2021 JL - Sting Gray
Hi everyone,

Just picked up my 2021 JL Sport S with tech/cold weather package (eek!). Anyway, they have halogen lamps, etc. - I want to swap the headlights out and put in some LEDs that I can purchase online.

Currently when my lights are set to "auto" I have absolutely no DRLs on at all. I'm assuming this is normal in the Sport S trim, but is there a way to activate DRL's on newly bought headlights when the lights are set to "auto"?

Any help for this newb would be great. Be gentle please!! Thank you :)

There's a lot of bad LED headlights and only a few good ones, be sure to do your research before "adding to cart"

okay Iā€™ll ā€œdo my researchā€, but Iā€™m curious if you can make DRLs if they didnā€™t come with the Sport S?
That link is how I wired my aftermarket lights (w/ split DRL/turn halos) to have the DRL function on my Sport S. And just be sure you're getting a decent headlight, the ones I bought didn't have great output and a very poorly defined cutoff. I have a new set that's better but still not the ideal output/cutoff that I've been wanting. Oracles seem to get consistent high marks for output & sharp cutoff.

Why not tap into your parking lights instead? This will allow you to go blackout if shit ever hits the fan and you need to be sneaky. When I want my fenders on I just leave the dial on parking lights. You can even leave it on parking lights when you shut your vehicle off since they eventually turn off anyways.
