I hope they chime in too, beccause my passenger headlight is higher than my driver's side, despite the dealership telling me it checks out. I thought it was a sensitivity issue, but it's the aim. I was told all of our cars are supposed to have a lower aiming beam from driver's side, anyone else notice this?
i lowered my car a few days ago, my headlight seem to be dimmer, and i just got my ballast change two weeks ago due to malfuntion of my headlight, im just gonna life with it i mean nothing i can do and i also have an intake, i mean as long as my lights are still straight than im good.

How do you solve the auto-leveling problem when you lower the car? .
I have a customer who asked after he lowered his car and now he's getting this problem. Sorry.....did a quick search but couldn't find the answer.

Driver side doesn’t not need to be lower.
By design, the right side should always appear brighter since both beams are projecting more light that way.
Being a former HIDPlanet member and ex-retro fitter. I think there is a little misinformation about headlight brightness and pattern. By design US based cars have either a DOT or ECE shield inside the projector which allows for the projector cutoff and to some degree the beam pattern.
These shields provide the slope in the beam patterns cutoff, making the beam higher towards the right and lower towards the left. Both headlights should have the same level pattern determined by the side. They should line up and overlap to some degree.
HIDPlanet University has some great articles on proper aiming and the myth that the right side is brighter.
