Scored this Hoppy headlight alignment kit on craigslist for $75.00. Aligned my head lights this morning. Came out perfect.

Does that kit require that the headlights have those three small glass nubs on the front of the lens like our OE headlights came with? A shop tried to use their kit to align some aftermarket headlights I had installed years ago but couldn't because the headlights didn't have the three small glass alignment nubs.
 
You're saying that alignment kit requires the nubs and that's why the kit is obsolete now?
Yes, the nubs are only on sealed beam headlamps and are what locate the heads and then a suction cup and spit secures them to the lamp.

Modern headlight designs don't have the nubs and vary widely in shape rendering the tool obsolete.

A bit of trivia, the 2006 TJ was the last vehicle made and sold in the US with the round sealed beam headlights.
