Yes I believe you might be correct the right-left headlight adjustment uses Phillips head screws but what I'm wanting to try to adjust is the up-down part , those adjusters are near the bottom rear of the headlight assembly, below the covers for removing headlight bulbs, look like a nut with gears attached, does anyone know what size-type wrench works there ? Just knowing the actual size would help.Davesax36 said:

8mm does it. I don't know why it's not a phillips screw but I used a mirror to check it. An 8mm nutdriver fits in there fine.Cycledude said:

My bad. This is, of course, correct.VRODE said:

Thanks a lot for the 8mm tip ! I used a 1/4 inch craftsman ratchet with a short extension and a 8mm socket, did it from the bottom front, turned them both 1/2 turn left and took it for a ride, seems better than it was, now I don't constantly have the feeling it should be raised more so I'm going to leave it like that at least for now.

Raising the low beam also raises the high beam though. I left mine where they were, still big improvement on low beam with increased spread and high beams are the tits and not blinding so you can run them constantly. I rode tonight for 2-1/2 hrs with high beams and didn't get flashed by a single driver. Heavy traffic also, 2 lane highway and I-10 interstate. My Rigid lightbar will now be my high beams. Just need to get a blackout sticker for that bright blue high beam indicator light, I don't want to see that constantly.Cycledude said:

Looks like Cyclops might have a new LED headlight kit for the Tenere that puts out 8,000 lumen , not sure but i think the kit i bought in August for $160 was 7,000 lumen, i am very satisfied with the kit i bought but just pointing out that the new kits are probably even better.

I just recently purchased their kit, and after seeing your post I went and pulled my receipt and found out I did receive the 8,000 lumen. I have them installed, but have not had a chance to get out in the dark and test them.Cycledude said:

I was wondering about the Cyclops. I received a replacement couple weeks ago and the packing list said 4,000 lumens but lined out and handwritten in 3,200.
So my kit purchased 4 months ago was 6,400 lumens not 7,000 as others stated. Cyclops knew this based on my purchase date I needed the older version to match my other light which is good. Especially since the reason for replacement was I had one go bad and only giving 50% or less illumination so lights imbalanced.
I will say Cyclops was outstanding with the warranty replacement. Kudos and much thanks to Bobby. One call, one email with the below photo and they shipped an advance replacement out priority the same day so I would receive it prior to my trip. They also included a prepaid call tag for the defective unit so they could get it back to evaluate it. Another very good thing.
Although light was installed only 3 months before failure that was prior to my summer travel so did have ~15,000 miles of use. So not DOA or an infant mortality really but an early life failure. I was still disappointed but their excellent customer service, warranty handling and light output keeps me happy about my purchase.

Looks like they are on backorder...Cycledude said:

I ordered a set yesterday (11-22-16) even though the web page said they are back ordered. Got a shipping confirmation today with a tracking number. Website still says they are on back order, though. They likely just haven't updated their web page.

Installed the new 8000 lumens LED's today. Website still says backordered! ???
Now my little marker bulbs look lame! Anyone got a replacement for them?

According to their web site, the bulb temp is 5600k, and each bulb is rated at 4000 lumens, so apparently they really do mean 8000 lumens, which I agree, is pretty extraordinary. For $175.95, almost makes me want to order a set. I like that it comes with new caps to cover the rear of the larger base/heat sinks too.OX-34 said:
