light aiming?

[Eric_H_E]

installed light on our 05? txt. n they are good and bright, but aimed high. any ideas on how to adjust them ?

Taller shackles on the rear springs? I don't think there are any adjustments on those. You either cut them right, or you're stuck with it. But let's let some others confirm.

i was thinking about something like that. may be necessary in the future. am planning a convertable back seat-bed so may want a little more lift or stiffer springs for carrying a load

I can't tell from your pictures, but some of those style of lights have a phillips head screw just under the light which can be used to aim the lights higher/lower as needed. Could give that a try.

This makes it sound complicated, but it is simple.
Mine are very well aimed and light the road up nicely.

I tried that way, but cut them loose a few weeks after. Good idea, and seems to have worked good for you, but not a good fix for me. I didn't like the "pulled in look" it gave the front of the cart. There's got to be another way to adjust them without having to disfigure the front of the cart. I'm thinking about loosening the mounting screws (to the body) and put something between the body and the headlights at the top to tilt them down somewhat. I'll report back on that.

Oh course, another way is to add some auxiliary lights and point them to the road and then you've got your road and squirrel hunting lights.

It does change the shape of the nose.
Did it bring the lights into alignment for you when you tried it?
I also mounted a single Hella fog light to the front tow mount and that is awesome for out in the woods. (pics after work)
It would be nice to figure out a way to adjust these light kits that kept the stock look. No washers or gaps at the top of the lamp assembly, or flat nose etc.

My lights look like they were auto fog lights, they have a mounting tab on the back that looks like it was intended for bumper mounting. i was thinking about a turnbuckel between the back of the light and the floorboard or some support member in the front end to pull the light back a little. Just have not crawled under to take a look yet.

had not thought about turning the light over. may try that first. Thanks for the ideas.

I just installed a complete Red Hawk brand light kit (LGT-304) a few weeks ago. The lights are on a two point pivot and are raised or lowered with a phillips screw between the headlight and turn light. The ultimate wiring kit (LGT-344) is terrific! Everything (turn signal, horn, head lights, tail lights and brake lights plugged in easily and everything worked the first time. Check out www.golfcart.com.
