Mine is the same way, by design. The far left beam is aimed a bit lower than the right as not to blind oncoming traffic. The right beam is aimed a bit higher to illuminate more of the oncoming road.

I've got the same thing. I thought it was misaligned.

It is not a mis-alignment.. You will notice that they go up something like steps from left to right. This is to compensate for oncoming drivers from the opposite direction. So the right side has a higher lighting while the left side is a bit lower.... this is what i think is happening need some confirmation

This topic was beaten to death months back....and I understand that the search function perhaps isn't working at full capacity yet. They are aligned this way by design.

Not due to alignment, but a "cut off" flap in the headlight. When you put on "high beam", that cut off flap lifts up and you get the full xeon power! Previous generation TL has a separate bulb for high beam.
