Default Light setup

I'm going to install a dk lift kit on my 2016 tri glide. Just like to check my lights on my trike after install. How far away should bike light be from garage door or wall should you be and how far up should it be shinning on wall. Is there any adjustment on fog lights? When measuring distance away from wall is it light or front tire.
thank. You

If you would read your owners manual it will give you all that information. It is 20ft from the light. High beam -2" on the headlight. Be sure you are setting level. The passing lights should lower than the headlight.

I just adjusted the lights on my 14 tri after installing the DK lift. If you have the trike supplement it gives you very good instructions, in the 14 supplement it is on page 1-27. After I installed the lift I had an indy adjust my lights because I didn't have the special socket to adjust the passing lights, did he screw that up. I made my own socket and the adjustment was not very hard to do.

My thought about the guy who did the adjustment, he didn't have the special socket, and he was just trying to do something that he may have done many times, turn the lights on and see where they shine and tweek them. My lights were so bad that in the daytime they were hard to see from the front. Jim
