Has anyone else had this trouble??

He had to change the mountings slightly to allow the bad boy bonnet to not touch the lights when the bonnet is closed.
We have used all the adjustment on the units to no avail, still too high!
Has anyone else with morettes and a bad boy had similar trouble? And how did u fix it??

I had this problem without having the badboy bonnet!

In the end we had to put cable ties round the lamp unit and then thread it thorugh the bonnet slam pannel above the light units to force the beam down.

Ah i getcha m8, maybe i can do this, was it just a temporary measure or did u leave it like it??
As my mates say my lights are dazzling due to the angle and its not good for other road users as is.

Left it like it. The cable ties are under tension so they won't come off and it passed the MOT.

As they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
