    Default Lowering the rear & headlight adjustment

    We're thinking about lowering the rear of the RT 3". I'm curious if anyone can tell me if the low beam adjustment actually lower the bulbs, or is it the shudder effect to cover the bulb.

    I realize it is mechanical.I've has the light baskets out when I installed the HID's. What I can't figure out is how the lights are adjustedup and down together, since they seem to be hard mounted to the body. I guess it will be trial and error. Thanks for the reply

    if youre looking to adjust the headlights there is a adjustment screw on ea side of the spyder you remove the panels that have can-am on it and there is a brass looking tall screw near the top.

    ??? The right and left sides are not adjusted up and down together, they have separate adjustments. If you are talking about the high and low beams, there is only one bulb and one adjustment for North America. On low beam a shutter merely covers the upper part of the lens.
