Amazon also says it fits a 2005 Toyota 4Runner! LOL! My guess is Amazon will tell you it fits anything because they aren’t considering the mounting bracket. I would steer clear if your looking for those brackets to fit your JL.

Kinda what I figured, but I thought I'd check here to see if someone actually purchased them and knew for sure if they fit or not.

True. I see a lot of brackets. Surprised there aren't more light/bracket combos. So, do most folks buy the brackets and then choose lights separately that they hope will bolt to it???

What I noticed is the LED Pod/Bracket combos are usually offered by brand name companies and as such, they are quite expensive.. I think choosing a separate bracket/LED Pod combo would give you more options at a much lower price.. :)

For example.. these brackets look super clean and it is quite cheap IMHO... you will probably have to repaint them as these cheap brackets usually don't age well... but heck... $24 ??? I cannot have a Burrito + beer for that cheap where I live.. LOL...

But even there, the Amazon listing for the bracket goes to JLs up to 2020... are you sure that applies to a 2023?

I guess the seller has been lazy and has not updated the marketing material.. LOL... but the JL's A-Pillar design really doubt has changed at all even for 2023..

I have those same type brackets, they work well and you are correct regarding the finish. It starts out as a nice gloss black but eventually becomes bronze. I'm actually cool w/ the finished "finish" as I have a couple bronze accents on my Jeep, so they tie-in ok.
Same thing happened w/ my 3 grill marker lights, the outer ring started out gloss black and is now bronze, but at least all the parts are staying bronze and aren't rusting, so that's good :)
