It's one of the faults of that particular lamp. On a vehicle with higher lamp placement it wouldn't be as noticible, but I'd still not use it in preference to a Hella "vision plus", or any number of other options. I'm not the only one who has observed that split in the light pattern as some of those links showed. It's not just people's subjective perception, its showing up on the test equipment. Is it better than most lamps sold at parts stores and on the internet? Yea, probably. Would I use them over the GE Nighthawk sealedbeam. No!
Twenty-five feet is what was specified in the service manual for visual aiming
if a headlight aimer was not available. Then aim as follows, using the first part for hi/low lamps and the second part for dedicated high beam lights.

That's what the Virg. regs illustrate.

NJ and some other states would check the aim using a machine at the annual state inspection.
As far as I know ECE lamps have use a similar distance, although surely its not in US or Imperial measure. LOL. Headlamps positioned higher on vehicles need to be pointed slightly down.
