LED headlights pattern - does this look normal?

As far as I know, the passenger side LEDs (btw, I'm assuming all 6 of the LEDs per headlight are on?) should have a little raise (like a Nike swish) towards the curb. Yours being LHD, means if you are in the drivers seat, it should swish up a bit on the right side. Saying that, as I have no point of reference, so don't take my word for it, it appears the drivers side looks a bit high, nothing a philips screwdriver and putting your car about 10m from the wall can't fix.
I always thought the beams had to be somewhat like this:

Looked at mine and they kind of go up in steps from right to left. So a 1/3 of the way, they step up a bit then again another 1/3 of the way. Guess yours should go the same but from left to right

I adjusted mine level, Just had an MOT, no issues with alignment or pattern.

I adjusted that passenger light up now and it made a huge difference - I need to drive a bit to confirm and might even turn both down a notch.
...one thing I can say, now I understand why people complain to me on the road about my lights...

Just out of coincidence, I ended up next to another FL Leon with LED headlights yesterday when I was doing a test drive to check the alignment. After I overtook him, his lights were REALLY bright on my rearview mirrors - and I am sure 100% it was not the long lights he was having, so... they just happen to be very bright.

I'm fairly convinced my face-lift LEDs are adjusted too high (from factory). I'll wait and see how much I get flashed when winter comes around...

I use this method on all my cars to adjust and align Headlights.. Halogen, HID or LED.

I'm sorry for the bad quality but I can't find any better version...
