Adjusting headlamps?
Discussion
Hi guys,
Can the headlamp alignment on the new type lights be adjusted?
On mine, main beam lights up the sky, not the road. Any ideas?
Also, as well as the usual mod of running the lights from the battery via a relay, I thought of modifying the light controller so that on main beam, all lights stay on.
I can do this when I install the new relays, but I wonder could it be done with the existing light controller.
If I knew which relays controlled dip and main, the addition on a simple diode would do it.

Had the sam problem on mine !
Remove the front wheel(s).
Unscrew the blanking plate at the front of the wheel arch (3 Phillips self-tappers).
Reach through to the bulb-holder which has three,long adjustment screws at 120 degree intervals.
Adjust to your heart's content.
And just to mention the bleeding obvious ... if you jack her up to get the wheels off, don't forget to take that into account when setting the beam height !

Mr Cerbera, that was going to be my post, but i re-read it and i think its the new 'pod' type / speed 12 / type R conversion that the problem is with? Not sure, my apologies if i am wrong 
The old Cibbie type lamps are cerntainly done this way though, along with cut wrists, scraped knuckles and many expletives. Particularly if one of the adjuster screws falls off the reflector
