F3 headlight adjustment

[kickinbar]

Hi all..I have a 2016 F3 Ltd and need to adjust the headlights. I can see a cable coming from the lights but I can't find the end. Do I need to take more plastic off??
Thanks..

Look in the manual that came with the bike, it showa the adjustment procedure.

It's just above the access panels on top. They are really hard to get to and the way they turn a 90 they are hard to adjust. We remove them from the stock mounting and let them hang when we change out to LED.

Suggestion....

Best way to adjust to your liking is for you to be on the spyder and someone else adjust the lights. Being alone most of the time I use cement bags to replace the wieght. The level will also change with a passenger . I miss the old days when I just leaned forward and smacked the head light to adjust it...:roflblack:

Just pop that clip off and push the adjuster through the hole and you'll be good. :doorag:

Just installed LED bulbs in my wife's 2019 F3-T and was trying to adjust them. Heads up, the cable actuated adjuster pictured earlier in this thread adjust the lights horizontally only. To adjust each light vertically you'll need to take a couple of panels off and use a ball end hex with an extension to reach the vertical adjustment for each light. 3 panels on each side need to come off, a bit confusing if it's your first time removing them.

RandyL, I had no idea we had vert and horz adjustment. I will have to recheck my alignment seeings how am being flashed by on coming traffic. So is the one shown in the Lamonster post the vert or horz???

I had to adjust my headlights on my '19 F3 LTD after installing LED's from Lamonster. The VERTICAL adjustment is way inside by the headlight itself. It's a WHITE nylon nut. I had to use TWO extensions to get at it. You don't need a ratchet, you can turn it by hand. I didn't know the headlights had a HORIZONTAL adjustment....
