Re: LASIK on the TJ
DOT approved in all 50 States.
Well as usual everyone has an opinion and it was wrong, my bud is the head
mechanic at the dealership where I purchased my TJ and used the fancy light
meters to adjust as per the local laws, I stopped by after work today and he
did a recheck everything is fine.
Some of my co-workers told me that it isn't that the lights are blinding
them, it is they are just too damn bright and the poor rednecks here in
southern MD do not appreciate it and think all the HID lamps should be
outlawed because it hurts their delicate eyes

Re: LASIK on the TJ
Are you running stock tires? How about load?
I have a 3" lift and 33x9.5 tires and if I 'properly' line up my
headlights, 'tons' of folks will flash me. Proper is X far from the
wall so the lights point in one place which is what the machine does.
I went and paced beside a few transport trucks and compared my beam
distance to theirs and I was 'way' out there. I came home and dropped
them down so when I pace a transport now, my beam hit the ground in the
same place as theirs. I also set them a little extra toward the ditch,
not much mind you, just a foot or so.
No more flashes. Even fully loaded for camping my lows don't bother
folks.
Just so you know, you can get big tickets for running illegal over lumen
lights and have to pay a tow....
The cops pulled over my old tenant in his XJ for having 100 watt beams
on. He had an option to turn them off so only got a talking to...

Re: LASIK on the TJ
Are you running stock tires? How about load?
I have a 3" lift and 33x9.5 tires and if I 'properly' line up my
headlights, 'tons' of folks will flash me. Proper is X far from the
wall so the lights point in one place which is what the machine does.
I went and paced beside a few transport trucks and compared my beam
distance to theirs and I was 'way' out there. I came home and dropped
them down so when I pace a transport now, my beam hit the ground in the
same place as theirs. I also set them a little extra toward the ditch,
not much mind you, just a foot or so.
No more flashes. Even fully loaded for camping my lows don't bother
folks.
Just so you know, you can get big tickets for running illegal over lumen
lights and have to pay a tow....
The cops pulled over my old tenant in his XJ for having 100 watt beams
on. He had an option to turn them off so only got a talking to...

Re: LASIK on the TJ
Try my adjustment procedure on the wall behind the supermarket. If the hot
spot is above the tape mark, this is why the cars coming from the other
direction are flashing you. These lamps are very easy to adjust because the
hot spot stands out clearly.
