Man I've got pocket sized tac lights brighter then that lol. I have in the rampage headlights. Huge improvement. But I'm having a hell of a time adjusting the passenger side. It's still quite a bit high and right from center. Maybe my adjustment screw is shot. Might have to just shin the housing screw with some washers to get it aimed

Yup, with a small (by Jeep standards) investment you can drastically improve over stock.
Glad to hear you like the new visibility!

Just curious, and maybe I missed it earlier in the thread, but how exactly do you adjust them? Is it that little Torx screw in the center above the headlight? I haven't adjusted mine yet because I don't have a Torx set...yet. But I recall seeing somewhere else that you can do it with a Phillips head. Mine are ridiculously out of adjustment right now, lol
