The problem isn't the alignment it is that you seem to like running your high beams into oncoming traffic.

With the old dull incandescent bulbs riders left there high beams on to make sure oncoming traffic could seem them and to more fully light up the road. With the new very bright LEDs that is no longer necessary. Your low beam Day Makers are brighter and work better than your old high beams. Your new new high beams are an eye melting "LASER" to on coming drivers / riders.

Try operating your Day Makers the way they were designed to be operated. Align them properly and run you low beams in town or when there is oncoming traffic. Save your beams for deserted country roads / highways.

I hardly ever get flashed and I can see and be seen fine for night riding...

 

I am going to edit my original post because the wording is throwing ppl off. PPL were flashing me with my low beams on. I would never run HB into oncoming traffic--even with the stock.

 

I have the H-D Reflector LED and have not been flashed a single time. I run the high beam during the day (using common sense) when it's bright out and have not been flashed. Your headlight is adjusted way to high or to far left or both if you're getting flashed with the low beam only. Just adjust the headlight per instructions and you should be good too go. If the light needs a little tweak in adjustment to allow you to see better, tweak it some.

 

Yeah...I have driveway marked with tape, garage door marked with tape and gonna take my time and just do the static alignment again and go test. I was rushing last night

 

just do the right thing and lower them a touch.. and it is a ticket-able offense in damn near every state for failing to dim.. which can be used as a legitimate stop to see if you are drinking.. and the cop isn't going to care if its high beam or low beam..

 

I found aim them lower and light up every thing around you (which is ok) and you get less flashing.

 

Sorry, I didn't understand that.

I set my Day Makers so that if I am 50' behind a car the top edge of the light is about 6" below the trunk line of the car. Make sure you take having a passenger into account also.

 

If YOU are getting flashed (multiple times) and your running your low beams... simply put, they are TOO HIGH!

They need to be adjusted to spec (maybe a TINY bit higher.) You are BLINDING on coming traffic.

All the internet bad boyz will tell you to run them "where the hell YOU want to," but they aren't on the bike with you when your struck HEAD ON because you've blinded the SUV coming straight at you!

Blind me comin' down the road,and you"re the one that's gonna get a scare! Aim your lights like they're supposed to be,and slightly to the right. Run your high beam,and when someone flashes,DIM them.

 

**update***
They are G2G now. They were actually aimed a tad too much left. I focused so much on height last nite in my adjustments and didn't check left/right. I adjusted them to the right…to where the middle of high beam was bisected by my lines and took my low beam back up to the horizontal line---took it on a ride and the LB and HB were really nice. I even get a lil assistance with the HB now. I did another test with daughter sitting in the driver seat and she said they were fine---and she has a little Honda Civic, which is very low. So, to see that very painful head on spot light, you really have to squat down lower than where she would have been sitting in her car.

OH….yeah, I love them!!! I still like how they brighten up everything around.
