i have my tucklites in nice and snug and notice that the passenger light is aimed to the left a little too much. when I'm about 15ft from my garage, the lights' x's are about 2' apart but when i back out, the passenger side x crosses over the the left, eventually overlapping the driver side x. the other night i noticed this the most in the dense fog my area was experiencing. i know how to adjust the lights up and down which i have done already, but is there a way to go side to side? i know i can shim the light but id rather not if there is a way to adjust. thanks guys!

I'm pretty sure there is a torx adjustment screw for horizontal as well as verticle. Not close to my jeep right now but I seem to remember seeing two beveled areas when looking at the headlight where you can fit a torx driver.

i thought so too but that other beveled area turns up blank. theres nothing there

I just did a quick google search and apparently we are out of luck as there is only one adjustment screw. Apparently in some markets JK/jku's have an electric motor that adjusts the headlights multi ways but we only get up and down. I just installed mine today and have not yet tried to adjust them but hopefully will tonight or tomorrow.

damn.. and i know its not the light that is messed up because its my second one since the first one had a small defect.

is there any way you can put pressure on the side of the light to get a little adjustment? I know mine felt like they could be manually moved a small bit. Maybe adjust them without the grill in place and use something to wedge in behind the light assembly to cant it a little.

I had same trubble with my 09 - found a adjusting nut INSIDE the light bucket, light has to be out to get at it .
don't know if the 12s are different , I made a mark where the light should be - removed light adjusted - held it in place by hand, and repeat till deadnuts on - good luck.

nope, mine are snug and aren't going anywhere.. the one i had in there before was able to move up and down via pressure but this one fits like a glove..

ill look for that nut. I'm sure it'll make a huge difference once i undo the cross-eyed effect these lights are producing. its pretty much like aiming 2 spot lights to the driver side on anything further than 40ft away. either way these are still a huge upgrade front he stockers even with sylvania silverstars.

how i did mine
back in to garage or comp. level area ,
make sure lights are square to door - measure
mark corresponding measurements on door.
next take a Prozac cas this is FRUSTRATING

I have a 13. Take the light out and you will see the adjusting nut inside.
