Default Head light adjustment???

Any advise on how the adjust my head lights on my FFR?
I see nothing on the back side and can't get the front bezels off to look for adjustments there.
The bezels look like they should twist off but I don't want to break it.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Dan

Dan, Is there a screw at 6:00 on the bottom of the bezel?

I thought most had a screw at 6.00 as Dan said and once that was removed they could be pulled out at the bottom and unhooked from the top edge. It's got to pop on or twist on?

Glad we could help.

DWRAT, they haven't answered your question. Park your car on a level surface ( when it's dark outside) and use a yard stick to measure. Park the car 25 feet from the garage door or flat surface, that is the headlights need to be 25' from the surface. Turn the lights on and go up to the door or surface and measure up 24" ( that's 2 feet). Adjust the headlights so that each main light is at the 24" mark. You will have to drive it on the street next to determine if the lights are correct on a left to right plane. Your right beam should be just left of or right on the white line on the street. The left light should be near the left line on the street. It is kinda' difficult to explain this but I know you and I know that you can think this out. After you are finished, have someone drive in front of you and make sure that your lights are not pointed too high or too far to the left.

Hey Ralphy, you're a funny guy with a red Cobra, are you sure you're not my other brother Ralph?

DWRAT, while you're at it, replace the 3 flimsy clips that hold the light into the housing. The clips bend easily and then the sealed beam becomes loose and out of alignment. Just cut 3 tabs from steel, drill a hole and remount with same screws. Search FFCobra for pics if this doesn't make sense.
Then, like John says for alignment.
