Default Couple headlight questions....... 1200N related

Allright, I'm stumped. I would really like to get some more height out of my headlight, as the low beam is stupid low, and the high beam sits about where the low beam should be, but I'll be damn if I can figure out how to adjust it. Side to side is pretty easy, but I'm not seeing where the adjustment for up and down is. Can someone throw a guy a bone. I searched, but for some reason me, the site and the search feature aren't seeing eye to eye right now........


Also, has anyone ever given thought to running dual headlights, like the Fat Bob or a *cough* Buell Lightning setup? I dig the look, but looking at the bottom of the tree's, I don't see how I'd get it done without taking the whole damn front end off to drill the mounting holes out. Thank you HD for the top mount light, it's awesome. [:@]

Anyway, input/feedback/instructions/slap upside the head all welcomed and appreciated.

TIA!

Rob

Hay cree, there is a top light shade built into most of&nbsp\\; the new hi/low bulbs today.&nbsp\\; What they do is when on low the chop off the top of the light so it does not go outward very far and blind oncomein cars.&nbsp\\; If you adjust this light up it takes the hi beam off the road then.
&nbsp\\; Best alternitive is another set of hiway lights.&nbsp\\; Something like on the road kinds or Ultras.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; They do make some preaty small bright lights that mount on crash bars ect.&nbsp\\; Y a might try the Advbike forum the off road guys really love extra lights..
