you mean the bolts at the 'ears'
as you might know and see they make the light go up or down = horizontal

Just in cas, you never know.vRolleyes

Didn't notice the rim pivoting horizontally, although I clearly see that now. However, I also don't understand how the horizontal adj has anything to do with the vertical adjustment.

it has nothing to do with it Smile I was just mentioning that there are 2 adjustment options for the direction of the headlights.
Adjust up and down at the 'ears' its horizontal

Left to right adjustment is vertical....

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.

indeed, i thought it was funny when i discovered that tweak option Smile

I accidentally discovered it too when removing the headlight assembly Smile

Man, I really misread this thread. When you said

"So it allows a vertical adjustment rather than the known horizontal adjustment."

I thought you were talking about that screw allowing a vertical adjustment.

my bad

English, tough language
