Default can this be true??

went to the dealer to get some routine maintenance done and had him check my headlight... the driver one is tilted down and looks like it is either burning out or not leveled! So i asked them to either replace or level it out, they told me that is how it is supposed to be and that audi has picked up what bmw started by lowering the driver side headlight (only xenon's) so that they dont blind other drivers. All thought when i put on my high beams they look even?? This sounds like bull and in my opinion looks terrible. Could someone give me some advice? thanks

It is true. It is a little bit lower so you don't blind other drivers.

if it bothers you that much just adjust it yourself - easy to do

Are you new to cars, because headlight lowbeams have been set up this way for decades
