‘did you put the Chinese euro tail lights on? How were they? Do you have a link?

Nope been a month haha I guess the Coronavirus has many Chinese factories closed. Seller said he will ship on Monday. Will post here when I get them and installed.
There is even a video link on that page.

No modification required. Not sure why Amazon says not compatible as they are plug and play.

Does the beamtech bulbs fit in the little jeep grill thats in the headlight?

Yes that doesn’t change no matter what bulb you put in

I installed the Oracle Bi LED headlights. Great upgrade. Easy install, but you do have to decide if you are going to run a wire to the fuse box to have a permanent DRL solution for the halos, or run the wire to a switch or Aux pod/panel. I went with the simple solution as the white halos will be DRL. If I had spent the extra $ for the color LEDs I would want them connected to a switch. The low beam cutoff is very distinct. I hardly ever get flashed.

Installed the beamtech bulbs tonight. Impressed so far!! Definitely brighter and cut off line is good. We will see how long they last, but for 40 dollars hard to beat!

I’ve had the beamtech bulbs installed since January and they’ve been great. No problems at all so far.

There are many threads out there cover LED headlights in depth.

The short of it is Mopar has a conversion kit that requires a dealer flash and is the most expensive, but many like it because it’s factory. Kiwi/Bunker industries has plug and play options available on amazon that many seem to be happy with and are fairly inexpensive (be sure to get the newer models that gave adjustable screws so you don’t have to use washers to aim them). Oracle and Quake are also fairly popular options that are also plug and play. I believe all of these require you to run or splice a wire for power to the DRL halos.

I haven’t decided what my plan is, so in the meantime I put LED bulbs in the stock halogen housings (many think this is a no-no, but I’ll see how it works out for me). Just installed them today but they seem to be great for the money. Others on the forum have said good things about them as well.

Passenger side fog is still a halogen for comparison:

you won't be sorry with your choice of alla: I'm running the hi/lo plus fogs on my pickup and just picked up a set for my daughter's '21 when it gets here...the work extremely well and have an excellent cutoff: I went with the amber for the fogs as I prefer the light given off for driving in fog/snow/rain

It is a no-go because you fucking blind people and make the roads less safe. It’s not about how it works out for you, it’s about how it doesn’t work for people driving the opposite way.

wow, dude, take a chill pill! and for your information, unless you KNOW for a fact that EVERY light out there is garbage, kindly shut your pie-hole! I'm running LED bulbs in halogen housings on my pickup & have zero issues with a great beam cutoff and never have anyone flash me. if you actually do some research and testing, you'll find there are good and bad kinds of bulbs & learn how to choose the proper ones.

 

[MyDaughters20JL]

Just ignore people who won't help you. LEDs are amazing in halogen housings if you do your research and don't buy ebay junk.

I believe this video is what started me on the path to learning about LED's: good starting place & good information as to what kind to avoid

 

[MyDaughters20JL]

Does anyone know a replacement led reverse bulb. I order one but it wouldn’t fit. It did fit the break/signal light so I went ahead and repacked those. I have not been able to find a reverse led light though. Beside diode dynamics etc. for 90$. Plus.

I"m running both upgraded bulbs in my pickup THESE, as well as a set of THESE mounted up under the bumper: for some of the places we go camping, it's nice to have both for the maximum light output. I just replaced the under-bumper lights as I had one starting to die, but after 5+ years, I didn't mind in the least
the pics are before and after: not the best before due to lighting around our place, but you'll notice the difference in light output.

Good'ay! Did you have any flickering after install?

 

[YippieKiYayMrFalcon]

Good'ay! Did you have any flickering after install?

I ended up sending these back because I did see a little flicker. I actually just bought the Kiwi Master lights off amazon, and had some flicker from them, too.

instead of sending the Kiwis back, too, I decided to buy an OBDII scanner and the security bypass cable and got the Jscan app and license to switch all the settings for the lights to LED. After I did that, all the flickering went away. So I assume had I done the same with the Beamtech bulbs, the flicker would have gone away for them, too.

 

[geem03]

Is there any product out there that I can install that won't flicker?

JW Speaker headlights won't flicker. They've been building LED headlights for a long time and have the flickering problem sorted out.

You'll also need the conversion housings to fit the JT and JL:

They are an easy swap, here is a DIY video:



We've also had great luck with the Oracle Bi-LED headlights and they are a direct bolt-in for the JT/JL.
