there is a headlight aiming device. most shops should have em.
to aim them yourself, behind the headlight trim ring, there are some screws to aim them.
you want to park the jeep facing a solid wall, about 10 feet back, and aim them so they are about waist high. also, you want them to face a little to the right, away from oncoming traffic.
not totally the easiest to do, sometimes the aiming screws are a bit rusty, but worth a shot. if you get it all wrong, you can always take it to a shop.

and here's the daniel stern lighting version, complete with all the variations and measurements to please your local LEO...even includes the correct ways to aim driving, and fog lights, IIRC.
