    Is it possible to adjust the headlight? It points very high and I think it will be blinding drivers.
    New bulb is very bright. Don't want to go back to the dull yellow light I had before but will have to if I can't adjust it.
    Thanks for any info

    You can see the 2x adjuster's here diagonally opposite each other
    top right adjust's up/down, bottom left adjust's left/right,
    sometime's a combination adjustment of both is required to get them good.
    What new bulb's do you have ?

    I chucked in a Phillips lumiled led light. The amount of light it puts out is honestly rediculous. I am going to try find a dimmer model, but would like to know it can be done. Thanks for the help mate. I'll have a crack at adjusting it tonight.

    Are they the fanless one's like the pic below?
    They are really bright, i have one in my FZR too, i'll have to get some comparison pic's tonight and post on my thread.

    You could get something like this and mount it in a small abs box using a couple of rubber grommet's and some silicon to waterproof it.
    You'd need one for low and one for high beam's

    Or this one (dont think it's waterproof)

    Adjusted down perfectly. Thanks for the help.
    The light is amazing. I can actually see where I'm going now

    The one @murdman87 has used doesn't seem to have the small cut off reflector (reflection cup in pic above) to stop it from shining up into oncoming traffic
    If it was adjusted well it wouldn't shine up anyway's.
    I might try to trim mine back so it's flat like that other style, i reckon it'll be a lot better then

    No reflector on these ones. Be interested to see the difference with yours with regards to the light pattern.

    There's pic's on my FZR build thread on the last page atm,
    just click on the Red 1990 FZR250 3LN3 link in my signature, bottom of my post



    This is what the top of the light should look like when shown up against a wall, the bottom pic
    With these led's the light look's like the second pic (lhd)

    Thank you for this link. I ride at night a lot in a rural area. Love kangaroos/owls/foxes/rabbits/etc, also love my bike and skin so prefer to see them coming from a long, long way off! Ordered a set today; my husband's already co-opted the second one for his bike. :prankster:
