Updated with first look at the new LED leadlights:
Compare to the previous non-LED lights:
The Jeep Wrangler is finally going to get LED headlights and it's starting before you think.
Addressing the much maligned halogen bulbs on the current model Wrangler, FCA has decided that the 2017 Jeep Wrangler will be the first to get the LED headlights and fog lights, ahead of the JL Wrangler debut for the 2018 model year.
The new LED lights will be standard on the Sahara and Rubicon models and optional on the Sport and Sport S trims.
The current halogen lamps have ranked among the worst on the market by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Jeep promises the new high beams will bring with it a 90% increase in light.
In a further signal of what to expect for the 2018 Wrangler and beyond, Jeep will be adding several package options including a cold weather group option for Sport S and Rubicon, with 17-inch BF Goodrich KO2 tires, an engine block heater, slush mats, power convenience group, heated seats, and remote start.
There will also be new paint colors Acid Yellow, XTreme Purple, Chief and Gobi, available for the entire lineup.
