Default AFS Turns More On Drivers Side, Is This Normal?

on my 06 RX330 I have noticed that at night when I am driving the the AFS that the drivers side moves about 10X more than the passenger side. Passangers riding with me have noticed the same thing, I assume this is not normal or is it?

Default Its normal

I'm not sure exactly why the manufacturers are turning the driver side (left side when inside facing forward) more then the passenger side. I really like the adaptive lighting, but would like to see the right side turn more and the system to work at speeds lower then 20 MPH. When driving home I have a number of small turns going into the hills and it would be great to get that extra light to see any animals which may be in the road.

Yep, 15-left 5-right. I don't get this, because normally on bends, right turns are narrower and you need the lights to turn the right more.

If I have to speculate, you don't want too much light directed away from incoming traffic on your left, hence only five degrees to the right.
