Hey guys I have a tao tao powermax 150. When headlights are on "low beam" there's just not an adequate amount of light being splashed onto the road. When "high beam" is on the light is aiming skyward and provides no light on the road although it does seem to be throwing out bright light. Anyone have any experience with this?? I would love to point the high beam down slightly as it seems bright. Any ideas.....M

Hi Theres no way to adjust the angle easily, you can try to jury rig something But i would just get higher powered bulbs for both high and low I went with 45/40s on my Puma www.partsforscooters.com/Head_light_bulb-40-45wThen you should have very good coverage at both high and low settings Take care and ride safely Yours Hank |

There is an adjustment screw on the bottom of the headlight cover. It does not adjust side to side though.

Would there happen to be an adjustment screw for the milano style bodies? the spread is really good, but just a couple degrees higher and it could light up way more road. i have the manual for my TNG milano 125 but nothing says anything about adjusting the headlights in there.

Every headlight should have SOME sort of adjustment to it. You may have to remove the plastics to find the adjustment screw. Even my '86 Honda Spree has two adjustment screws on the headlight.

i had this problem with my chinese 150 gy6. adjusting them to there lowest point my low beams were were my high beams should of been and my high beams were landing planes. read somewhere that the chinese do this cause there more worried about traffic seeing you than you lighting up the road. a jimmy rigged it by inserting washers between the light housing and the ferring or whatever its called. theres 3 sets of 2 screws holding mine on. i put 6 washers each in the lowest set of screws and three washers each in the middle set of screws and no washers in the top set to tilt it down even more. it worked and now my headlights are actually on the road.

Just an update for those with the milano style bodies , the adjustment nut is right underneath the headlight, just loosen it and adjust by moving the nut to where you want the light to be. i didnt notice it until i took my front plastics off paint, now i have much better lighting.
