Driving With Fog Lamp

As the title states.

How many of you drives at night with the foglamp turned on? For myself, I find my eyes getting worst by the day, especially driving at night. By turning on the foglamp, it helps alot by lighting up the lower portion of the road, I'd say a good estimate of 5~7 metres infront of my car.

This really proves to be very useful and very important because it allows me to see the potholes or other small objects usually can't be shone with our typical headlamp unit (HID probably won't have this problem) due to angle problem.

Anything to share on this regard and driving habit? I am planning to change my foglamp bulb to those higher performance Philips ones, similar to what I am using for my low-beam headlamp. It won't be HID bright but I don't want to be stopped by roadblocks or cause danger to other drivers.

Projector headlamp adjust (Sonar)

As the title states,

Got myself a pair of projector lamp from a friend. installation was ok, normal hassle of re-wiring & stuffs. now the pain in the arse part....adjusting the beam.

after searching online for projector adjustment, i found out that the best beam line should be something like this:

* _______/------------ *

but mine's now shaped like * \___/ \___/* , causing the opposite cars to hi-beam me, indicating that my beams are way off.

i tried to adjust the screw at the back which is shaped like a gear wheel, but turning it clock or anti doesn't seem to move it. anyone here have experiance with this brand of projector headlamp?

thanks.

Change of attitude

Hi.

does the relationship between 2 ppl will change for the bad, when a confession is turned down? when she confessed to me last time, i wasnt ready...but i tried to maintain the friendship and told her i am not ready yet...

and when i am...it was my turn to confess to her...but this time, she told me she only wants to be a friend. i dont want to force her...so we remained friends. but same time, situations has been so close, i cant tell what is really going on her head. so i confronted her and reconfirm our status...now, she says its all a misunderstanding and she is 'just a friend'. i of coz had to tell her that it made me sad, but if she says so then there is nothing i could do about it. i wasnt trying to blame her, but i just tot even as friend, we should be able to tell each other if we are hurted by some of their actions right?

but after that, her attitude changed. no more reply on emails, 5 sms will be replied by 1, and my 5 sentences replied by 1 word of yes, no, & hmm.

what has happened? i dont understand. if she thinks by doing that it will make me 'give up'... i can say for certain it is not working. actions like this doesnt help me in giving up...it makes me sadder and feel cheap. i wasnt desperate....i just wanted to remain friends and be like before even after rejection....but her overdoing it makes me feel otherwise.

girls...if any of u are doing this as a mean to make guys 'die heart'...pls dont. its wrong...its so wrong. imagine bfore this, we would sms or call each other few times a day and have conversation like normal....now since there is no reply and only me doing it...the whole situation suddenly became as if i was pestering. and yes, i feel like i am pestering her now just by doing the normal things done before...

sigh...maybe i was wrong to even bother to confess. girls often blame guys if they dont make their move, but when we do...it ends up like this. in the end, i lost both friend and a chance to make it happen.
