One of the many, many things I need to figure out on my E36 is why the cut offs are relatively normal on the left side, then go up at about a 45* angle on the right for both bulbs.
Its because that would be the shoulder of the road...it allows more light to reach over there to help eliminate dark spots on the side of the road. At least this is what I believe. I would venture a guess to say euro cars for countries that don't share our road patterns would have the opposite cutoff
