I feel that in mine sometimes but only from the interior, from the outside it looks ok.

I had a vectra and found the same. I had replaced the bulbs myself turns out but hadn't lines them up properly. Brought it to an indie mechanic who did a proper alignment for me for a tenner. Made a huge difference

As above, get the headlights checked and aligned. I checked an Octavia this morning where both headlights were very dim. One bulb was faulty and the other wasn't fitted correctly. 10 minutes and a new headlight bulb and the difference was night and day (see what I did there? :pac:)
