Default 2005 LS430 headlight question/issue...

I just sold my 2003 ES and bot a 2005 LS (just ML package but it's awesome anyway...) and one thing I have noticed is that the headlights, in terms of how they light up the road, seems odd. It's hard to describe, almost have to draw the pattern I'm seeing. A line across...then an uplift of about an inch...then across. Bright pattern below the line..and above is kinda dim. Strange really...but I can't imagine it's not something that can be adjusted.

I had HID's in my ES and they were great. I looked through the LS forum and saw nothing related to this. Before talking to my shop I thought I'd throw it out to the group for comment.

Thanks much,
John

It's normal - that's the cutoff line on the HID projectors so you don't blind oncoming cars.
