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 where
they sell 10 oz buds so go figure. I did the 25' method earlier to check
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
way to work.

Re: LASIK on the TJ
 

Harry,

Just curious where you found these replacement lights and what the
cost of them was? I've always thought my TJ headlights were weak.
Unfortunatley, I've found that the easiest compensation for them is to
drive with the fog lights on, but I don't like doing it. I always get
the flashing light complaint from other drivers when the fogs are on.
I know mine are out of adjustment, so I try to only use them when on
country roads.

I'd love to know where you got the replacements.

Thanks,
Brad

Heh, great, your lights are bright enough to bother other drivers
