aiming headlights...

Is there anyway to aim the headlights on the 4th gen max's? One of my headlights look like they are aimed higher than the other. Thanks

on the back of the headlight fixture there is two rods with black-plastic tips on them.

1) rod closer to the radiator is your left/right
2) rod closer to the fender is your up/down
screw-in for aiming up and unscrew for aiming down(lefty loosy/righty tighty)

nice ride!

Damn! Did this a few nights ago and must have confused the two adjuster rods! No wonder the lights didn't go down! Wasn't looking to see if they moved laterally but I'll definitely have to redo this. As is, it seems my lights leave very little light spray on the road--you have to be in a really dark place to see it.

Thanks for the info.
