted, they set it this way. I don't really care. My dad always told me that the passenger side should be a little higher than the driver side beam.

Ive got the Z also.....and I agree...it makes sense that the driver side is a little lower for the oncoming traffic....still they give me 180 degrees of light....Im happy with their performance.

Oh goody. For a while, I thought I was just the only one. I'm glad that this is normal.
