Default Passing Lamp Adjustment

Can anyone give any simple easy tips to equally aiming or adjusting the passing lamps on a 07' Deluxe? I have one that seems to be aiming to high, but looks even when looking at them.

Found a few topics in search section, but seams they all apply to the tour models.

Thanks.

I'm not sure exactly what the passing lamps on a Deluxe look like....So I don't know if this will help.... but.....

The passing lamps on my Heritage adjust the same as the passing lamps on my Bagger.

You will need a special socket to reach the passing lamp nut, around the wires. Snap-on makes a special socket..

Or some people just get a 9/16 deep socket and cut a relief slot in it to accommodate the wires.

With special socket in hand, you drop the turn signal lamp, loosen the passing lamp bolt, adjust, tighten, and then reinstall the turn signal.

Not that difficult......
