I just got mine earlier this week, purchase mid November. I also was part of the Xmas, and then 2 week delay which turned into slightly longer. But with all my might, I stayed patient lol.

Got these installed, still need to adjust some more but I need to see where I'm at with regular passenger cars at red lights. Being on a 4.5 lift with 40s tends to put my lights into their cabin which I try to avoid.

I purchased the elite max and they don't disappoint. I have a different brand that had replaced the factory halogens but were extremely disappointing. The DD elite max do not disappoint. They do more than I need, as I'm not into show mode, or start up mode.

What I do like and why I purchased these? Hoping the output and beam pattern were close to factory LED and they are!! Solid cutoffs and bright. The blinkers built in are a bonus, the off road option on the max..... not so sure yet but the amount of light that you can see/use is significant. I have some other light pods that are strong so it may not be too much of an advantage if any. Build quality, from what I can tell, these are not your typical light weight housings. These are pretty heavy in the hand and seem like a tank for headlights.

Price, well we know these aren't very budget friendly, but I'd have no issues going the same route skipping the other brand if I had to start over.

Diode is like Bestop as far as how easy they make it sound…. About and hour and a half and a crapload of broken plastic and I’ve finally got the damn connector apart…. Annoying

I hope the passenger side isn’t this bad or I’lljust throw this jeep in the dump.

I’m guessing it’s some dust/dirt making things a pain in the ass. Couldn’t get the damn thing disconnected so had to remove the stupid fender. Racist.

Finally!!!!! After 5 hours, 3 of those learning how to take off fenders, breaking clips, pulling off wheels and cussing at the stupid connectors to come apart (that was the worst part) I’ve got em in! Now to aim and get the grill on and done! Look awesome! Kind of looks like a transformer. I just think bumblebee without the grill.

You do you but I highly recommend you take off your fenders to install. It took me forever and breaking one of the connectors to get the one under the fender apart. Would have been no way to get it apart if I didn’t take them off. Maybe if your Jeep is brand new and no dust/dirt anywhere, maybe you’d be able to get them off and apart, wasn’t happening for me.

If you’ve never taken your fenders off, do NOT listen to quadratecs video! I broke almost all the fender clips. Pull the fender UP not towards you, I’ll show you why.

If anyone has questions about my headache install, hit me up. I’m happy to share. It was a PITA but I’m happy it’s done and I got to learn more about my Jeep.

I also didn’t have the fuse box on the passenger side, so I’m not sure what year their vehicle was. I have a ‘22 but we have the same 2.0 motor. I also had a metal bracket on the passenger side that made it more difficult to run the wires. That and I have a winch so it’s already tight in that space. Pulling the passenger fender made easy work of it though, tons of access once I did that. I even cleaned up my winch wiring with some zip ties.

if you pull off fenders buy the black clips from the dealer, theyre $6 and you WILL break them. The white ones are only $1.60, can’t hurt to buy a few.

If you haven't removed it before, I'd suggest watching a couple of videos, it's a HARD tug on the bottom to get the clips to release.

I had more clearance issues with the lights I have on the bumper. Just disconnected the wiring and place a micro fiber in between the lights and grill so when you do the tug, it doesn't scratch.

My winch sits in low so not much of an issue, not sure if your winch sits up higher.

Tackling it now and it was easy! Was a little worried just had to shimmy past my winch

It looks like you were prying on those plugs from the wrong side, a small flathead inside the locking clip area will get them separated easily. Also, no need to pull fenders, just pop out the liners. I've had to do it three times for the AAL turn signals. Second time was yanking the garbage resistors they sent and the third was replacing a turn signal that went bad. Each time I only pulled the liners. Get a christmas tree removal tool but be ready to have to replace some, those clips aren't the highest of quality.

The lights look awesome, I may consider replacing my Oracle Bi-LEDs with these.


There is the fuse box on the passenger side of a 2.0L, right behind the battery.

Anyone running Amber DRL’s? All is good when car is on and running but if I pull the e brake one light goes to white and if I turn the car off from DRL mode one light goes white, one stays Amber

I’ll get some better pictures later but I’m tired haha.

I had some funny things happening too. When I started the jeep last night to go for a drive, the lights were just flickering and then the low beams or high beams wouldn’t come on. The DRLs were working , was odd. Seemed to work after 2 restarts of the Jeep.

@Diode Dynamics is there any benefit for those of us with a Tazer to switch the vehicle settings to LED when replacing halogen lamps?
