Blinding on coming motorist

I have not used the PXC much at night at all so went for a good ride this evening with the majority of the trip being on country roads. I would say about 30% of oncoming cars were flashing me due to my head lights being to bright. They were definitely on main and not full beam. Is there a known issue with the headlights being set to high.... can they be angled lower at all?

You should be able to adjust them down, have a look in the manual.

Its an easy fix, mine was too low. Perhaps on a deserted road at night yours are too high and bright. For city I need them to notice me. Take a 10mm wrench with you and do it on the fly whilst finding something acceptable to mountain folk.

How do you get to the screw to adjust it? The drawing makes no sense

Homie.....you my friend are a legend. I really appreciate you doing that. Seeing that has made that picture make total sense now. Just like when you get a spooky pic and the caption is..."When you see it you will s**t a brick"
