Ummm, is it me, or is the obvious answer being missed?
Check your headlights, and make certain that they are adjusted properly. Especially if you have a lift.
These lights are NOT too bright. If you're getting flashed, then there's something wrong.
BTW, I just orderd one of these;
Model Number MUL-4-C sealed, all-glass 80 watt lamp produces 2,750 Lux of illumination at 25 feet. The lamp is rated at 12 million candle power

Haha too funny, 450 kms on my rubi and last night some guy flashed me about 5 times then I finally turned on my brights. I bet he got a shock. Another thing, I have a 4 door, with tow package, and it seems like the highbeams are tilted too high. The regular lights are fine, but the highbeams I could see in some fog the beams go up and together like its cross eyed.
I dont suppose the highbeams can be adjusted seperately from the lowbeams huh? Oh, and mine is bone stock. So its not lifts. They are jsut good headlights I think.

Thor Spot lights
Hey guys do a google search for the Thor Cyclops. I bought one for search and rescue. Its 20 Million candle power and tuns off a 12 volt dry cell battery like in emergency exit signs and also with a 12v power plug off the vehicle battery. Talk about a sunburn. The only brighter search light I have found is made by Bell Aircraft for search lights on helicopters. I couldn't convince the wife I needed a 15,000 dollar search light for the new JK. HAHAHA Chris

Every f-ing night!
I get flashed every time I drive. It doesnt help I have 6 inches of lift and 37's. I also have the LoD front bumper with the stock fog lights and they line up with on-coming traffics line of sight...too bad! Usually its a sissy in a mini-van or station wagon that flashes. I just laugh it off.

Yeah, happens regularly. I have no big tires or lift. If they are perisitent, I will pull my high beams for a second, but I never blind them like some try to do me. I dunno, doesn't make a lot of sense...if I am in a car and your lights are blinding me and I put my high beams on to blind you in return...just seems sort of dangerous...both of us hurtling through space on a near collision course at a combined speed of somewhere around 100 mph and all we can see is each other's headlights...yeah, thats smart on my part

Right on - I've heard of people playing "chicken" in the old days by rushing headlong at each other, and the first to swerve loses... that's DUMB, but I can't even imagine if you turned "chicken" into "bat" by rushing headlong at each other BLIND.

I'm sorry - your brain and common sense are outweighing your testosterone and retaliatory spirit... please steer yourself to the nearest Man-shop for an immediate adjustment. :toung: Right on - I've heard of people playing "chicken" in the old days by rushing headlong at each other, and the first to swerve loses... that's DUMB, but I can't even imagine if you turned "chicken" into "bat" by rushing headlong at each other BLIND.

I did the manly thing yesterday and changed my own oil while it was still hot...plus I didn't mention that I flick boogers on the windshields of those who pull their high beams and leave them on as they pass.
