Well, I’ve followed this thread prior to receiving my jl. You guys are absolutely correct. The led reverse lights S U C K. It’s too bad we need to add auxiliary lights just to back up at night

Not a bad idea. Still probably a cheaper option than installing an expensive set.Put disconnects on the wiring so you can change them out quickly if you have a problem. For $16 a pair I keep a couple of pair around to change out or add on temporarily.
I like them mounted into the bumper. Nice build. I actually considered fitting lights into my bumper, but I couldn't come up with a good configuration in the stock bumper.I did the Rigid floods and hooked them up to Aux 3 switch. I like them. Pricey but good.
Has anyone had luck simply replacing the stock reverse light bulbs with better ones? I understand that it won’t be nearly as bright as aftermarket auxiliary lights. I removed the light and learned that mine are not like the ones I’ve seen in the headlight revolution video.
At 1:56 when he removes the bracket held on by the 3 screws and accesses the bulbs, my tail lights with LED and active safety group and are completely different. I didn’t get a photo. On mine there aren’t regular bulbs that you remove by twisting a quarter turn. There’s a molded receptacle with a plug but no bulb to remove. Has anyone else with LED amd advanced safety and tried to access the tail light/brake light/reverse light fixture to just replace the reverse bulb?
You have the LED factory light package. The Jeep in the video has standard light package. Look at the headlights in the video and you can see they are not the LED package. No bulb in yours to replace.Has anyone had luck simply replacing the stock reverse light bulbs with better ones? I understand that it won’t be nearly as bright as aftermarket auxiliary lights.

Thanks. I thought there may be a traditional bulb setup, just with an LED build. Looks like my option to get more backup light will be to go the auxiliary lights route like most people here are discussing.You have the LED factory light package.

Accessories like that... that plug into the 7 pin, will over time... and not that long a time, be the cause of issues with the 7 pin.What do you guys think about these?
They plug right in to the 7 pin outlet so no need to wire anything. They just work. It is removable, of course, so it is easy to take off before hitting a muddy, deep trail. At 4300lm, they'll be plenty bright and are easily adjustable. I'm thinking for $160, it is worth adding on

Any word on this? I'm trying to figure out new back-up lights and I think this solution would be perfect!How interested would you guy be in a kit that replaces the factory reflectors on the bumpers with a pair of flood LED lights?
It would be a complete kit designed for the JL, with wiring and everything.
I do think you would have to cut the bumper behind the reflets asd it is solid if im correct. WOuld that change anything?
I don't like the square one but I don't mind the round one in my other post. Thus far, I haven't really liked any of the bumper mounted solutions. Now, if @InspiredEngineering makes lights to replaced the reflectors, my attitude about bumper mounted lights would definitely change@IndustrialAction
I base my "looks like crap" comment based on this pic. Even if you wanted to spare your 7 pin the use, would you really want this thing in the pic hanging off the back of your JL..
Nicely done.Here is what I did. Looks factory to me. Super bright! No low hanging issues as with other lights. 1260 lumens each!
I like your solution the most, but I would imagine the light output is a lot less compared to the rigids etc. How do you feel about these as a rear aux lighting option? Or are they more suitable as just a an upgrade to the reverse lightsHere is what I did. Looks factory to me. Super bright! No low hanging issues as with other lights. 1260 lumens each!
