just wondering if there is any way that you can adjust the 2 big lights next to the headlight on my rkc? one of mine seems to be aimed way off, is there and adjudtment someplace?
thanks

Get a firm grasp and push/pull/twist it.

 

come on really?

 

That's exactly how I adjusted mine.

 

Using a long shank ball end socket (Snap on FABL5), remove two screws to release the turn signal lamp from the mounting bracket. Use the hole in the passing lamp bracket to access the inboard screw. Insert flare nut socket (Snap on FRX181, about $35 if I remember right) at the bottom of the turn signal mounting bracket and loosen locknut on stud. Adjust, retighten to 18 ft lbs. Re-Install turn signal.

or, remove the turn signal, cut the wire going to the lamp, use a regular socket to lossen the nut and adjust lamp, reconnect wire (solder is best to keep from vibrating apart) and cover with heat shrink, or good electrical tape.

or, twist the lamp and hope you don't break, strip, anything.

 

Rather than buying the Snap On flare nut socket I bought a 9/16" deep socket from the pawn shop for 1.00. I then used a dremal tool cutting wheel to cut a slot in the socket that would allow the socket to be used with the wire in place.

I can get a picture of my socket if anyone needs to see what I am talking about.

I thought about trying something like that. Never thought to use a Dremel. I'd like to see the picture if it's not a problem. George

 

Great idea - I have seen the special tool and your idea take a pain in the butt job and make it a lot faster.... good work...

 

I did mine about two weeks ago, billnourse is 100% right. If he can't get you a pic I can send you one. Just just cut that slot in the socket 3/4 down the socket.The slot that youre going to cut in the deep 9/16 is for the wire. So you don't have to cut it, remember not to the pinch that wire. just take your time.

 

Here is the socket that I made for the lights.



Here is a pic of the socket inside the turn signal housing.



Hope this helps.
