Default Headlights aim more to the left?!?

Just a while ago I adjusted the headlights to aim a little higher. As its aimed higher, I've noticed that the ray of light spreads out further on the left side rather than the right side. Is everybody's headlights aimed perfectly (besides the notch in the middle)?

It's the way it was designed to minimize glare for oncoming traffic on the other side. If you are on the RHD, your right side will be lower than your left. Vice-versa if you are on the LHD, your left side will be lower.

Just a safety design for everyone's benefit, besides you should see my HID angles to judge how evil those lights are. I don't even need the high beams anymore in any conditions.

The problem isn't the height of the light. I already know that the lights are designed to minimize glare for oncoming traffic. I really don't know how to describe it well... but the left side looks more spread out than the right, meaning I can see more light coverage on the left. Maybe I need to make the right headlight aim a little higher? But doesn't seem that way because the line of both headlights are aligned to each other... sorry if this is confusing, I'm confused myself...

I understand what you mean ... It's just how it was designed, even if they are lined up together one side seems to have more exposure than the other side.
