folks: When I had my headlight adjusted so that the low beam was not pointing directly at the ground, the high beam now points at the top of the telephone poles. I see that the housing is one molded unit but has anyone found a method of changing the reflectors in the housing or found something that can be changed in the houseing so that they are both pointing down the road. I already have PIAA driving lights, but over here on the Eastern Shore the road rats, also know as deer, are everywhere and I need as much light as possible.

I think we are pretty much stuck with what we have. A while back someone tried cutting them down the middle to make a shift, but I don't recall them coming back with results.

I try to aim mine by being where yours are and bring the hi beam down just a little. I also set mine up so that both beams are on with the hi beam, that made a big difference. I also put a 194 bulb in the middle socket for the park lamp deal.

You might want to check that the bulbs are seated correctly.
