Default e code question

finally got them installed and tried to aim them, i aim them both the right height, however , if i'm standing in front of the car about 15 to 20 feet away, it seems that the driver side light is pointed upwards as it's brighter than the passenger side. as i start to kneel down while looking at the lights , about 4 to 5 inches down, then the passenger side brightness matched the driver side as far as it seemed to be leveled. i'm worried that the driver side may blind uncomming cars. any suggestions, if i adjust the passenger side to match the driver side,it throws off the beam pattern.

Default somethings wrong. They should be in a step pattern with the driver side a few inches lower than

the passenger side. Like so:

/<small>------</small>/<big>-----</big>

Default yeah, but if he's standing in the middle of the car....

then he would be looking at the high step of the driver's side light and the low step of the passenger side light.
