Anyone with the Model 3 that can comment on the high beams? One thing I see different in the amazon pics is it doesn't appear to be a dual burn high beam as compared to models 1 and 2 - but its still the same lumen rating on the high and low beam bulb. That has to make a difference in high beam performance.

Ok, I'm starting to think that the mis-use of one simple word between Version and Model is really mucking this discussion up. There are 3 "MODELS" advertised on amazon - and it seems the seller might have 3 different upgrade versions across the model lineup? The way it's presented on amazon anyways is that even Model 1 "cross halo" now has adjustability.

Edit: I just posted the question directly on the amazon listing to let the seller reply.

I agree, I ended up with version two that has the cross pattern, they do really good with the cut off and no scatter. It was definitely confusing when I went to order them, I finally just chose version two based on the photos etc. I’m very happy with them.

***EDIT*** I got Version 3, not Version 2, sorry for any confusion.

Good choice. i have them too, and not only are they unique, their cutoff is excellent, the high beams are great and the halos are good as well. :)

I ordered model 3. I'll update once they are here and installed. It was a tough and unnecessarily confusing choice. Looking to see if I can wire the Kiwi halos to the parking lights vs having them always powered. I don't want a non OEM switch if i can avoid it - and I just finished the trailer harness install. Really don't feel like taking the RF fender off and removing parts of the interior again for that MOPAR aux switch install so soon.....

Just installed the model 3 today. Here are pics of the low beam, high beam, and halos. I’ll post some more photos of the output when it’s a bit darker out.

I am considering these or the Oracles. Everyone seems pretty happy with these and are half the price. Any down sides to these?

I have had them for a few months now and really like them.

Looks like "Model 1" is now the version on Amazon with the cross pattern.

My apologies, I went back and looked at my order, apparently I ordered Version 3... Not sure why I though it was Version 2...

Here's an update on my Wireless Switch solution...

I bought the Trigger 6 Shooter combo kit for JL/JLU here: https://www.morris4x4center.com/trigger-6-shooter-combo-kit-jl-jt.html
Use Code: DEC30 for $30 off of $300 or more (Not sure when it expires?)

Install was smooth, directions are here:

I wired mine in so I didn't have to worry about changing out batteries.

I purchased the 9" Fiery Red headlights but then stumbled across the Kiwi Master. I'm on a tight budget just looking to be re assured I didn't waste my money selecting Fiery Red over Kiwi Master

Just ask @cosine he knows!
I would assume they're all the same using a different DropShip name. Hope you like them.
Yeah, looks to be the same, and the smoked LED taillights are a similar deal, many chinese vendors selling the same lights under different store names.

@Arterius2 ... For Model 1, since the DRL "cross" is an integral part of the low and high beams, they must be wired to be always on, right? For example, to an Aux switch (ignition/latching) or Fuse 57.

For Models 2 and 3, the DRL halos could be wired later. Am I thinking about this correctly?
