Headlights
I was just wondering if theres anything special about replacing the
headlights on my TJ. It looks pretty basic, but I just wanted to make sure.
Do I have to do a lot of adjusting to make them point correctly?
BTW if you were wondering why i am replacing them, I smashed one using a
chain to pull someone out of the mud. Yeah I have been told not to use a
chain for that very reason that it might come back when it breaks. Well im
very lucky that nothing else at all got broken except the headlight. So, i
went over to O'Reillys and got myself some Silver Stars.
Thanks guys!

Re: Headlights
Naw, nothing special involved, except that the screws are those little
Torx bastards. No adjusting needed as long as you only remove the
screws used to secure the outer bezel ring.

just make sure you get the ones holding the lights in (should be
obvious, just give a look). The ones that do the adjusting are
different.

Re: Headlights
If you manage to do it right, there is no adjusting at all. take out the old
lamps, put in the new lamps, and you're done.
I put a set of those SilverStars in my BMW, they are very nice, with a
capital VERY.
