Aux Driving Lghts

1oldtimer · 10-07-2013, 07:36 PM

Does anyone know if there is an adjustment for the aim of these lights? My left side appears to be much brighter than the right. I replaced both bulbs because of this and after replacing them, I find the same issue. So I am wondering if it is just an alignment issue or if I am not holding my head right when I look at them straight on

Thanks,
Frank

You can adjust them at the mount from inside the fairing, you have to remove the speaker boxes and maybe the glove box, you will then see the bolts holding the light in place, I believe you loosen two, and the bracket holding the light in will move up or down.

Thanks Smokey, I'll give them a look this weekend.

there is a wingnut in there as well that you have to loosen, I think there is an adjustment in there somewhere, if not you may be able to use some shims or washers to move the bottom of the bracket out slightly which would have the effect of lowering the beam.

I just installed a set. there are two 10mm bolts they pivot on, you would loosen those first, then a wingnut on a radiused slot that would be your adjustment.
