"Move both hex adjusters (left & right) sides equally CW to move the beam upward."


I turned my adjusters about 10 times each, CW, and the beam never moved. any thoughts?? thanks.

 

This is where the revised headlight mounting ring comes in handy

On the newer models, the black plastic ring the headlight bulb housings mount into have the bulb housing screws on the outside vs inside

With these screws you can remove one headlight bulb housing and if necessary adjust the upper headlight aiming screw without fairing removal.

Then you can reinstall the bulb housing and adjust the bottom two screws.

I always adjust the headlights with someone sitting on the seat to factor rear suspension sag into the adjustment process.

Daymakers once installed almost always require a bit of tweaking to get correct based on my experience installing 4 sets on my bikes and friends bikes.

Harbor freight has the 4.5 mm socket and the 3/16 usually in stock

 

Lowes will sell you a pair of 1/4" drive 4.5mm deep well sockets for less than $4 a piece and look there also for a couple of ratchets for maybe $6 apiece. Get a penlight flashlight you can hold in your teeth, or better yet a helper to aim the light. Find a empty or deserted road and have at it. Helper can put their fingers up against the housing to verify movement is happening when you are adjusting.

 

Thanks BJB. I just sit on the bike with the light beam pointed at my garage door so it would be easy to see the light beam move. I'll purchase the 4.5mm socket, but shouldn't I see the light beam move as I turn the adjusters?

 

You need two sockets to raise or lower the beam. Both turning the sam time.
I couldn't see enough movement in a garage setting. I just raised mine up a bunch and since I don't get flashed by oncoming traffic I am okay, IMHO>
I also have a HID kit installed so lots of light and focus.

 

I also installed the HID kit (wow!), but this is the first time I've ever heard of turning both adjusters simultaneously. so, turning each one independently doesn't work?? Thanks.

 

I did mine one at a time. Worked fine. Just count the turns to keep them even.
