XENON question

So I have an e92 and I noticed that the passenger side light at night appears to light up brighter than the driver's side, leaving a slope on the rode. I called the dealership since I am still under warranty and the guy I spoke to said that the driver's side light is aimed lower deliberately because it is the side of oncoming traffic. Is this true or is this guy just trying to avoid a small claim?

it is true but there's a screw you can turn to adjust your headlight level, just make sure not to turn it too much so you won't blind traffic. Post #20 shows location of screw

It's true.. just aim the driver's side a little higher to match the height of the passenger.

Nothing to worry about, you can point them up, there is a white screw hole ontop, I use the screw driver that is in the trunk of the car to adjust them, just be very careful not to spin too much, the projector might release.

Thanks for the help guys! I'm going to try this! It's annoying at night to have one side look brighter than the other

Okay, I went out to try to do this and I can't find that screw. I looked at that post and it looks a bit different from mine so I didn't know which one to adjust?
