skewed....

from day 1, the headlights alignment was not even... however the misalignment was mild and hardly noticeable; which is why i left it alone.....

during the first service, i requested for a headlight adjustment but i am quite sure they did nothing.... or so i thought .... but the result wasnt to my satisfaction......

maybe it was intentional for cars to have the right beam at a lower position than the left to avoid blinding on-coming vehicles..... maybe maybe

anyway i forgot to remind them at the 2nd service...... and also the 3rd service ....haha

after the recent service (4th service at 20,000 km), the alignment became more of an issue......... i am not sure what they did or did not do...... but it became worse.....

last night i tried to DIY but i realised that it wasnt a straightforward job...... even though it's easy to get the necessary information for the adjustment from the various lancer forums but in real life, it wasnt as easy as described.....

firstly, i am not sure if a philips head screwdriver is the right tool for the job....... after twisting the adjustment knob, i noticed that the screwdriver could be stripping the internal gears...... i think i might even have damaged the gears......

in addition, the rate of adjustment is pretty gradual...... i did not observe any changes at first and it took quite a few good turns before the beam dipped......

so after getting the headlights aligned at about 2 m, i noted that the alignment is very different at, let's say, 15 m...... ahhhh more adjustment is needed......

now i need more time to get it done.......
