Minor update, finally got around to taking pics of my headlight modification.
I had some pre-drilled stainless strap laying around, pretty sure it was in the hardware kit for a basketball goal I put up recently, that I used to tilt the top of the headlight plate forward so I could adjust the headlight better.
Used the factory bolts plus some of the ones from the shipping crate to install.
Much better! Headlight isn't pointing off into the top of trees any more.
