Anyone else find their factory halogen headlights to be aimed more to the right? Sitting in a lane I have way more light on the shoulder than I do on the center stripe. Like, the entire shoulder is illuminated and there’s barely any light on the center line. Now, I understand being in the US the light should illuminate that side of the road a little BUT this is pretty significant. Makes for interesting left-hand curves in the dark.

 

Well this link provided by @sennister says the LED variants are skewed to the right as well (for anyone interested)

My '20 Lariat with LEDs is certainly biased to the right. I sometimes feel bad for smaller vehicles while passing them; I've seen drivers holding up their left hand trying to block the reflected light from their exterior mirror.

 

Headlights, Sorry there is no left to right settings adjustment, just up and down. I guess that's because Ford builds them so accurately. I for one, would like to see a little adjustment, maybe they don't because there is always someone out there that abuses the light positioning.

 

All vehicles in right had drive countries have the left headlight's cutoff sharper to reduce glare to oncoming drivers.

 

Yeah I get that but my 2019 GMC (traded that thing in for my F150) and my 2020 Chevy (company vehicle) have a nice even spread of light across the whole front of the truck. This beam pattern (if you’re weird enough to pay more attention to it then you probably should) looks like this -> / /

left hand curves are inadequately lit.

 

wish they would’ve included that adjustment but I’m sure the beam is baked into the headlight so they’d no longer sit flush with the front lines after adjustment.

 

I really wish I we could adjust the L&R of the headlights as well.

 

Seen quite a few articles about headlights being misaligned straight from the factory.
This story is about tinting but also addresses the factory issue

From that story:
The U.S.-based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) tested headlights in new cars right off the assembly line, and found around 50 per cent are misaligned and could be causing glare.

Seems normal. Headlamp alignment is to be performed, if needed, during PDI at the dealership.

OP: Can you provide a headlamp output shot against a light color background from about 10ft?

It's possible the headlamp assembly (driver/LED/lens) was not properly seated within the housing. You should have enough spill to not only illuminate the demarcation lines of the lane you are in, but also the demarcation lines on the far side of a lane to your left.
