Default Why do my headlights always have this jagged look on the driver side?

No matter what I do to adjust the bulb or replace the bulb the driver side always has this weird pattern?!? Why?

My lights look the same original bulbs, must be the reflector pattern.

These are autolumination.con bulbs. This is the second one I've put into this socket. Same pattern with each one. The passenger side is the same bulb and it's straight , if I swap the left for the right the pattern stays at the driver side.

Not the bulb it`s the headlight assembly reflector.
I had hella reflectors in a different car and they had a unique pattern to them drivers side only.

This is to have more light in a higher/broader pattern on the non-oncoming traffic side. It's the opposite for GB /Australia/Japan etc.
