08 APEX. Anyway to adjust the headlights? If not I am just going to put some tape underneath 2 of the three clamps to lower them. Highs are in the bush.

There is a bolt with a Phillip head screw in the middle of it in the lower right side in the back where the bulbs go
I have installed a remote headlight adjuster on my sleds. Simply JB weld a 10mm socket onto the adjustment screw on the back of the headlight. Attach 10-12" flex extension to the socket and top it off the extension with a thumb ratchet.
You can adjust the headlight on the fly.

Now that sounds useful!!I have installed a remote headlight adjuster on my sleds. Simply JB weld a 10mm socket onto the adjustment screw on the back of the headlight. Attach 10-12" flex extension to the socket and top it off the extension with a thumb ratchet.

You can make two of these for about $30 form PA. One 1/4 drive and one 3/8 drive.
PA sells the extensions in two packs (1/4&3/8)
Individual sockets and a pack of 3 thumb ratchets (1/4,1/8 and 1/2)
I plastic dip the thumb ratchet in black which also makes it a non-ratchet. Easier for adjusting. Right up, left down

Pics and steps of the adjuster that I made. This has been done before by other members.
I have put a slightly different spin on it but it does the same as the others.

That's a neat idea. Sitting on the machine which way do you turn to raise or lower the lights?
