Default E- code beam pattern

I installed my E-codes (HID version) over the weekend and then got them aligned by the dealer on Monday. I notice that the right passenger headlight beam appears have pattern that is different than the left drivers side. Has anyone else experienced this? I dont have a digital camera to take a pic. The driver side has a straight cut off line and the passenger side goes at an angle. I asked the dealer, he checked with the tech. The tech said he didn't notice the beam pattern being different between the right and left.

ECE beam pattern is like that so it produces less glare for oncoming traffic. It is asymmetric.

Default thats because the sings appears on the right side of the road

and therefore the right side beam is higher than the left. also GTakacs left side notion is true.

They either didn't hook it up to the Hella BeamMaster or didn't pay attention when running the test.
