headlight question (08 hatch)

Quick question for all of you experienced with Yaris headlights. I felt my headlights were in need of aiming. Looked up how to do it and went out to find a wall to aim against last night. The passenger side was good and threw a very distinct bright spot on the wall in the apporpriate area. The driver's side was another story. No distinct bright spot to be seen. Tried raising it and lowering it to see if the bright spot was hidden somewhere but I discovered that it was non existent. Sort of like it is not focused. If it was a water nozzle it is like the passenger side is on pressure wash while the driver side is set on mist. I adjusted the height by using the upper edge of the light to set the height. I have set headlights before and have never seen this.

Is it possible I have a bad light, bad reflector, maybe the bulb is not installed correctly??? It still seems that it makes less light than the right side. Anyone else had this problem or is it just me? I don't want to go thru all the trouble of pulling the headlamp assembly if there really is nothing wrong.

Thanks
