1. The left light should be lower than the right light (in countries where you drive on the right side of the road). This is to diminish headlight glare for oncoming drivers.
2. The headlights are adjustable, but adjustment is not needed in this case.

In the old days, the headlight on the driver's side was usually adjusted lower to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. The other side was adjusted higher because it was less likely to shine in a driver's face.

On the S2000, BOTH headlights have a light pattern that is designed to be lower on the driver's side and higher on the passenger side, so when adjusted properly the light pattern that hits the road will be closer to the car on the driver's side and farther out on the passenger side. This is normal, and does not mean one light is adjusted lower than the other, although yours could be out of whack.

As a result of the special light pattern, both headlights should be adjusted to the same height. There used to be some headlight info here in the library, but I don't know if it's still around. It was copied from my web site, which I know is still available here (bottom of page).
