Can't fix stupid... Need some help with adjusting 2013 RSS headlights please

Ok, it seemed to be a fairly simple task ... adjusting the headlights. Evidently I'm missing a key piece of information. Which way do you do you turn the adjustment screw to make the headlights go down?

I found this thread http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?38461-Headlight-Adjustment but I guess it's one of things everyone knows (like the sky is up... the ground is down kind of thing).

2nd question: When you screw it too far and things go pop pps: how hard is it to fix? (and how expensive?)

Let's see..!!

I see you found where to adjust (little holes under the headlights). So tighten (clockwise ) brings the beam down loosening (counter clockwise) brings the beam up. You should put weight on the seat to equal yours or have someone sit on it or you will be adjusting hopping on and off repetedly. Level surface 35 feet from a wall what I don't remember is the heigth..think it was 27"...:thumbup: Its in the manual...

Thanks for that. Very much appreciated. Screwed the right one clockwise too far. Any suggestions? (other than let someone with more sense work on my bike?)

If it will not back out again you may have to remove the bottom half of the faring to get to the headlight housing. Then put pressure on the backplate to get the threads lined up. Never been there :dontknow:
