Just Switched Halogen Headlights to LED

[DMFish]

To anyone on the fence about whether they should switch from halogen to LED. I just did it on my jeep and I personally think it's worth the price. I opted in for the more expensive full headlight replacement instead of the cheaper bulb replacement and I have no buyer's remorse. I got the Oracle Oculus Switchback Bi-LED Projector Headlights. I got these specific ones for the running lights which I am very happy with. It was an easy installation taking only 15 minutes and clear and easy instructions. Attached is the only photo I have currently if anyone wants a new picture of them turned on, just let me know, and ill follow up.

Those look much better with blacked out insides.

I definitely agree

Those look great. I would like to see a video of them in operation. Have you gotten to drive at night to check them out? I am currently looking at these right now.

Sure, ill take a video tonight. I have gotten to drive with them at night and it's a night and day difference. They came slightly unaligned it's an easy fix I'm just being lazy and putting it off.

Wouldn't you want to properly aim them during the installation process? The grille is already removed and the tools are right on hand.

Not necessarily because you are not sure how much you need to change until they are installed and you use them. It's designed so you can easily do it while installed, it's just an Allen wrench on the backside of the light. Plus it's much easier to aim them at night but I installed it during the day.

Observing the cutoff of the new lights via a confirmed reference point, after they're installed on the vehicle but before it's driven, is the accepted method.

Yes, do adjust the lights for proper aiming so as to avoid compromising the night vision of oncoming drivers.

True, my lights are not off enough to compromise the night vision of oncoming drivers. The only thing I need to adjust is the lights are bc they are not even (the passenger side is higher than the driver's side). Again I've just not done it purely out of laziness.

100%. One reason I've not gone LED yet is because most of the LED options look like a robot eyeball. Yes, I've named my Jeep, but I don't need it looking like a discount transformer. Blacking out the inside parts looks significantly better and less robot-y.

I've had them on my yellow Jeep for a while now. I highly recommend them!

First upgrade we did after seeing the 2 candles Jeep gave us instead of headlights.
We did get the heated ones though as we're in Wisconsin and they look like snowflakes when there off
Plug and play without any real issues

I just purchased Skyline LED headlights from EXtreme Terrain for my 22 Sport JLU. Got them installed, and the halos come on when I first turn the DRLs or the lights on, but then they go off after a few seconds. Is there something I need to do with the computer to get them to work correctly?

To clarify, the halos are supposed to be my DRLs, and also work with the turn signals. we hooked the wiring up like the video directions said. THey don't stay on.

My initial thought is maybe it's an issue where the wires are connected. For mine, I had to tap into the cigar lighter seeing as they stay on as long as the car is on. As for the turn signals I'm not sure, mine didn't have the turning light capabilities. Where are your wires wired to?
