The Daymaker LED lights that come on the 2014 and up touring bikes are a joke. They are not safe in a turn on a dark road. Those that ride around where there are street lights probably don't realize it.

took it out tonite , left the trim ring off and had allen key in my pocket . i had the " factory " setting on my garage door that they suggest . rode on some very dark roads with turns , pulled over and kept adjusting the screws , all in all i have it set now where there is no more giant dark V on the centre line. i can say if you take a corner at anything more than speed limit , it overdrives and theres a giant dark area on the ditch side .
i got home pulled in my driveway and compared my " liveable" headlight alignment to the " suggested " factory setting tape mark on my garage door - not even close . so if your trying to get a single daymaker to function as per what the manual says - no chance . set high beam approx 1 ft higher , also give the curb side adjuster screw one full turn counter clockwise and it will pull the light far enough to get rid of the giant dark V on the road.
this is just my findings and opinion
good luck and ride safe

On my 2015 Ultra Limited the trim ring has access holes in 4 places BUT I don't see any adjusters when I look into those holes just what looks like a gasket or rubber seal behind the holes. The manual says that the trim ring does not need to be removed....but I see no other way to access the adjusting screws. Any advice?...trim ring on or off to access the adjusters?
