Agreed, Respect.

Did you happen to actually read the install guide that came with your lift?

Step 5 in the post install checklist says to, and I quote:


5. Readjust headlights to proper settings.

No excuse for failure! People need to chill out!

Not a big deal. Obviously if you didn't figure out the solution to the issue right away that just means you've never done it before. The adjustment is simple and i recommend parking about 10' from your garage door (closed) or a wall. There are a lot of adjustment guides if you google them. You'll see the cutoff pattern on the wall or door your lights are projecting onto and adjust down. After your done go out on your street and see if you notice the difference.

People who are mechanical or used to doing something take for granted that they were once new to something and had to learn (most of us the hard way)!


*edit* lol JTJK already posted the link! CHEERS!!!

Then you do a 2 second google search for 'headlights aimed too high', or 'how do I adjust my headlights' or 'anything similar to either of those'. Or you go back to your installer and ask. Or you go to any mechanic anywhere close to you and ask. Or any 4x4 shop. Or...

Lots of options other than just ignoring it and laughing at all the cars you blind.

Really? I had no idea! Seems a strange thing to put on export vehicles but not on ones for the US domestic market. We're always whinging away over here about not getting all the options and special edition Wranglers that you guys do, so I suppose it's not all bad (I guess we do get the CRD motor too).

Some Countries make such things mandatory, like DRLs... God Bless Capitalism, where here, we will call it an option and we'll just charge you for it!
