On a bike where the headlight turns with the bars, I was at first baffled as to why Honda thought this adjustment was necessary. But the more I thought about it, I guess it makes good sense. Even if they attempted to make them perfectly straight from the factory, could there be a margin of error? This allows each bike to be adjusted to a suitable or desired precision.

Though I hate to admit it, I found this adjuster screw by accident. When I first went to disassemble the lamp to install the LED, I started here first.
After turning and turning and turning for what I found to be much too long of a time, there it was.....my headlamp was awkwardly turned hard to the left.
Definitely one of those "ah ha" moments.
