OEM Headlight adjustment??

[Imagery]

I have been noticing that my headlight pattern is not evenly spread as before. And with High beams especially, the light seems to be concentrated toward the left DS. I think the height adjustment for the fixture or lens housing is correct with adjustment of the screws and looking at the levels. This morning, I was straight in front of the garage door and looked at the pattern. Low beams are good but High beams has the Left DS hitting just above the low beam and the right PS is aimed left towards the center. How can I adjust just that part without moving the housing? I checked to see that the socket was mounted correctly in the fixture and it appears to be right but the beam still wants to look toward center. Any ideas would be helpful.

Hmmmm.. Well, I guess this might be a subject which nobody has any thoughts about. I just wondered how to make the adjustments to the head lamps and how or where exactly they should be directed. I believe that the head lamp assembly is all one piece so the individual light reflectors cannot be seperately adjusted. I did have to replace one on the DS about 5 years ago because a rock cracked the lens and they run about $100. It would be cool if there was an upgrade avaliable for the 80's head lamps to something like the clear lens, optomized reflector that come on the new cruisers as well as many others......

I don't believe they can be adjusted independently. If I had to guess for some reason your bulb came out of alignment. Try another bulb (swap side to side) and see if it helps.

Has anything changed on your rig? As in slight fender bender? Mine has changed significantly every time I change the suspension too. It also changed when I put the HIDs in.

Headlight Adjustment

Well, I did install new bulbs a couple years ago. They are 65/100 Hella abd I installed the wiring harness upgrede as well. So, yes the bulbe have been changed and could be not properly seated but I don't think this is the case. I will check the bulb installation and make sure they are straight. It is really no big deal but I sometimes just get critical and like to have everything set up right. I remember when my cruiser was brand new, I was impressed by how bright and broad the coverage was on this stock vehicle. The ARB Bull Bar did end up blocking some of my side illumination but I have gotten used to that. I'll check it out and post my findings.

Thanks guys
