Auto leveling xenon headlights - adjustments?
When I start the car, the auto leveling appears to work as the lights rise and lower when the lights come on.
When driving, the xenon has a sharp cutoff at it's horizon and I can see that the driver's light is a little lower.
Dealer says this is how they are calibrated so as to not blind opposing traffic. Makese sense.
Is that the correct alignment?

I have read the the left is lower as to not blind oncoming traffic and the right is a bit higher to illuminate traffic signs on the right side of the road. This is the way mine look when I start it up and it shines on the garage door.
When you next think about it, get closer to the door at night. You will notice that both headlights have a lightning bolt upper cutoff. The left side is lower to not dazzle oncoming traffic. As far as I know, all modern factory HID headlights have that same cutoff design.
Look at this photo posted in the LED fog light thread. Notice the left beam is lower; it is by design, no worries.

Because of the projectors (the glass ball covering the lamps) the lights are really even and then cut off completely. They should be aimed perfectly it is just a lot easier to notice the differences with three protector lenses.
