Just got my new Uly 5 days ago. Headlights both high and low point onto ground about 15 feet in front of bike. Looked in owners manual for how to adjust. Manual said to look in shop manual which I have on order. How do you adjust the lights up? thanks Paul

Hole in sides above lights but below the cowl allows screwdriver access for horizontal adjustment. Vertical adjustment is done with adjusting a screw under upper front guard.

Hi

Basically my manual says, point lights at wall 25' away. Adjust low beams so top of beam pattern is 35" high and center of high beam pattern should be 35" high. This should be checked while sitting on bike. The bolt going up through the fender is for vertical alignment and bolts in the side of housing is for horizontal. I would adjust my suspension the way I like it and then adjust head lights.
