How many oncoming drivers getting ticked with the JL LED headlights

[TallDude]

I’ll have to check about adjusting them as I get flashed fairly often . I always feel bad cuz my brights definitely aren’t on. It’s also worse when I’m coming from the top going downhill

I was getting high beamed by oncoming traffic after getting my Jeep lifted. I have after market Halo LED’s…my solution was to park my Jeep 25ft away from a wall and direct my beam approximately 3 feet in height! So far so good, no more angry passerby’s!!!

Here's a stereotypical GenX post (of which I am a member): "Back in my day, we had glo-plug level incandescent, all we could see was other cars and what the street lights illuminated.... and we liked it!"

I knew this topic would come up. Lol. I don't have LEDs just a base jeep but I see perfectly fine with the stock headlights. I haven't had a problem with any jeep lights. It seems like jeep people are a different breed and they understand lifting there vehicle means adjustments to the headlights.

This situation here in FL is out of control though with the redneck's they lift there trucks and install super bright lights or have the factory LEDs and make zero adjustments and don't seem to care. And the sheriff's do nothing.

It sucks bad, they blind the living crap out of you. I see a few of them every morning, the same ones. They get flashed continuously by lots of drivers and do absolutely nothing. Makes me want to shoot their headlights out. I also wanted to install some badass lights of my own and blast them, but it could get someone else hurt.

I restrain myself.

In almost 4 years and 53k miles I have yet to see or anyone complain about my LEDS.

What's a redneck? @longfiredragon

Must be a transplant.

Me either, sounds like people trying to invent drama.

It's probably people who shouldn't be driving at night and are sensitive to brighter lights who are complaining.

Could be worse. Here’s how Mercedes Benz advertises their new LED headlights:

Anyway, it is what it is. LEDs are brighter than the old incandescents, and Jeeps ride higher than many other vehicles.

Getting groceries or going to the mall in an unlimited probably isn't going to be an issue. Attaching a ski rack to the hitch of a 2 door and putting ppl in the back will definitely load the rear enough to blind oncoming traffic especially on back country roads. I'm just looking for the part numbers for the motor, sensors, controller, and harness so I can retrofit auto leveling technology to my Jeep. It is required equipment in all other countries so I'd assume it's possible.

Here's an easy to understand video...

This was a huge problem back with 2018 production, per the many comments in this forum at the time. As received from the factory, my low beams were level and my high beams went into the trees. So I re-aimed with the low beams against the garage door, having the low beams drop some 3" from level, per a diagram I found online and reflecting (sorry for the pun) procedures I used years ago with then-illegal-for-street halogen headlights. No problems since.

My theory was and remains that a technician in the factory was aiming the low beam--the wrong beam--as level. Had the technician aimed the high beam as level, the low beam would have been dipped per the combined high-low beam headlight assembly.

Just curious, has anyone complained your JL LED lights are too bright? I was in a drive through just a few minutes ago and the dude in front of me yelled at me to turn off my brights. I just said sorry, the brights aren’t on, but he was ticked.

I live in a farm area in Oxford, Florida and I get it all the time. Nothing I can do about it.

You can be courteous and show them you don't have your high beams on by then turning on your high beams at them

I adjusted mine last night. Super easy process! Will see if I get less flashes. It literally took 30seconds!

Dealer adjusted mine about a month ago. Have had zero issues since.
