How do I adjust Jeep JK LED headlights?

When I am driving my jeep at night, I get a lot of angry light-flashing from other drivers, even though my low beams are on. Can you tell me how to adjust Jeep JK LED headlights so they don’t blind other drivers?

Jeeps
tend to sit higher than other vehicles, and those LED lights can cause trouble if they aren’t adjusted correctly.
There are two adjustment screws for each headlight on your Jeep—one on top for vertical adjustment, and one to the side for horizontal adjustment.
To adjust the lights, find a flat surface for your jeep, where you can shine your lights onto a wall or garage door. You will need enough room to safely roll back 25 feet and still be on a flat, even surface.
  • Start by parking your jeep within a foot of the wall and turn on your headlights.
  • Use masking tape to **make a cross shape **where each light shines the brightest on the wall.
  • Back your Jeep up 25 feet, and see where your lights are in relation to the tape on the wall. With your low beams on, the lights should fall just below the crosses. Your high beams should be exactly even with the crosses.
  • Use the adjustment screws to move the headlights down, left, or right until the high beams are even with the crosses.
You should check and readjust your lights every time you have them serviced or replaced, or when you change your tires or suspension.
