One of the easiest ways for me to adjust my HD LED headlight is to adjust the air in my Shotgun Shocks.

I love my LED's. The headlight and passing lamps added up to a LOT of dollars, but the illumination at night is amazing. I've also been told my high beam is awesomely bright in my friend's mirrors during daylight.

I also worry sometimes they're aimed too high the way they light up street signs, but I verified the alignment on my garage door and I've never been flashed.

Nice blue FB, by the way, digital.

One of my friends told me that he sped up to get away from my high beam though I didn't know it at the time since I just sped up as well to maintain the same distance. I just knew he liked to ride fast and figured he wanted to go faster. He said it was like the "sun" following him in his mirrors.

Don't you guys read the instructions ? The instructions are very precise.

I have these on my 09 SG, and became 50% better adding led passing lamps. There's aiming instructions in the owner's manual. That's what I used and they're right on.

Another plus with leds is that they push less energy out the front of the bike which makes it faster. Combine that with black paint and you get one screamin machine!

I want one, but not while it's still $475+ dollars, and the Kuryakyn is too gaudy for my tastes

edit:

well..shoot.. $420 at Surdyke

The aiming is different for the LEDs , than what is in your manual .
