Post by BRUTEWING »

My headlight on high only points 10 feet in front on me on high and 8 feet in low beam is there a way to adjust this.

Right underneath the headlight is a nut. Loosen that (do not remove it) and you can slide it back and forth to move the headlight up and down. It may be a bit stiff to move at first.

Here's a how-to on correctly aiming your headlight.

If after this you are still not happy with how well you can see at night you should consider upgrading to a PIAA HS-1 Super Plasma bulb. They are 2X the brightness as the stock Buddy bulb with no additional electrical draw. A great mod.

From your suggestion I ordered a Piaa bulb. Should be here next Wednesday or so. I'll let you know how it works out.

They're great bulbs. Of course they still need to be aimed correctly :)
