I had some girl (in the pass seat of her boyfriends Honda) try to aim the rearview into MY eyes (not my fault he drives a chick car!) so I kindly and quickly flashed the hi's to show I wasn't doing it on purpose. She then cussed and flipped me off (enter:roadrage) so I flipped on the hi-beams and followed em for about 3 stoplights getting as close as possible at every stop. She was goin off (could hear her yellin) but you could tell he was hopin I'd turn off without confrontation (I'm a pretty big dude > good thing he didn't realize I'm a wuss!!! haha).
But for the most part, I have been in front of mine in a smaller car and the lights seem to be aimed fine and aren't too bright. I don't know... guess it depends on the situation.

This is a very interesting topic...
I just bought my 07 Wrangler X from the dealer..was driving it home and noticed us getting flashed quite a bit. The thing is stock..no lifts..no modifications. I would assume that the lights are aimed correctly. Glad to see it isn't just happening to me. Maybe when I DO lift it the flashing will stop since my lights will be OVER the other cars. We'll see..

hmm..
i havent had anyone flash their lights at me. i agree with some other opinions, though.... the low beams are good... the high beams are merely "ok".
When i drive with the fog lights on, i feel like there is a lot of glare into the cabin. The whole interior lights up when I have the fog lights on. they are VERY effective, though. Mine light up a normal 2-lane road from woodline to woodline.
Lighting is always I pay alot of attention to, as my wife gets nervous in some vehicles when driving at night when she can't see very well. The worst we ever had was a Caravan and Voyager.. the best was a 88 BMW 325. You could see for miles in that car.
She hasnt complained about the JK, though.

I drive to work in the dark so most of the time when someone flashes me is either they think I have the hi beams or they're warning me about a cop , either way I just flash back ......same thing happens when I drive my TL and I know it's because of the HID's but I'm used to that by know....

According to the dealer mine are adjusted properly. No lift. I have been flashed more than 10 times (5 times in 1 night). Dealer says nothing is wrong, so I dont know what to tell you.
