HID Fog Lights - Beam Pattern?
I installed my HID fogs a few months ago and last night I happened to have them on at just the right time of the evening to get a real good view of their beam pattern on the road in front of me. (Not too dark, not too light).
Anyway, I noticed that my driver's side light cut-off is well in front of my passenger light cut-off so I want to adjust accordingly. My question, is what is the correct or advised beam cut off distance for C5 fogs? I've performed a search and found answers for ACAs, headlights, etc., however nothing for HID fogs.
I plan to perform the adjustment tonight (same "Bat Channel, same Bat Time") and wonder whether I should push the driver's side beam out of pull the passenger's side beam in?
Thanks!

The good news is that the HID fogs throw off enough light for me to be even concerned with the beam pattern. I didn't even know when the OEM halogen fogs were on.
