I've tried. Couldn't find anything. Found something on jk wranglers but it wasn't accurate. People were saying 7-1100

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

Mine are torx bits on my 99, but the header panel I just put on my 91 has phillips. So at some point they switched.

Yeah mines just a philips head screw. I wonder if it's possible you could just swap out the torx head for a philips screw?

I'm definitely going to try. Damn Torx, why the heck would they switch it?

I think it may be cheaper to produce a torx screw and a couple cents saved per car times a couple hundred thousand cars produced starts to add up.
