Are your headlights uneven? o___0

[Riviot]

I've noticed this since day one, but today it really bothered me. Do other people notice their headlights throwing an uneven beam, favoring the passenger side?

If it's intentional, I assume the purpose is lower the light hitting oncoming traffic. If it's not, it looks like a lazy eye to me.

Normally it looks like ___--- but on certain bends, I notice multiple tiers, like there's a small tier between them.

Do others see this in their trucks too? Or are they level? Am I the only one noticing this?

You're correct, purpose is for oncoming traffic. Pretty much every vehicle with HID's or LED lights I have had or driven have had some droop on the drivers side light. In Teslas theres a feature to adjust the angle of the headlights through the infotainment screen. Not sure if Rivian has a similar system.

This was an interesting story about in September 3rd 1967, Sweden change from left hand traffic to right hand. This video, explains that they had special stickers on the headlights that were not to be removed until the switch, these stickers limited the height of the lights but needed to be removed on the day of the switch see timestamp 3:48 in this video:

Wanted to chime in that I love the subject line of your thread.

Gave me a chuckle.

It’s definitely not A B Normal

Wait, does this mean there’s a forthcoming TSBoob job?

That’s a normal cutoff. generally much more noticeable with LED or other HID headlamps.
