    Dumb XB21 headlight question

    I am sure this is a dumb question. .. but here goes.

    When turning the adjustment knob.. are both lights supposed to go up or down?

    I ask because while installing g the Solix... I tried them for the first time and it seems that only the right one adjusts.

    Thx.

    Both should go up and down. My lights are not sealed very well. Water gets in the front of the boat from the lights (if in heavy waves or trailering in the rain). The lights are super easy to pull out. You may want to pull them and see if the adjustment bolts have become loose or if any corrosion has taken place .

    If you use them a lot I highly recommend the HID kit. It is amazing.

    I installed the HID kit as well but I had to have my wife crawl inside the center compartment to get everything installed from the inside

    Will the lights overheat if you keep them on for more than brief periods at a time?

    No. Mine are on a switch and I left them on one time for a few hours.
