Stock JL High Beams

[LibertasJeep]

My high beams look exactly like my low beams. There is no noticeable difference. When I initially push (or is it pull?) the stock, the light gets brighter for a fraction of a second, but then goes back to the low beam brightness. This is even when the high beam indicator is showing on the cluster. In all honesty, it is possible it has been this way since I purchased the Jeep new four years ago. It gets very little use, and only started driving it myself recently. This is with the standard Sport S headlights - not the LED option. Is there a fuse (I couldn't identify one) or relay I should check?

Get an electrical tester and start with the plug.

That’s how my headlights worked on my ‘18 Sport. They suck, both low and high beam. Replaced with KC Hiltes, awesome!

Doesn't sound like there is a problem it is just typical sub standard performance by the crappy stock headlights.

While the standard headlights aren't great, there is a difference between high and low. If the indicator on your dash says the highs are on, it isn't a problem with stalk. I agree with testing the headlight plug with a tester.

I initially tried driving with the stock non-LED headlights, but the wind kept blowing the candle flames out.

Sounds like it might be a relay for the high beams that isn't working. I couldn't ID it either.

P.S.: check the upper left corner. "Run 2"
