Default Headlight issues.

Hi ! I have a 05 Cayenne Turbo with xenon lights, the problem is that left side is stronger then right side.
Have switched the bulbs, no difference, then I did the same with ballast and still the same.
Question is, can it be low current to the bulb or is it something else ?
As you see on the picture the right one is less bright, and I need a adjustment to make it even.

Low beem.

High beem.

I have a similar issue, stripped down the headlight unit, the lens was dirty and my reflector mirroring is starting to fail. Cleaned the lens and stuck some shiny aluminium tape over the area where the mirroring is failing.

Thank you for this tip, I dismantle it and it was simelar so I did the same and now it look much better.
Then it is the adjustment, anyone that have a god tip to do that ?
I tried the allen screw next to the release screw but there was no difference. Can`t find anything in the usermanual, only thing it say about adjustment is to contact dealeship. The self adjustment is working as it should when I turn om lights.
