Default Auxiliary lights adjustment

Just added a 2006 Deluxe to our stable, and one of the auxiliary lights needs to be adjusted down... any idea as to the way here; the aux lights and turn signals are mounted to the same bar and no external hardware is apparent.

You'll need to buy ( or make ) a special socket ( a deep well 9/16 socket with a slot cut down the log side will do ) then watch this video.

This is exactly what I needed for my 2008 Heritage. A little different setup on the 2006 Deluxe; I decided to take the trim ring off the aux light needing adjustment, andfound that a 1/2" open end would do the trick for that one.

Thanks, Larry!

You gotta take the trim ring and lamp housing off then there is a 1/2" nut that you loosen to adjust the light and turn signal. It's pretty simple but you will need to hold the turn signal too while tightening.
