The night we drove ours home from the stealership....we got "brighted" almost all the way home from several people,so I turned the brights on and they were shinning into the tree tops 
.....took it back to the stealership the next day and they adjusted the headlights 
....no more getting "brighted" by others.....
...IMO i think they don't adjust them at the factory,they just throw them in and ship'em.....

If you are running with your fog lights on and it not foggy that could be part of the reason. It is not right to just drive around all the time with the fogs on.
I pass someone in a stock steel blue 2 door every morning on my way to work that always has their fogs on. Its very bring even for me up high. I could only imagine what that's doing to everyone in a normal car.

All,
With respect to getting "brighted". Most people aren't assholes by nature. If they are "brighting" you it's because your lights are causing them discomfort. There must be somethin on your end that is missaligned. There are multiple threads on this forum regarding poor lighting and the fact that our high beams work well for spotting planes and not so much for lighting up the road in front of us. And all of this right from the factory. There are other things that can further complicate this. There are many threads about the "rake" that the wrangler comes with from the factory and how to level out the stance . If you have made adjustments to the stance of your Jeep and you haven't re-aimed your lights this is a good source for your problem. Another issue that I had was when hauling even a moderately heavy load the rear settles and raises the aim of the headlights. So my recommendation is to be absolutely sure that your not getting "brighted" because of something that your doing. After you've taken care of any possible issues on your end... feel free to switch on those flamethrowers!

I cant help it if hills in the roads make them go up and down and upset other drivers. I get blinded by theirs too, but I dont go around flashing them when they obviously DONT have their brights on. ~no point in it as, In my experience, most people ARE assholes by nature. IF they chose to express to me just how much of an asshole (and stupid asshole at that)they are, by attempting to blind me when i am driving a few thousand pound death missle at 60mph straight at them, i have no problem puting them in the spotlight for all the world to see. (so to speak
)I have done everything in my power to get my lights out of their eyes, if they still flash me, i dont feel in the slightest bit bad about letting 'em have it with 800+ watts of repulsor beam.
