The correct aim will always have the right headlamp higher (light pattern further down the road) than the left one on a left-hand drive car.

i could use this info too. i have a big blind spot on the left side ahead on unlit roads at night. looks as though the left beam is aimed towards the right a bit.

Ive heard it is so your car wont blind other drivers when turning left.

If you want to adjust them, there is a big screw on top of the headlight which you can turn to move up or down.

Here is the procedure to adjust the lights: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/aim/aim.html

You should still have the light pattern lower towards the centre of the road, higher to the side, due to the "wedge" in the light pattern from left to right for each headlamp on a LHD car. Follow "Euro" headlight adjustment for the Z4 with HID lights.
