OK point taken, not toooooo high, but a little high IMO. There will be some 'bleed' at the edges of the beam that could cause dazzle, especially if you are travelling uphill. The dipped lights on my car were a similar height from new and I got lots of folks flashing me. I have knocked them down slightly so they are not quite so high and now there seems to be no problem.
50m in front sounds like they were set only a little low, dipped is only meant to light the road a short distance in front, say 60-80 meters. Anything more than that and you should be on full beam.
BUT - I understand if you live in an urban area, there may be no chance to use full beam that often, so tweaking the dipped beam might be a good thing.
