I thought these lights were going to be designed for the new JL model but noticed that they are 7" lights. I wonder if they come with a 9" adapter or if they will fit out of box.

Just got in touch with JW speaker and they told me, "We are working on a mounting solution for the JL. Keep an eye out for an announcement later this year!" That is awesome news. Really looking forward to trying these lights out.

If you measure the actual light reflector, the JL only has a 7" headlight....

Here's a set of JW Speaker J2s in a JLUR using Lifetime LED brackets and H-13 pigtail:

Confused Tim -- does this mean no need to wait for mounting solution from JW Speaker for JL's answer that Borgs received? - it really already exists? Hmmm - they should know that.

Also - any news on matching fog lights for JL's from them? My standard Halogen headlights and fogs suck. I'm interested in pricing for both heads and fogs JL specific.

@Grimace-912: We carry the Lifetime LED JL brackets and H-13 wiring pigtails in stock. They're what we used in the above pics to install the JWS J2 8700s in Malo's 2018 JLUR (Northridge4x4's marketing director) and will work with the J3 beautifully.

We did just get an email from JW Speaker last week that they are releasing their own JL conversion bracket, we just don't have a set ETA for when those will be arriving.

No news on the matching fog lights yet. We'll post up as soon as we have some here to look at and take pics.

Just finished a How-To install write-up showing the Lifetime LED JL Conversion Brackets and H-13 Wire Pigtails being used to install J.W. Speakers J2 LED Headlights into a 2018 JLUR. Though these aren't the J3 headlights, the install would be the same.

I just Installed my J2 lights and followed your DIY write up, ordered the parts you mentioned from Northridge4x4 Ponoka Alberta. and everything went just perfect. Thank you for you write-up. I recommend this to anyone with Halogen lights, all in it only cost about $800 CAD for 100X better light.

sidenote: the DRL work as well.

Just a quick FYI, the new J3s are finally in stock and shipping out, anyone who has had these on backorder should be seeing them any day, if they haven't showed up to your door already!
