2018 Jeep JL Sport S
I recently bought a 2018 Jeep JLU Sport S and wanted to change the factory "yellow" bulbs to something more appealing. I ordered the 7 inch Honeycomb LED headlights from AM Off-road to install. Taking out the factory headlights was a simple process, however when I added the bracket to support the new headlights, I noticed my grill would not snap on all the way. I believe this is from having too big of a bracket. I still managed to get the grill latched down, but I then noticed that my headlight housing was coming out because of the headlight. The headlights are supposed to fit with no problem and I am just curious if there is a solution to my problem without reverting to the old headlights. Thank you.

The headlight should sit a lot deeper. Remove the headlights with the bracket on them and compare to the original lights. Make sure your headlight brackets are correctly positioned. If it matches up with the factory lights, you most likely have the wrong bracket.

What would be the right bracket then? Are your headlights from the same place?

Mine are from inspired engineering. Post some pictures of how the lights sit in the brackets.
