can someone explain this to me???

Both my AU wagon and now the Fairlane Sportsman that I just bought were both "city" cars when I bought them and both had their headlights adjusted so badly as to be of negligable functionality. The lights were adjusted very low, which I can understand I guess, but on both vehicles the lights were adjusted way to the right to the point of lighting up the opposite side of the road only out at 100m or so; the left light adjusted so far that it crossed high beams with the right at about 50m. The net effect of all this is that the left side of the road at 50-60m and beyond is in marginal light at best and the verge or footpath are virtually in the dark.

Was it just coincidence or are there lots of city cars set up like this,or is it possably just a Ford dealer pre delivery thing.... and if so why??... cos it makes no sense to me . IMHO correctly adjusted lights should give an even spread from one side of the road to the other, high beam centre spots going straight up the road with a hint of right "lean" for the drivers side light to light up the opposite side of the road and low beam just below the horazontal so as to not dazzle oncoming traffic. That way you maximise your spread and get the most benifit from your lights.
