Bright Lights!?!?
I have a 2005 Road King Classic and when I ride at night especially on 2 lane roads, on coming cars flash their lights at me telling me my brights are on, but they are not. Does anyone else get flashed?
I am going to take it in to the dealer to have it checked.

RE: Bright Lights!?!?
Do you have your driving lights aimed up too high? They might be flashing you for them. Check with the dealer and make sure they are all aimed correctly. The driving lights go off when the high beams are on.
Good luck.

I used to get that, and it was indeed my spot lamps. Made a small adjustment to bring the left lamp more in line with the headlamp height, and adjusted the right one to illuminate the shoulder more clearly...haven't had anymore idiots flashing me. The spots appear very bright relative to other lights, but aren't blinding like a true brightbeam can be...people just like to pitch a fit.

RE: Bright Lights!?!?
Anybody know how to adjust spot lamps on a 04 classic, I have tried to but can not get at the nut on the bottom side, have removed turn lamp and exposed nut and hollow stud with wire thru it, tried hack sawing a slice in a 1/2" deep socket but must be wrong size, also tried twistingwhile holdinga large flat blade screwdriver to hold nut, just can't seem to get them tight. Thanks in advance for any help

I put the sylvaina silverstars in mine and I get flashed. Just gotta be quick with the trigger and flash them back. I want to get an airhorn for an added effect.
