Default Adjusting Headlights

How do I adjust the aim of the headlight (non XR)

Orange knob adjusts up/down but how do I move left/right?

The best person to talk to is "the dok"
or http://www.theheadlighthospital.com.au
if you do a search on this site for the modified AU headlight thread, you will find his contact details.
There is also an adjustment diagram as well, i can't recall off the top of my head where it is though.
Hope that helps.

I'm going off memory here, but I'm 90% sure my Forte lights had 2 adjusters. There should be another smaller dark grey/black knob that moves the reflector in or out (thus moving light left to right).

There is a phillips head screw adjustment for left and right buried down beside the light and accessed thru a hole for the screwdriver. Hole is in the body work, on the outside of the light and close to the front of the light, screwdriver goes in about 10-15 cm at about 20 degrees from vertical. If you get your head own low enough you can see the screw on the left side light, battery gets in the way on right. Let me know if you need a pic. From memory clockwise is adjust to right and a lot of turns need to make noticeable difference
