Headlight/aux/foglight adjustments

[Trikesyke]

The owners manual explains how to adjust the stock lights, but it calls for two special tools. A socket for loosening the aux lights, to adjust them and some kind of ball ended hex bit to adjust the headlights. The procedure seems straight forward. Are these two tools readily available? Has anyone attempted adjusting these two lights (head and aux)? Also, is there a recommended procedure for adjusting the accessory fog lights I had installed on the highway bars?

Ball end hex available everywhere tools are sold. Socket for aux lights can be made by cutting slot in standard socket or purchased but pricey. Have to see your fog lights to help with that one. Good luck

Thanks Jim. That's one of the things I have seen in this forum; referring people to previous posts.

I made my own tool ... and sold a bunch at that time. Luckily I had access to a friend with a milling machine.

Snap-On sells it (Pic #2). You can also use a cutoff/die grinder to make one.
