I have a HD Day Maker Head Light and Day Maker HD Passing lamps. I found that properly adjusting the headlight is key to not getting flashed. I ride two up most of the time so I had to make the adjustment with my passenger on the bike. Once properly adjusted I have only been flashed a few times and I ride a ton of miles at night. You can find the instructions on adjusting a headlight in any HD service manual or I could post it here if you would like.

Actually the adjustment is different for the LED headlight vs halogen. The Daymaker comes with instructions that include adjusting the light. I can look for mine and post if needed.

Interesting, I did use the instructions that came with day makers but threw them away as I saw the same type of diagram in the HD Manual. I would asume all that you would need to post would be the specs for the height to make your cross on the wall. ( the horizontal line). Is it still done at 50 foot?

25 feet. I'll look for my instructions. Pretty sure I still have them. I'll double check against the service manual and report back.

Ok, I looked but couldn't find the instructions that came with the Daymaker. I did check the service manual and it covers both halogen and LED. Per the SM, there are 2 key differences. For halogen you adjust using high beams, for LED low and different beam patterns for each light.

Now I seem to recall the Daymaker instructions used both high and low beams for left/right and up/down respectively. I didn't see that distinction in the SM. If I find the Daymaker instructions I will confirm.
