Looks fine but in a distance its like driving with 1head light. Adjusted at about 8 vehicle lenths after this pic kept drivers side slightly lower. Moved pass side down a touch and drivers up a touch and miles better to see with now. I really do have an obsession with the headlight beam look and see with every motor i sit in.

I usually do that aim right down then 1 up at a time and then left and right to see what looks right. Then check against a wall that they go slightly left a bit and then faff with height again
 
Park your car 2 or 3 meters from a wall on level ground. Put a bit of card right in front of the light and measure the distance from the ground to the 'cut off' of the light. Then measure the same thing but on the wall. Headlights should drop by about 2%, so that's 2cm for every meter that the car is away from the wall (eg, if you atr 3m from the wall, the pattern should be 6cm lower on the wall that it is at the headlight)
