it doesn't hurt to adjust alignment with the vehicle loaded with the amount of weight it will be mostly have during the drives.

So I went to the search threads section and found a thread on harness chafing.
( Speakin of thread searching, is there any way to default to the "Google" search.)
Sure enough, the harness was chafing on the EVAP bracket.
Not sure if that was the problem but addresses it anyway
Repaired as much as I could and added another layer of chafe protection.
Now to find out if the issue is fixed.

Yesterday , when I released the TPMS for the summer tires , I noticed my new headlights don’t have the amber lens in front of the turn signal, I could clearly see the white light and the amber signal light of my switchback bulbs. We drove out to dinner, and drove home in the darkness of our rural area, first night drive since I changed the headlights, very good night illumination, no flashings from oncoming cars.
