adjusting the spots.....
Can someone tellme how to adjust the spot lights on each side of the headlight? Do you go in from behind the bulb somehow or can I possibly access it going up through the turn signal? Is there a swivel or something that can be adjusted...one of the lights shines right down on the ground in front of the bike.
HD sells a special tool, a socket with a slit cut in it that allows the lamp mount to be tightened (after adjustment) without mashing the wire. Some have also cut a notch into their own sockets to do the same job. Hope this points you in the right direction.
On a scale of 1 to 10 this job rates about a 6.
remove turnsignals. Allen wrench forget size. Forgive me I'm at work right now.
look up you willsee a wire and past that a 9/16 nut.
Made my own socket. Bought a Craftsman deep 6 point socket. UsedDremnel tool with cut off wheel. cut a slot in socket for wire. loosen nut just enought to move light.
spots should be adjusted shinning just be low low beam about 25 foot from a wall.
Had my wife help me with this one.
Have fun.

made my own socket too...what a pita to adjust. hope you have three hands. try to muscle 'em first. i put amber sealed beams on the ultra. they light up the ditches and trees about 75-100' out real good. run 'em during the day too. no mistaking me for anything BUT a motorcycle with amber spots
Snap On also make the same socket that Harle sells it retails for $42.
The "Arm Strong" method of adjusting might work, but if you use too much arm, the light is toast
