F3 Aux. lights install alternate method

[sidecarrick]

I have been reading all of the trouble you all have been having trying to in stall these lights. I came up with a solution. Remove the threaded adjuster rods first.

Then install them on the bike

Then lube up the heads of the threaded bolt and using a nutdriver , Tap them back on with a hammer.

I can already tell you the one in the last pic is installed on the wrong side of the bike.

Just went out and turned the light on and discovered that the beam was vertical instead of horizontal! Good thing I only installed one. Thanks for noticing my mistake.

Why do you say that? How can you tell? I have only installed one so far, better to discover a mistake now.

The bolts on the side of the lens housing are on the top and bottom rather than the sides and the lines on the front of the lense are horizontal. IE the whole housing is clocked 90deg. You will end up with the 'pillar of light' rather than a low wide beam.
