Re: LASIK on the TJ
You asked and we told you. Your lamps are not adjusted properly if people
coming from the other way are flashing you. When properly adjusted, the cars
coming from the other way will never, that's N-E-V-E-R, flash you unless you
actually have your brights on. Please do not blame the victims of your
insensitivities for your shortcomings. They may just be bitching for
nothing, or your lights might actually be an issue, I suspect the latter.
I once owned these same lights, they are really nice to drive behind, but to
drive into can be a real pain in the *** if the owner has not properly
adjusted them. I would suggest as a sanity check to go behind the
supermarket and stick some duct tape on the wall 25" from the ground, and
part 25 feet away, and make sure the hot spot of your lamp is below this
line, and to the right of the left side tires.

Re: LASIK on the TJ
HIDs and Euro Spec are completely different.
HIDs are spot lights, and they should not generate complaints unless they
are maladjusted. The adjustment is not the same as the wall test that I
described, having said that, I suspect it would make a good sanity check
just the same. The hotspot in the beam should be below 25 inches at 25 feet,
and should be to the right of the centerline of the road. If you check and
find the lights are not aimed to comply with these rules, then ask the guy
with the fancy stuff to verify his work, or get your phillips out and make
the adjustment yourself.

Re: LASIK on the TJ
HIDs and Euro Spec are completely different.
HIDs are spot lights, and they should not generate complaints unless they
are maladjusted. The adjustment is not the same as the wall test that I
described, having said that, I suspect it would make a good sanity check
just the same. The hotspot in the beam should be below 25 inches at 25 feet,
and should be to the right of the centerline of the road. If you check and
find the lights are not aimed to comply with these rules, then ask the guy
with the fancy stuff to verify his work, or get your phillips out and make
the adjustment yourself.

Re: LASIK on the TJ
Completely stock Shahra 30x9.5 with stock lift, as I said the bumkins down
here do not like the brite white headlights as my co-workers told me. Hell,
they pay more for a 10 oz budwizer beer than a 12 oz at the bars because
they swear it tasts better. This one of the few areas in the country they
sell 10 oz buds so go figure.

here do not like the brite white headlights as my co-workers told me. Hell,
they pay more for a 10 oz budwizer beer than a 12 oz at the bars because

Re: LASIK on the TJ
Completely stock Shahra 30x9.5 with stock lift, as I said the bumkins down
here do not like the brite white headlights as my co-workers told me. Hell,
they pay more for a 10 oz budwizer beer than a 12 oz at the bars because
they swear it tasts better. This one of the few areas in the country they

and they were a little low so I left them the and the HIDs leave a very
distinct hot spot. It isn't like I am getting flashed by lots of folks
probably 1 out of 50 and I probably don't see more than 100 vehicles on my
