Default Columbia Freightliner question

Can someone explain to me two things about these class 8 Yugos
1)why are the fog lights always on
2)why is there always one headlight waaaaaay out of adjustment.It seems to be either one ,never just the left or right.
Are these things impossible to fix or,am I asking too much???

I spent 2 summers in one, and can attest the a/c sticks on. As far as the headlights, that boggles me 8)

The Columbia I drove at Marten didn't have any 'rookie' lights, but my definition explains why the ones you see that do, always have them on! :wink:

I dont know whats with the Yugo thing since my truck gets the job done just as any other but i've seen just as many Peterbuilts or KWs rolling blind on one eye as i have seen Columbias so i fail to see the point.. :?:

Those lights below the bumper are Company driver Chicken Lights or
My other Explaination.. Thair Driver Trainer Turned them on and they are afraid to wake him up and ask how to turn them off... or they have not read far enough into the Co manual to find the switch

The head lights.... You need a Quarter to adjust them ....Self Explanatory
or a screw driver

Sorry I Had To Reply

the last time i was in one was 04 and the headlight's were just fine but if you can't get yours to stay then you may want to try a "little" lock-tight

as to the fog lights sounds like some drivers don't know how to trun them OFF.

i drive a volvo 780 (company) and you would not beleave the number of drivers i have had to tell not to trun the headlight switch all the way to the right "it has 4 stops off, park, headlight, & headlight + fog" dumb but some people just don't know what all the switches do
