Horizontal Headlight Adjustment

[Vanderwho]

There's plenty of discussion here on how to adjust the headlights vertically, and I'm working on getting that dialed in. But, based on what I'm seeing (or, actually, NOT seeing) when cornering, I suspect the lights need to be adjusted horizontally. Can anyone clue me in to how to do so?

Thanks in advance...

I can't verify for the '14 or '15 models, but for the '12 & '13 model, the horizontal adjusters are above the light wells, just to the outside of the center-line through each well.
To adjust in, turn both CCW - out, CW.

Hmmmm. Looking at the back of what I think you're calling light wells... i.e., from the rider's position, I've got nothing that looks like an adjuster to the OUTSIDE of the vertical centerline. Just to the INSIDE of the vertical centerline, and above the light wells, there's something with what appears to be a rubber cap over it. Haven't explored further yet, except to remove one of the round light well covers and peer briefly inside...

From driver perspective for right headlamp adjuster is to right of breather vent cap you described vica versa for left headlamp. This adjuster adjust horizontal axis. The vertical axis adjuster is a bugger to find but is directly below bulb change access cap (easier too feel than see) at each respective lamp. This info is from 2014-15 service manual. ::025::

Thanks, Wyo. I've gotten pretty good at the vertical adjustment using a phillips screwdriver from underneath. I'll look tomorrow for the horizontal adjuster you described.

The best way to adjust the headlights is to remove the pod, then turn each screw, left & right, IN four full turns.

I did this on both my '14 & '15. It's way too much bullshit trying to do it from underneath.
