Hello All,
I wanted to post my experience installing Code 4 Sequential Turn Signal for JL Sport. There don't seem to be many LED turn signal options out there for us Sport owners...I did the following for the install:
1) Follow this video to remove your fenders ( ). YOU MUST REMOVE YOUR FENDERS. I could not find a way to swap your turn signal housing otherwise. This is a very simple process in the end...seems a little overwhelming removing your fender for the first time...but I promise its not bad.
2) Once you have the fender totally removed, follow this set of instructions to remove the OEM turn signal (https://www.theretrofitsource.com/core/media/media.nl?id=1718801&c=5129608&h=3ba144c2eb35c1bbff68)
3) Install the new turn signal all the way to having the fender ready to reattach to the jeep, but DO NOT REATTACH YOUR FENDER YET!
4) Plug in the wire harness from your new turn signal to your jeep and place the unattached fender on the top of your wheel.
5) At this point, you want to test if the turn signal and side markers are working the way you want them to. The Code4 turn signals come with resistors pre-installed and you need to keep these installed even if you have a Z-Automotive Tazer to have your jeep computer recognize your turn signals as "LED". I say this because I do have a Tazer and could not get the turn signals to work without switching to "LED" AND leaving the resistors in place. If you remove the resistors, the turn signal has so little pull that the Jeep Computer throws bulb out errors intermittently...VERY ANNOYING. Use the Tazer, update Front Turn Signal to LED and leave those resistors in place.
Also, My passenger side marker connector was wired backwards on the turn signal I received, but Dean (owner) at Code4 was super easy to work with and is sending a replacement for me...hard to find good people like Dean in the world anymore. Even with this bump in the road, I would recommend this product knowing that the Code4 team stands behind their products!
Once you are happy with how the turn signal and side markers are reacting, you can move on. If you have any bulb out error issues, one thing to try is to make sure your Tazer has the latest firmware...for whatever reason, the turn signals seem to have caused headaches in the past and firmware releases have included turn signal specific fixes.
6) Reattach your fenders
7) ENJOY!
The Code4 Sequential turn signals have switchback functionality built in. For my set-up, I have the turn signals set to DRL. This means during the day (without lights on), the turn signal is solid yellow and then sequentially blinks yellow when the turn signal is activated, then turns back to solid yellow when the turn signal is deactivated. At night (with lights on), the turn signal is white and then sequentially blinks yellow when the turn signal is activated, then switches back to solid white when turn signal is deactivated.
Hope this helps in your Jeep Adventures.
