RE: [ST] Problems with stock lights?

["Heyer, Matthew A." <mheyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've never known - when the bike is 25' away from a wall, what is the
measurement for proper low beam adjustment?  Thanks.

I too tried the Philips Vision Plus bulbs (gotta order from powerbulbs.com I
think it was, they are not available in the US) and they seemed good to me.
However the low beam on one burned out somewhere just shy of being 10k miles
old.  I replaced both with the new Sylvania Silver Stars, supposedly their
version of the Philips bulb.

So far so good, but the biggest thinkg that helped was adjusting the beams
to the proper height.  When I did the prescribed check against a wall 25'
away, I was lighting the point it hit the floor real well, they were set too
dayum low.  Setting 'em right made a big difference.
