Default adjusting aux. lights

i installed aux. lights on my fatboy this winter. does anyone have any tips for adjusting them? it seems like its going to be a pain in the *** to a keep them tight enough to move them and then take them apart while keeping them in the spot i like them. thanks in advance.

if i recall correctly, you should be something like 10ft (maybe 20ft?) from a wall, turn them all on, and sit on the bike upright, figure out where the lights are shining against the wall, and adjust as necessary. I suppose you could put a block of wood or something under the kickstand to hold the bike upright and that'll let you be off the bike to adjust, but i haven't had to do it, so im just pulling from memory and just guessing
