Thanks Doug. I don't see where it says the heights should be different between driver and passenger side.

One day I was following behind a relative and afterwards they told me that one of my headlights seemed brighter than the other. It was during the day so I think they were referring to the DLR.

Looking at the headlights the brightness seems the same but when looking at the level of the lights there is a big difference between the two.

When I'm driving in front of another X3. I don't see the discrepancy between the two intensities as much as I saw with mine.

 

I'm pretty sure you can't align the DRL separately.

Two other possibilities. One, the bulb isn't inserted properly, so it's out of alignment with the reflector. Two, one of the bulbs is dimmer, which happens with age. Try swapping the bulbs, or just buy two new ones.
