My g35 headlights after recall.

hey is it me, or is something really wrong with my car after the recall.
I took a picture of my car on a flat road.

My left headlight is brighter than my right.
* I noticed this when my lights are reflecting from a mirror (for ex) a resturant's window.
However, when I took a picture in my basement, I cant tell a difference.
Im confused, but I think something is wrong.
I realize that the passenger headlights should be slightly higher than the drivers, but theres no way that can affect the brightness.

anyone have this problem?
Is it possible the dealer didnt tighten the right headlight enough?
or just the right one is just malfunctioning?

ahh I dunno, I brought it to the dealer today, and they said it was the angle or watever so they adjusted it.
So I waited till night, and put my lights on, and left is brighter!!

swap bulbs left to right to see if the brighter light follows.

The same thing happened to me. I took it to the dealer and they said they saw nothing wrong with the lights. I ended up adjusting the light myself and now they look even and have the same brightness.

Yes. That's your problem, one is higher than the other. Once you lower the passenger side it should fix it.
