Left headlights reflection brighter that right?

Anyone else notice when you have your projectors on, the reflection on another dark colored car in front of you, the left projector seems brighter than the right? Almost as if the sparkle is smaller on the right side.

However looking at it straight on outside the car they look equally as bright.

I know the output beam for our projectors are like this ___/---/---- , but still doesn't explain why the left side's reflection seems brighter? Unless it has to do with the angle of the projectors mixed with the ____/ on the left and the ____/ on the right...

Yes I've seen that too, nothing to worry about, its just you sit right over the left headlight when you drive and you don't get the full effect from the right one when your there

i have the opposite problem. My passenger side projector seems to shine brighter than the driver side. And its not because the drive side is aimed lower. I reaimed them to be even. So, i wonder if i have ballast thats going bad or what.
