Does anyone have a photo of what a properly adjusted right side headlight (driver's view - UK model) looks like when projected against a wall?

Right side only - ie. left headlight covered up or disconnected.
Driving light, not high beam.

The pattern projected by my rhs headlight is vague at best. The L/R adjustment appears stripped, and the projection pattern forever looks like the bulb isn't properly seated. The left side headlight has a defined cutoff, and works exactly as it should. The electric headlight up/down adjusters work fine.

Thanks.
 
Thank you for this information. I will check reaaaaally well whether after all the care I took replacing the bulbs I still managed to put one in upside down. It seems the most straightforward explanation for my light adjustment woes.

I know from experience it's very easy to fit a 7th Gen dipped beam bulb upside down, see this one...
Putting some closure on this (better late than never), you were totally correct. The position lugs on the H1 bulb are totally not Murphy proof.
