I noticed the other day when parked in front of a wall that the top line of my headlight's beams weren't even, the driver side headlight was a little higher than the passenger side. You can't tell when driving on the road, or even looking at them directly. Anyone else have this issue? I just had a body shop remove and reclear the front bumper, I wonder if they bumped it or something.
 
It will be extremely hard to tell you if it is normal without seeing a picture of the pattern.

At first I thought it was because of the parking spot not being level, but that passenger side headlight is always slightly lower everywhere I park where I can shine the beam against a vertical object.

Bring the passenger side up a tad, super easy to do!

so not normal lol I'll adjust it up

Nah! Funny enough, my headlights were all wonky when I bought the car. One was pointing to the moon and the other at the ground like 10 feet infront of the car. I parked it, went inside and came out with a screw driver to adjust them. Started the car and they both adjusted perfectly. I lol'd, went inside and made a drink

Not knowing how far it's off, it's normal for the driver side light to be slightly higher than the passenger side. This is the proper way to aim headlights. In countries that have RHD you would observe the right headlight (drivers side) higher.

That said the height difference should only be noticeable very close to the front of the car.

Edit: Sorry got all that backwards. Passenger should be higher. So yea if the drivers side is higher they need to be readjusted
