Ya, HID's help b/c the beam is more spread out, but the high and low beams are still spread really far apart -- too far.
I remember a guy here on TY4 installed a dial that he could turn to adjust his headlights. May want to search for that.

Check the "sticky" on this site. It describes using washers to shim out the light and move the high and low beams closer together.

headlight fix
hers hoping Yamaha has a good fix, alot could use it, seems Yamaha would have a liability issue from anyone crashing a sled at night.

I understand you can get them cheaper than Snowdog's/ Sled Start's price. But I'd only buy HID's from him. The reason is his excellent cust service. I bought 3 sets from him lsat spring.
HID's can be finicky. I'd never not have them bc they are awesome, but they can be finicky. It's well worth it to go with Sled Start (Snowdog/ Kurt) because he is there if you have any problems. I had a few bugs and he mailed me a new part asap no questions asked. And he religiously returns calls for questions. You won't get that great service many other places.

I thought this was fixed. So even the new sleds (Apex) still have this problem

Here is the sticky : http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=48253
I've never performed this myself, but it seems to work for some.

Here is the thread about the guy who added his own adjuster. This looks the best way to fix it IMHO....
