2018 JL , LED headlights - aftermarket available?

[Dubeau9005]

Any time you replace incandescent turn signals with a LED, you'll need to add resistors to replace the lost resistance from the filament in the incandescent bulb. They are simple to install, here's a universal install video we put together:

Thanks Nick @Diode Dynamics. I knew I needed them for the turn signals. I just wasn’t sure with all the canbus system (first newer vehicle for me) if the headlights/fog lights also sensed the less current draw and would trigger a warning about the light being out. I’ll take your response as a no so that is good news.

Unless they swapped the grill somehow, that's a JK in the picture. Just sayin' if you're going to advertise a product you might use the correct picture

HIDProjectors.com is a reputable brand. I know the owner personally, and we supply them with components.

If you are looking for an aftermarket JL housing, they are a great option.

Also...they know their stuff, Facebook just pulls the main image from your product listing, so that would explain the JK picture if you are searching "Jeep Wrangler Lighting" etc.

Thanks!

Good to know, and if you say so I trust that as I've used and followed your products for years.

@Diode Dynamics when are you guys going to release a drop in replacement for a JL, I really like the Mopar LEDS with the halo ring and would have gotten them but the dealer did not have an LED JLU on there lot within my budget that had LEDS so I figured for two headlamps needless to say this is way out of my budget so are you guys working on something that can easily be swapped out for the halogen lamps

I'm just waiting for a company to make a retrofit bracket that allows JK headlights to work on a JL

Any update on this? I haven't used halogens in 10+ years...these things are brutal.

I talked to Rick at Quadratec and he sent the idea to the developement team. We shall see what happens

Would be so nice to have a wiring harness and bracket adapter to accept JK headlights - they were so universal...and are already so cheap lol

Right! And I already have a set KC Gravity lamps and fogs off my 16 JKU.

I have a pair of Mopar LED headlights for a 2018 Wrangler JL if anyone is interested. They are $620.

Do you still have these available? I am interested. Chris

i just put in the lumtronix h13 led from cjpony, about 130 bucks and they’re awesome, left them stock white at 6500k, so about 3x brightness of stock halogens

took like 15 to put both in, super easy

So you can buy the mopar ones and they are direct plug and play on our JLs?

I believe they are direct plug and play but not sure if the LED feature has to be turned by a programmer

Wow I just installed and have the exact opposite opinion. I found them way less bright than stock and in fact my fog lights flooded out the led. Never ordered from CJpony but I hope they are good with returns.

The OEM LED headlights are plug and play swap with the halogens on the sport trims except:

1) No DRL/Halo. The wiring harness needs a 4rth wire to turn on the halos. I will be playing with this a bit more this week.

2) Something is up with high beams. Specifically the low beams cut out when high beams are on. This may be programable or it may need a different switching mechanism.

This has been my experience. I haven't heard of anyone else trying yet.
