do BMW (Laser) headlights come in left and right hand drive?

so i have 2 cars with laser lights and one of the laser points higher than the other

ie left laser lower than right laser
specifically G21 and G30
local Right hand drive (steering wheel on right)

i wondered if that means the lasers were made for Germany where they might want to point the left one lower than the right one, but even then it doesn't make sense as the lights are supposed to not shine at oncoming cars

UK cars include a software toggle to flip it. So it is likely that the headlights are the same and they aim based on software settings.
