I put new headlights and they're great but I need to adjust them, anyone know how or can show me any good videos?

Get the jeep right up tight to a wall, perpendicilar to the wall. Make sure you have a very large and LEVEL area to work in, like a grocery store parking lot. Large flat area. Measure the centerline height and put a piece of tape on the wall at that height. Then measure and mark the centerline width of each light. Use a very long strip of tape, adequate for movement. Back the jeep STRAIGHT back until your headlights are 25' away on LOW BEAM. Now, use a t15 torx screwdriver to raise or lower with ine screw, left or right with the other.
Your tape should show a + + on the wall. You want your low beam to point in the lower right corner of each plus.
This is for a TJ, and presumably a YJ. You can google this to get a nice pdf of it as well. But it's pretty basic, and very easy.

His is a TJ. Slightly different, since you have both vertical and horizontal adjustments.

Missed that it was a TJ. I'd assume that the principles are the same, though.

Seriously, if you can hold a stick in a straight line and twist it, you can adjust your headlights. Again though, google the process to find the pdf that shows the light pattern as I described it. It does help. Good luck. Not sure your location but if it helps you feel better, spray it with some rust penetrant. Jeeps like that.

To a point, yes. Except there is a horizontal adjustment that the JK doesn't have. And that adjustment is key to properly aligning the TJ style headlights.
But yes, you would assume they'd be the same, but why make sense, it's Jeep lol.
