Left side headlight alignment

My left (driver) side headlight dips lower than the right side. Is it the factory setting or is it out of adjustment.
Thanks,

My thoughts

Who knows and who cares how it comes adjusted for the factory.

If you do not like it that way then adjust it. I know the head lights on my car were adjusted so poorly that it was dangerous. The low beams pointed so low it was scarrrrrrry at highway speeds on a dark country road.

On a dark night park your car on flat ground about 10 feet away from a wall, you can see where the beams points to. Level them up and move them to where U want them. It is a good idea to mark the wall with a piece of tape of some kind of line to knwo where you started just in case you want to go back to the first setting.

And yes normally the left beam is slightly lower then the right from what I have seen with many cars.
