Adjusting the headlights - am I blind?

Is it just me or do the lights seem set a little high up? I mean I can see great and all but I've already been flashed by a couple

Oh, you'd know if you did lol. That bright blue light would remind you, gently

My lights sit PERFECT. They cut off right at the top of most trunks on cars...

I use to think that sometimes, then I noticed it was more often on certain roads, then I noticed it was because of potholes. Bouncing looks like flashing, what can I say. Then I started driving the 'low' pony here in the land of tarmac tanks (read: massive trucks and SUV's) and my eyes are always bloody blinded, so I can't really tell anymore.

I remember that the left/right headlight discrepancy was more pronounced in UK, that I actually noticed it day to day. I don't think I've noticed it since coming to the states and driving more American brand cars. Maybe the headlights in the Z are more similar to the JDM or Euro spec, so they carry over the height difference by default?
