My OEM HID's are blinding every car that drives by. I never used to get flashed but now it's every car. I ended up having a friend come over to ride my Spyder in the light and dark. The beam pattern is terrible and was too blinding for me to look straight ahead. Can they be leveled correctly? Thanks!

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
OEM HID's blinding everyone!

This is for the GS/RS. Don't know what you have.
Sounds like you just need to adjust them down some.
Look for the little white palstic nut near the bottom of each light. 10mm if memory serves me. You have to remove the top side plastic then park the bike on level ground around 50 feet from a wall. Load it the way you ride it. Measure the height of your headlights from the ground.
turn on the lights to low beam. You should see a distinct light/dark line on the wall. Make sure that line is closer to the ground than the height of your headlights.

Adjust them in front of a shaded garage door, you can only go up or down. Adjust them down a little at a time with the curtain up{high-beams] so their both shining at the same height. In daylight driving, you might want to just run them on low beams as I have noticed riding ahead of Spyders with HID's how very bright and annoying they can be on high beams.

All you need is a really long screwdriver...don't need to remove anything on the bike to get to it...you can move the lights up and down only...
