does your left headlight aim lower than the right?
Does your left headlight aim lower than the right? I know projectors have a beam pattern ____/------- but after getting my car back from the bodyshop, my left headlight points significantly lower than the right, so much so that I can see two distinct beam patterns even less than a few feet away from my garage door. When I pull up behind a car, only the right headlamp hits the body of the car.
It's hard for me to judge because I was driving for about a month with my left headlight pointed literally at the ground from a parking collision. I don't remember what my halogen oem lights looked like before then.
I'll take pictures later tonight when its darker..

I can try some photos tonight, but mine do not quite look like yours. You have a staircase Z pattern, mine is more like a double V pattern.
In the same vein, I have been in front of a trucks that had real powerful lamps. I get quite angry and think to myself, "That's why HID are not meant for self-install..." and I turn my outside mirrors down.

I know the left lamp should be lower than the right lamp marginally, but im in a situation where i think the difference is too much. I dont know if my judgement is off because of how long ive been driving with collision damage so thats why I'm asking you guys. I dont wanna walk into the body shop talking like an ***.
abbid I just drew circles around the center of the bulb patterns in the photo you copied. My left lamp hits the bottom of the driveway, my right the garage doors. This is normal?

in case you're unaware, the lights are adjusted by a regular screwdriver. Just push the tip in, and twist. No need to remove the bumper or anything. Just pop the hood and go.

I adjusted the lamp myself and now it makes a proper staircase. I also had someone drive towards me and he said the level is fine. Thanks for everyone's help!
