Default 2014 LED Headlight way too low

I've adjusted it as high as it will go, according to the manual it's still too low. Anybody experienced this?

At 25', pointed at the wall, the top of the beam is 8-10" too low.

Take the trim ring off, ride it at night and take your allen with you.

Mine adjusted as high as it would go without touching the left or lower right screws and worked well.

If that doesn't work, you can bring the one at 4 O'clock and the one at 9 O'clock out a bit.

I highly recommend removing the trim ring first... 10 second job.

Saf has it right. Following a suggestion found here, I turned the 2 side adjuster screws out equal amounts to raise the beam after bottoming the top screw.

Yes, loosen the 3 and 9 position screws as mentioned above and the headlamp will tilt up a bit more. Had to do the same to mine.

That did it...loosening the side screws raised the beam. Thanks!

If you have'nt already...get the flash done to run the auxiliary lights on high beam too. Makes a world of difference. Still think, I'm going to add the day maker fog lights too, as I still have a dead zone in between.

By "flash" I'm guessing you can have the dealer do this? This works on the 14's? That would make a world of difference as I feel the single center light by itself is just pathetic on high beam.
