The pattern of light your headlights cast to illuminate road signs and roadside markers. Look at you low beam pattern on a wall at night.

In all Drive on the Right countries, it is: __/

In all Drive on the Left countries, it is: \__

See the problem? The on-coming traffic does!

I see... that means right side headlamp is sort of shooting little higher than left?

No, Kim, both headlights have the same beam kick-up (side dependent on the sale country's driving laws), albeit at about a 35° angle. The beam pattern is for each headlight. Just limited to text only characters here. Take your car out at night and on level ground, illuminate a plain concrete wall while perpendicular to it from 15' to 30'. You will see the beam pattern.__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t & 2000 Q45
