Smile Head-Light Adjustment...

Does anyone know the best way to adjust the headlights on this JK? I have been bright-lighted since it was new, and now that its jacked up, still happening. I am getting tired of flipping on all (4) KC lights to prove my brights are not on.

Adjustments for headlights are Pass Side at 11 oclock and Driver Side at 2 oclock. Takes a Torx Bit (T15 size) Counter Clockwise is headlights down and Colckwise is headlights up.

With a 4.5" lift and 37" tires I went 3 turns Counter Clockwise.

Hope this helps.......

ROFL, i know the feeling, but i didn't get tired of flipping my high beams on followed by 2 Hella's on windshield. Usually high beams are more then enough to let them know that i'm driving with lows, but for some retards i had to get the point across with Hella spot lights. Works like a charm, i actually had one car come to a complete stop

Better to just flash the bright beams: That may be a law officer that you're getting flashed by and he probably won't be too pleased with you using off-road lights on the streets.

place your JK 20-25 feet from the garage or a wall and mark the top position of the light, then with a tox and with the amount of lift you did lower it 2-3ins on the wall. best way i found.
