Headlights are installed. very simple and I retained the original hardware. Now we have to adjust the lights.

I use 1° down & 1° right.
AT 20 feet on a level surface, this would be about 4 inches below the height of the headlight and 4 inches to the right of center.

HEY sounds like you need to stick to a dump truck with all those critters out there WE have deer all over I just smashed my truck hitting a deer at 65mph that wasnt any fun

I didn't know deer could go that fast.

I hope no-one was hurt.

Thanks for the advice 1olbull. Rain for the next four days. Saturday I am hoping to get the Rocket out and test the lights.

After work tonight or should say this morning I got the headlights adjusted. Took it out on the street and did some fine tuning. I turned the lights so a bit more shines on the shoulders of the road. More then happy with the lights. The county sheriff was a bit curious as to what the hell I was doing but he figured it out and let me be. We get a break in the weather today so I am looking forward to riding. The ride home will be a lot less stressful now that I can see.

Goodonya!
I would say my Daymakers added about 10 mph to my safe cruising speed in the dark.
Be caeful not to out ride your headlights at night.
Even with these good LEDs riding above 55-60mph in the dark (no ambient light) is dangerous.
You very likely cannot perceive a hazard, respond to it and brake within enough time/distance to avoid it.
