I need to adjust the headlights on my 2020 RT.I'm looking to make the vertical adjustment which is explained in the owner's manual & appears to be very simple. I'm a Hands-On guy took apart the mirrors as per the owner's manual. There is no adjustment screw. I have looked at and gone over this peered down every hole & crevice with LED light. I can't find the adjustment screw it shouldn't be that hard! I have a feeling the manual is wrong. Has anyone else done this? The headlights are definitely to low for night driving.
We haven’t messed with them yet and I tried to attach copies of the service manual but I can’t get them to load. It looks like you access the horizontal adjustment through the glove box!

My shop service manual says the"Headlights Vertical Aiming Adjustment, the low and high beam adjustment is done simultaneously.
The illustration shows the left mirror when sitting on spyder
1) first remove the mirror trim, on Australian models unplug the flash connector.
2) remove the screw on the end of the mirror housing
3) slightly pull the mirror to make more room
4) using a Phillips screwdriver, turn the headlight adjuster to adjust the headlights vertically
for horizontal adjustment, as Ann stated is accessed through glove box.
if this book page photo below is copyright protected I will remove if asked to
I know it looks simple there is no adjustment screw there!!!... or I'm blind!
They show the picture of a mirror with a signal in it the 19 and 20 don't have a signal in the mirror.
It's there. In the photo my mirror is removed for clarity. You don't need to remove it to adjust the headlights. The white plastic screw is the vertical adjuster. The shop manual shows the 2020 Australian RT. They have turn signals in the mirror housings. We don't get them.
It's not there if it was that easy I would have never started this post. You can look down that hole with an LED light all day long and there's no adjuster.

I agree. Mine doesn't have it either.

Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people...... but our benefits don't?
Wow. I believe you, but there must have been some production change. Near as I can tell, my bike was built on or after 26 Feb., due to a bunch of stickers on various pieces with that date. Mine definitely has the adjuster. I gave it a quarter turn clockwise and could see the difference on the garage wall.
Isnt it that blue screw in the picture?? I guess some dont have one?? The way it sounds
Yes. It's actually a bluish/gray. I was using an led headlamp to take the photo with a cellphone, so the color is a little off. But the point is, it's there, and turning it clockwise raised my headlights. I wonder if it's possible that the adjuster could be dislodged from that location and that's why the other guys can't find it, or, was there a production change?
Found it! You have to look down that hole at a 45 degree angle forward and it's sunk down there about 4 in. With no description or explanation the picture is very deceiving or maybe some of them are right up at the opening.
