how do you adjust the headlights on the marauder? i see one adjustment screw but it looks like the left/right adjustment. i need to bring them up. they hit the ground about 10 feet in front of the car and i can't see anything at night. anyone know?

I would also think you'd want the rear suspension inflated.

nope they only adjust up and down. i actually just did this because i couldnt see crap at night either, i would ride around with the hibeams and that was marginal at best. wait untill its dark, back away from your garage or house or w/e building is around and turn it one way and you will see the beam move. its very simple.

The headlight aiming procedure is also in the owner's manual.

ABC or maybe other local FLAPS market a headlight adjustment tool. Cost is around $10.00. Sometimes they are in stock sometimes not. It consists of a 4MM OE wrench embedded in a 10 inch wand (more or less). It's adjusts the headlights up or down. Better than button down shoes.

My craftsman combo wrench worked just fine for adjustment can't remember what side i used but it was my 3/16-5/32 wrench.
