Wrong. Do what you are thinking about and you make it worse. You'll be blinding oncoming traffic with your passenger light and not get enough visibility on the drivers side. Instructions for proper aiming have been posted on the forum. The search feature is your friend.

The attached picture is the correct beam pattern for all cars that are left hand drive, so please DON'T adjust your headlights to have a single slope or try to center them. If anything, try to adjust your headlights so that the horizontal cutoff line is linear to each other.
