Fitted, works good and looks great. Thanks Slipperyeel!
LED Headlamp adjuster

That's really. These headlamps really are great and genuine upgrade. Good timing for the winter!
Sorry to be stupid but any tips on setting up the tilt? Headlamp on or off? Where do I measure? Top of the beam? Top of the light filament? Level ground, wall, 5 meters and a 2.5% drop from where the lamp is to where the beam goes…
Anyway, they are random details I’d love to put together some of those facts into a plan
. Thanks

This is documented.
Replying off the cuff, but I recall roughly that the horizontal cut off should be: 5m from a wall, the cut-off line should be about 900mm off ground level.
Don't hold me to that, but it fits my memory.
Finding level ground with those distances could be tricky for some, maybe

Yes I read that. Luckily a level we l surface isn’t an issue. But am I using the horizontal cut off of the high or low beam? I sssume it’s low.
Either way it was very impressive driving through my works grounds last night on my way home. Extraordinary upgrade in light!

Hi Slipperyeel,
as I understood I'd first have to pay 19€ to upgrade my account to be enabled for PM'ing. Any alternatives to order? My contact is at the bottom of my homepage.
Addition: oops, I just noticed that the website address in my profile isn't shown here. So it obviously won't work, regrettably.

Hello Zebulon
Yes, the subscription is very much worth it. But you can also use finback at mac.com.
Postage to Germany is not much, I think on an international signed for it's about 14-15 GBP. There should be no duty/tax to pay since the value is far below the threshold.
This might help with the headlight set up: Link, there's a diagram part way down the page at 4.12Sorry to be stupid but any tips on setting up the tilt? Headlamp on or off? Where do I measure?

That looks great. Thanks a million.
I’ve adhd / ocd or something, i can be autonomous and make my own decisions BUT I much predate if some smart person has already worked stuff out and I can just try and get an A+ in my application of that. Any way.
One question that might be relevant and I think I’ll have to adjust my method
When using the adjuster, the headlamp securing bolts should be a little loose right? My are at torque which now seems wrong right?

I can't remember the exact sequence I used but I suggest you have the bolts a little loose to get the light about right, then nip the bolts up and check the adjustment again.
You've understood correctly. Though I think there is a sweet spot, with just enough tension on the two side bolts that the adjuster can overcome. Remember that when the adjuster is fitted, it is actually the adjuster that's holding it all, so the side bolts act as a pivot points - so you want enough tension to keep them there but enough for you to reach in and adjust if needed.
In the end, with three contact points, it should all be quite stable. The adjuster components are made so they behave a little like a nyloc nut. Hence the wheel is a little stiff to turn - but it turns!
I’m in work tomorrow
