There is a plastic piece that takes a Phillips screwdriver. See the picture here.

Thank you for the picture P2A and information BK! I'll knock that out this weekend.

Stopped by the dealership again... Still no answers on the alignment. Can they not just do an alignment like any other lifted/leveled Jeep?

Assuming the leveling kit doesn't do anything with your control arms or track bar, then all they can adjust is your toe. Shouldn't be that hard

Believe it or not, I got flashed by a horse and buggie the other night. I live in Amish Country most of my life and I just learned they have high-beam LED's too. Heard plenty of boom-boom bass music coming from them before, but wow I was surprised to get beamed by one. :LOL:

I've had my JT for 2 months now and wasn't flashed until recently due to adding a leveling kit and 315's. Going to adjust the LED's this evening so I don't have the Amish Mafia visiting me.

My JLU and JT both came from the factory aimed too high. I had to adjust them both down some. Tip: Use a 6mm allen socket instead of a Phillips screwdriver to turn the adjustment dial. Doing so will prevent lots of cussing later.

My LED bulbs have a razor sharp cut-off in the halogen housings. Too sharp actually. I can't see jack **** on low beam, but I can't use high beam due to oncoming traffic, and I can't adjust the low beams upward because then when I tow a trailer they're too high. It's a real mess. Lol.

After the 2" Mopar Lift and 315 tires, I had to adjust mine down a bit. Flat surface 20' from a wall or object, measure up 36" and adjust the top of the light (nice cutoff like @ShadowsPapa said above) to that 36" and you'll be fine. Still plenty of bright side light to see deer and other critters in the ditches.
Should be 25' away. At least that's what the instructions for the Mopar lift say.

They have a good cutoff - that's what's lacking in too many after-market lights.
Except when the "after-market lights" are engineered to outperform the factory LED lights and provide a *WAY* sharper cut-off line than factory. :like:
