   have noticed that on my vts since i got it my headlight beam is aimed so that i can see about 20-30ft at best (and not much better when on full beam) so obviously need to adjust them upwards - ill be honest in saying i havent actually looked at the headlights themselves yet but as there isnt a little switch in dash to electronically higher and lower the beam am assuming there must be adjustment on the lights themselves somewhere?? am getting myself a manual next payday in 3 weeks as not really mechanically minded - i prefer wiring stereos and speakers instead lol!!

   not 100% sure mate but think the grey bits on the back of the lights may adjust them i played with these few days be4 my mot and it failed due to the light not bein level. but hopefully some1 might confirm this
