Default headlight pattern differences in the years?

hey guys im just curoius if the headlight pattern from the lowbeams was different from the years. i have a 92 sc and i had to replace my passenger side headlight because it was foggy.

after the replacement i noticed that the beam pattern was different from the 92 headlight, and the new one i got. im not sure what year the passenger side came from, but all i know is that the pattern is wider. the driver side seems to be more concentrated than the passenger.

i tried fiddling with the bulb to make it as good of a fit as it can go, but it still is the same. it is a wide pattern. ill take pics later on to show you what i mean.

im just curious if the patterns changed throughout the years of production? any help would be great.

Kevin

No they didn't change from '92 to '95 to '00 (three headlights I've examined). Try adjusting the toe of the aiming screws. They may have changed the factory width setting.
