I just noticed last night that my daytime running lights/ high beams are quite uneven. Did any of you guys notice this in the 2014/2015's? I changed my bulbs and double checked the sockets and everything seems to be in place.

I'll try to put the stock ones back on tonight as it might be a bulb issue. :facepalm

Why should they be the same height?
DRL arent supposed to be aimed in oncoming traffics eyes......
Hi Beams are supposed to be angled higher to be able to see farther when no traffic is around.......
Unless you mean the Hi beams are angled lower?

Keep in mind headlights are designed such that the driver side is aimed lower than the passenger side to avoid blinding on-coming traffic.

The beam seems more scattered and a lot lower on the left-hand side.

If I switch to yellow DRL's, they are legal here right?

This is by design.

I know with the 04-09 models, you can slightly adjust the angle by a couple of degrees. I had that problem with my 07, where as they were completely unleveled once I installed the HID's. After a few adjustments in terms of angling, they were leveled.
