Those that are, can you see ok with them?
I got a set recently, and have them on my 1.5" leveled Sport S (rubicon springs) with 35" tires. I put them on and without the adjustment springs/bolts the headlight pointed too low on my wall I use for measuring and adjustment. I tried to use only the adjuster bolts to level the cut off higher, and the bolts lose tension before they get high enough. I took 5 small washers (not very thick) and placed on the bottom bolt to bring the cut off line up. This got the cut off about 3 feet high at 25 feet back.

The lights are very bright on the ground up close, but I feel like after about 25 ft or so in front of my truck, the light output is just lost. I dont feel like I can see very far ahead of me while driving. The ground right in front looks great all lit up, and the lights light up the sides a good bit each side. The light just doesnt seem to cast very far straight ahead of my vehicle. This makes driving at night a little uncomfortable unless you are familiar with the road, or going fairly slow.

I thought about trying to maybe bring the cut off line up even higher than the 3ft, but im afraid ill blind people, and that is maybe not the issue. I havent been flashed one time with them.

Do I have something adjusted wrong, or is that just how these lights are? If so, I dont know how long I can deal with not seeing that far ahead of me.
Now the high beams are amazing and will light up from here to China.

I’m running them right now and have no issues. I used the adjuster springs and agree if you tighten them all down they are to low. I was able to adjust mine up where i can see well but will probably adjust them higher come spring. I have weight I’m the back for winter and that helps for now. The brights are no problem but the dims can be better with adjusting them. I’m not concerned with blinding people considering all these new cars and trucks have blinding LEDs anyhow. Keep fiddling with them you will find the sweet spot. Good Luck

Did you do any side to side adjusting?

I turned the top outside one out a bit if I remember correctly. Only issue I have with mine are the brights show as 4 spots with slight dark spots in between but that being said they are $220 lights not $600 sets.

I had these on my JL, and agree that the low beams spread wide, but do not go as far down the road as the halogens. I had to adjust them way down to match where my original lights were. There are enough blinding lights out there. I don't want to be one of them. That being said, the high beams were terrific!
