Has anyone adjusted their own headlights? After my clevis lift my front sits just a wee bit higher than the back and threw the headlights aim off into oncoming traffic's eyes and off the road where it should be. Should I just take it somewhere and have them adjusted or is it fairly easy to trim them out just a bit?

I have heard about drawing lines on the garage door a certain distance from the ground and back off to 10' or so and adjusting them that way? How high do I draw the aiming lines?

Hey Larry


Or is that not what you meant by "call me Larry," Tom? :shock:

For those reading this pre-need, this is what I did:

Prior to lifting mine, I parked it and turned on the lights. I placed tape in the brightest spots on the wall and marked where my tires were. After the lift, I parked the jeep in the same place and adjusted the beams until the hot spots hit the tape again. Hardly scientific, but the headlight pattern is satisfactory to me and I do not blind oncoming traffic.

I looked at adjusting mine on my 06', i dont see any adjusting screws. I only see the mounts that hold the lense in place. Help anyone?

stand right in front of the headlight with the hood open,

Look over top of the headlight in the radiator support you will find a oval hole sort of off center towards the center , look down in that hole and thats the adjustment screw can't remember the size right now but that it!
