I know its prolly here somewhere but where. My lowbeam is about 20 ft out and I have to run with the hi's on to see down the road at nite. Not a great way to navigate. On my 99 I had no issues but this 03 I must correct post haste. Thank you in advance. Mike...:please:

take the front liner under the nose off. You can reach those adjustments from underneath the nose and behind the lights. Have a long socket. not sure what size, maybe a 10mm. Twotonevert helped me at the spring bash. we did it in a few minutes.
 
Good luck and be careful. Had this done at the dealer on my '06 and the mech stripped out one of the nylon nuts on the inside of the assembly. It cost them $300 for the assembly. Of course they did it under warranty.
 
Randy, I figured out how to do the adjustment, but what is the proper setting? Trial and error? I'm running HIDs, so everything is darn bright :laugh:

Its actually better if you have 2 people to do it. You sitting on your bike to settle the suspension correctly and someone to do the adjustment to your liking.
 
I just did mine a little as well. My low was ....well low and mi hi was shootin to the left. I have not had a chance to see if I am off yet.
 
mine was really low as well. Fine for Azimuth but Elevation was Nil. Point to consider: put a soft cloth over your front fender when you go to remove the under light Tray. The tool you use to pop the push pins likes to fall out of your hands and strike the fender as well as once the last one is removed, the tray drops on it as well...... Have a Trouble light to light it all up nicely when replacing. Be patient. NO FORCE REQUIRED!!!!! only finesse. Good luck.:thumbsup:
