LOL!

The adjustment only goes so far. I would recommend that you adjust them as far 'upward" as you can and try that first.

The headlights are known for being too low, so start on the highest available position and work your way down.

I wouldn't recommmend anyone going to higher wattage lights on the Cannondales unless you are running the dual battery setup. You need all the juice you can spare because if the battery goes below 11.8 volts, the computer will not have enough volts to operate properly. I keep mine on trickle charge all night before a race just to be sure that I have enough to do the entire race.

Forget the lights.

I went night riding w/ some friends a couple of weeks ago and I adjusted my lights down a little and even though I couldn't see anything directly infront of me, I could see everything about 20 ft. ahead... the cool thing is that the Dale is so fast that you need the light to point far out ahead because the stuff directly infront of you will be 100 ft behind you before you even notice it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]. See Cannondale designed it like that because the quads are just that fast. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

You gotta give the light a little head start or its just not fair.

Or maybe all that grass shredding power, combined with those state-of-the-art stock tires are aiming the lights, as well as the bumper up towards the sky?
