I doesn't aim "straight up". The cutoff is angled so the left side is lower so as to not blind on coming drivers, and higher on the right so as to light up reflective street signs, etc.
They are both at the same level, its just the cutoff's.

yea that is how the headlights are designed... stock setting for them are driver side is lower then the passenger side so it will not blind the on coming cars and the passenger side is straight but a wider glare so it dont look straight for you to see farther...

and urmm i hope you didnt adjust the bolt that is cover by a plastic cover with a screw locking it... that bolt is to align side to side and it only as like 2 to 3 turn and it will come off and then its a ***** to get it back centered

now for the color the driver side is brighter then the passenger side because it the closest connection to the battery so the ballast has more power... what you want to do it get a battery kit harness and that will make it even better connection to the battery...
