Aiming Alining Headlights

[icprey]

I had to remove the headlight mounts last night because someone had rewelded them backwards on my new/used machine. I'm wondering if I should put them back on completely straight or can anything be gained by putting some sort of cross pattern in there. I think I remember reading about desert racers who shine one staight forward and down a bit for up close and then the other higher up for distance.

 

Do the stock headlights allow for any up/down left/right adjustment or are pretty much one position only? Not a big deal but I've got to put them back so I have the option if it's worth it.

 

Thanks

I have the PIAA headlights from RickyStator and they are super bright especially compared to stocks. When I night ride I aim one down in front and the other ahead, I can see at a good distance where I can fly atnight and leave my friends behind. I say give it a try and see what you like. If you trail ride a lot, I would reccommend aftermarket lights. I think stocks can only adjust up and down.

Thanks for the info. I welded one slightly inset and the other pretty straight. I'm talking very slight here, so it may not even show up, but I did this because I REALLY want a set of those Ricky Stator lights, so I want the mounts to work for them. I'll see how it turned out when the machinr is put back together.
