Driving at night with the LED Package

[RSenese]

I have a 19 Rubi with LED Light Package from Jeep off the lot (no mod/custom headlights)

Everywhere I drive at night oncoming drivers are flashing their brights at me (as to say to turn off mine)

I’m sitting high, 4 inch lift and 37s, so I assume for most sedans I’m at eye level of oncoming traffic and the LEDs are annoying, and they think my brights are on when they aren’t.

Does this happen to anyone else?
Sometimes I’ll ignore them, sometimes I’ll get frustrated at a light if they don’t stop, and flash back with my brights to show I’m not running them.

I find this so annoying and stressful. Does anyone else run into this problem as well?

(I’m on Auto lights, and my brights are not on- the next lowest setting is just the round ring, and I can’t drive with just that because it does not give off enough light)

I'd wager the people in the vehicles across from you find it pretty annoying also.

Maybe adjust the headlight angle?

I'd recommend lowering the beams down a little.

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.
I searched but couldn’t find this.

Yep adjust your headlights. Also, LEDs are just plain brighter. I get the occasional flash in my stock Rubi.

Just got my Rubi the other day and just drove at night. The lights are SO bright - I thought I had my brights on for a bit. I'm wondering how they will do off road. Maybe just need some spots for the side.

Just flash them back and give them a wave...

It happens in my wife’s stock Grand Cherokee so I can only imagine in a JL with 4 inch lift.. in my lifted jk I had the lights angled down when I lifted it..

LEDS across the board are bright........even in daylight. I live on a two-lane country road in rural Idaho and the other day a Jeep was coming down the road, obviously with LED headlights and they definitely get your attention even in the middle of the day. Probably a good safety feature to have. I have noticed the same thing on the newer Harley-Davidson motorcycles as well; LEDs are very noticeable.

It’s the lift. My stock halogens gets flashes from time to time.

Well if you lifted it, then you should adjust the beams...

Isn’t that a no brainer?

I think they’re flashing you in jealousy

Every time I have lifted a vehicle I took it right to the shop for alignment and head light adjustment. It's no joke for someone driving towards a vehicle that has head lights shining dead in their face, especially with LED lights.

If he's getting flashed on a regular basis his headlights are too high, period. He needs to adjust them and stop blinding oncoming traffic...
