headlight pattern question?

Hi,
Recently I replaced my stock headlight bulbs to "Osram" silverstar.
The bulbs were bright however I noticed I got a " / / " beam pattern.
What's wrong?
How can I fix it?

You know, I got the same thing when I installed my PIAAs. I wonder what's up?

Maybe you werent paying attention to it before with your stock headlights, but the beam pattern is always aligned the way so that the right headlight will always be leaning right. In England and Japan its the left headlight. Its the world agreed standard I guess.

It doesn't surprise me. That way the oncoming traffic doesn't get blinded. With HID projectors, the auto leveling system takes that into account, so you get that definite "horizon" cut off.
