Roo Lite adjustment

Just had some 180 Roo lites fitted but the electrician discarded the instruction sheet. Just how adjustable is the spread on these lights? I note online that the beam can be adjusted by rotating the reflecors. Can this be done while the light is on so that you can see the effect? I'm not game to risk moving them when they are hot in case I blow something. There is a clip on the top of the lights but I can't get them to rotate easily and I'm not game to try to force the rotation too much. Any suggestions from those who have these lights?
Great beam though.

If they are they are the same as Lightforce, which they are supposed to be, then you just unscrew the lens, anti clockwise. Might take a bit of effort to break the seal at first. Not worth it in my opinion, its just a useless feature as the lens will unscrew itself and will come off after a while. Its best to leave them done up tight in a spot pattern.

I have a set of these

1) At first hard to turn - once you have done it once it seems to be a lot easier.
2) They do adjust right down to a Spot beam, but not really needed at our highway speeds. I agree with above, more likely to undo if you do this.
3) I leave them wound right in which gives the full spread and found this ideal
4) Best way to adjust ispark 6 m from a wall on flat ground and turn on high beam. Measure up to the center of the beam & mark center of beam location L & R. Cover lights and turn on the spotties. Adjust height of spotties (set straight forward to match high beam level. Turn both spottie beams slightly out (L to the left, R to the right) say 6". Some people like crossing the beams, that is turning the R one to point L and L to point R.
5) Find a lonely stretch of road and park. Turn on high beam and spotties. Cover headlights and see if you need to do a fine tune adjustment. If set on the wall I find this is not needed.

I have found on full spread beam that I can see well into the distance and at 110k have no issues picking up Cattle well in advance.

Cheers Tony.

Hmm. Now I'm not sure which way to jump, but thanks Tony and Mintoo for the feedback. When facing the lights, which way should they be rotated? Both directions seem very stiff to me and I don't want to force them in the wrong direction.

To the left or Anti Clockwise

Once you have them right, put a cable tie around the adjusting mechanism to hold the clip down tight - they will not unscrew then.
