Is this beam/light look normal or i need more on the left? (This is right hand drive car)
Also there is a hint of yellow on top, does this mean the bulb is on its way out?

Cheers

Are both headlights in? Doesn't look normal, not sure if it's a RHD thing.

Both in but the left looks a bit dull comparing to the right, maybe the bulb is on its way out?
I got a few adjustments to do, left hand corner meant to be higher than right (RHD).

Yea that is what I meant too. Maybe raise the left. Also swap the bulbs around, you will know if it's the ballast or bulb.
