New Baja Designs LP6 DOT headlights initial review and issues

[Snow1er]

What distance di you measure from the ground to aim them? Center dot minus 2 inches or did you use the old standard of 34 inches at 25 ft?

I did 2inches below reference height at 25ft. That is what their video recommends.

Dang, took quite a few washers

I did thicker nuts for the top two frame mounts so i wouldnt drop them as easily. I added washers to the spring on top also since I picked up some 50mm bolts, this seemed to work well and it let me back out the bottom a little so they were not 100% compressed.

I really like how those riv nuts turned out. I might switch over to them and a locking feature on the other face.

I don't know why, but I am still having aiming issues

I checked measurements again and at 25ft I am 4inches over level. 51in vs 47in. That puts my lights almost 5ft above level at 400ft.

So this is with the two top mounting bracket locations shimmed with thick nuts and the bottom two springs fully compressed.

I am looking for M6x1.0x60mm bolts for at least the top and maybe all of them so I can get it to aim down a little more.

If I can find them in town I'll report back tomorrow or later tonight.


Also if you call and report it to them they will send you another set of brackets to try. The person said mine didn't look right but didn't specify anything ofther than the little nuts snapped off. I agree there is design changes they need to make adjustability cover a larger range and the mounts more durable.
