Just ask @cosine he knows!
Nice, the RC and Oculus looks very bright.. Not sure if this has been said or not but are the aftermarket LEDs brighter than the factory
I haven't compared them side by side but have seen the factory LED setup and from my best recollection the illumination would be about the same. IIRC the factory has a bit less defined cutoff, but still very good without that bold blue upper edge.

I think all three are very good lighting options but if you were lucky and found a set of OEM LED takeoffs for the same $500 price point I think I'd get those, just to keep the factory look. But IMO they all have a nice look in the grill too :)

I use JScan with this OBD reader:

These cables:

That 1 light is probably just below the minimum amount of volts the CAN needs to see to not pop up a bulb out. LED’s don’t necessarily pull the same voltage on each light. The voltage will be close but it can be +\- from each other.
Finally got the VGate today cable came last week, all DONE and it works great! Thanks

How long have you had them? Any longer-term issues? Thanks in advance!
I’ve only had them since Christmas so I can’t speak to long term issues. I am happy with them and so far no issues. I read the reviews and as with any product their was some issues over time but the majority of the reviews were positive with no long term issues noted. From my research most of the lights you see on Amazon that are this model are all the same just different sellers.

This post on the Jeep Gladiator forum provides a list of bulb, just bulbs that you can change out to convert your Wrangler to LED. No changes to your Wrangler's computer needed, they work just fine (no hyperflash) in vehicles without the LED package.

I didn't know that and I bought a Tazer along with it. Turns out, I didn't need the Tazer, but I liked it just the same. But the point here is that you can spend next to nothing to go LED. Change the bulbs, not the fixtures.
