Was wanting to see if anyone has installed the J.W. Speaker 6145 LED Fog Lamps on a 2013 or 2014 Jeep JK?

If so was wanting to see if they powered up and ran fine using by splicing into the original JK fog light wires, with no additional wiring needed? I have a set on order, but was looking for input from someone with a newer model Jeep before I attempted it.

As long as it isn't a Rubi x or a 10th anniversary you'll be fine. There are some mounting problems with the 6145 and the bumpers that the above referenced models use. The standard bumper works just fine though for the 6145's. Also if you don't want to cut into the factory wires, there are finally adapter harnesses out there(not sure if I can reference the sellers)

BaboonBP,

It is a 14 Sahara. Unfortunately I had already cut the stock plug ends off trying to hook up some other fogs, (55w halogens) but the canbus would not work with them. After a few tries with those fogs I decided to go with the JW Speaker LED's due to hearing they were "plug and play" with only splicing on 2010 and up JK's needed.

I plan to hook them up and test them first and if all is well will just go ahead and solder the JW's onto the factory leads.

Thanks for the heads up however on a harness being available and for the input!

Got the JW Speaker 6145 hooked up today. Finally an aftermarket fog that works with the 2014 canbus and also the stock fog light switch!!

Soldered the new lights right to factory wires and no problems at all. Mounts were also 100% right on, just remove the old and screw the new lights in.

Thanks to those who took the time to reply!

Hey guys,

Do you all know if the 6145's bracket aligns with the factory holes or does one have to drill new mounting holes in the light's bracket/frame for proper alignment and mounting?

I ask as I have a PSC Brawler Lite bumper with the factory fogs installed and want to replace them with the 6145's but I'd rather not remove the winch and bumper to make the swap if these will align with my current oem mount setup?

Thank you for any help, Scott

Not sure if I can link the vendor, but if you do a Google search for 'jeep jk wrangler led foglight housing adapter wires' you will find a vendor that has a harness for sale. With the 2014 you have you will want the 2504 bulb version.

You can also order the connectors separately and solder/heat shrink a set up yourself. I'd have to dig up the connectors you need, so if you want that info instead just let me know.

Thank you. Question: the JW Speaker 6145 foglight has a spring loaded screw that I can not see because they are installed in my bumper.
Does anyone Know if it is a torx or hex and what size.
Much appreciated.
I know the aiming "process" just need adjustment screw head info.

I ordered a pair of 6145's from Headlight Revolution at 3:00 PM PDT and they shipped the same day and they are located 2 hours behind me. Great service!

I also ordered the wire adaptor to the 2504 bulb. I don't get it because you are no longer using the 2504 bulb and that is what it was made for so I ended up splicing and soldering but either way they look and work great.

Holy F"&k I give up.......thanks guys.....

Do ANY questions actually get answered?

No

Yes..
Maybe! :)

In all honesty, I *thought* the 6145s just had a simple Philips screw head on them for an adjuster.

I can't be 100% sure on the tool, however, I did take a few minutes to aim my 6145s alongside the 8700s when I installed mine.

I basically aimed the 8700s first, then aimed the 6145s to appropriately fill in the void between the 8700 pattern and the front of the Jeep. Once I had what I thought looked right dialed it, I had my wife drive the Jeep while I drove in front of her in another vehicle to ensure that everything was pointed in the right direction and that I didn't have any hot spots.

Hope this helps!

JW Speaker 6145 fogs

Guys I just installed 6145 in my 2014 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and just want to know if anyone else has a hot spot under there lights??? This is really annoying.. If i adjust them all the way down it goes away for the most part but then the fog lights only extend out about 10 feet Is this normal????


This line is really bright

I apologize, I said I'd get back to you and I did not forget - I just couldn't find where/who I said I'd get back to them.
The good news is (??) My lights are aimed perfectly and Yes - mine have the same "Hot Spot" line in the same place.
So, much like a lump on the left side of your head - you basically have one on the right side too except its mine so..... right wrong or indifferent (and lately with JWS, I'd say indifferent) it is "normal".
