NEW! Updated Design Pre-Runner Style LED Grill Light Kit

[XxsullyxX123]

@XxsullyxX123 I have a set on the way and I can’t wait to get them installed. I also have the LED package on my Jeep and I was wondering how you ultimately wound up wiring these lights up? Can you provide any feedback of what wires you tapped into? Any videos or pictures of the installation as well would be greatly appreciated. Electrical
Is not my thing

Unfortunately its all buttoned back up and I didnt take pics, as I am not a big picture during installation guy. I'm more of a cursing during installation kind of guy. First off, some of the install videos have you popping the rivets out of the most exterior edge of the fender and need to replace those. DON'T DO THAT. The 3 bolts and 3 christmas tree fasteners on the fender liner itself are all that need to be done.

To your question, for the LED lights it is not the 3 wires that are referenced in the install guides. it is 2 wires that split off of a larger bundle that goes to the DRL/Blinker. if you start at the orange corner LED parking light, you will see 2 wires come off of it. Black and white (more cream colored on mine) that is taped up that go to a small connector which on the other side of the connector is just a black and the white with the orange/brownish line. you can tap on either side of the connector and it will work just fine. black ground, white or white with stripe is parking power. There is less slack to work with than in any of the videos I've seen even after popping off the zip tie that clips the wires in that area, so its tight quarters. otherwise it was pretty easy. the 22 gauge wires are really really thin, so it is a little tedious clasping up the taps, but just take your time and make sure its lined up before using plier to bite down.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your reply. Hopefully it will
Make more sense once I get the lights and I get to open up the fender and see everything first hand.

What is the measured height and width of the lens of the lights and the measured width between mounting hole centers?

I've been thinking about wiring them to the DRL circuit using this adapter harness from Quadratec.

Quadratec DRL Adapter Wiring Harness

If they're wired to the DRL lights, will they also come on at night, when the DRL lights are off and the headlights are on?

@JP_Oracle,

Can you answer my question about the Quadratec wiring harness?

@JP_Oracle,

Can you answer my question about the Quadratec wiring harness?

No they will not. DRL circuit is only operable in day mode. In night mode the park lights turn on.

The LEDs I just bought 2 weeks ago (and just got fully installed when I got the new wiring harness as the first was faulty) have moisture in them. I was under the impression this was corrected a few months back. In any event, will this affect the life of the LED or short them out? Otherwise with the smoked lenses it’s not noticeable and doesn’t bother me at all. Thanks.

@JP_Oracle

I thought this issue was fixed?

I just purchased a set of these. But, I haven't installed them yet.

I'd like to know if this issue truly has been addressed before I install (and possibly need to reinstall) them.

It was addressed. However, if any other cases pop-up we can 100% replace them under warranty.

Does the moisture affect the life of the LED's? If not I'm fine to live with it. The Moisture got in right after install and doesnt want to dissipate on its own it seems. I can blow dry need be

1. Are both options amber? The tint just impacts how they look when off?
Yes, both are amber LED.
2. Would this fit the 4xe?
This will fit all Wranglers and Gladiators
3. Looks like the install and pictures shows them being paired with the parking lights. I’m assuming it’s possible to pair with the running lights?
This can be wired to whichever source you like. Our instructions are for park lights.

I'm guessing it won't work with the forward facing camera if you have that option.

If it just looks like a light fogging on the lens, it shouldn't. However, if it does, just be sure to reach out so we can get that replaced for you. No hassle!

Yes, these will work with the trail cam.

Thanks JP, despite what some say on here, my experience with you guys and customer service has been impeccable. Now, I wish I didnt have any issues, but sh*t happens. You guys got me square on the pre-runners, as well as a reverse light that didnt work out of the box no questions asked in the past 2 weeks.

 

[pnut]

Yes, these will work with the trail cam.

Thank you for the feedback!
