Are you talking about going from standard lights to LED's, or just upgrading the actual standard bulbs themselves. I assume you are wanting to go to LED's but some people don't want to change the entire unit. If you don't want to change to LED's there are not many standard bulbs that would cause a noticeable difference.

 

 

I want to change out whole unit to LED

 

JW Speaker for the fronts.

 

I'm liking the Oracle low profile lights I put on:

The backup lights are crazy bright. As originally received, the flasher portion of the right side light didn't work. Did the warranty rain dance with Oracle and they replaced it in relative short order.

 

Any modifications to factory wiring or plug ?

 

I'm very happy with my Quadratech stealth LED headlights and LED tail lights...plug and play. They won't break the bank either.

 

I went with the Xprite c shaped smoked lense taillights back in Oct 2022. Just took my old ones out, hooked these ones back to the factory harness and that's it. Plug and play and zero issues.

As for headlights, i was running Amazon leds for $90 and they were better than stock, had those for a year,, then upgraded to Procomp leds had those for another year and a few months back i decided to go back to conventional housings but with H4 bulbs. Was running Hella ecodes with Extremevision 150 h4 bulbs until yesterday as i switched to Koito H7 housings with same ExtremeVision H4 bulbs. My decision to go back to halogen was influenced by Procomp dropping their led headlights from the market a few months ago and with the winter driving i thought i was going to be doing with the Jeep non-heated leds are not exactly wintry friendly and i have zero interest in paying $700-$900 for heated headlights, not counting i'm not into how they look either. I like my stuff simple. Only thing i'm missing from my Procomps led headlights is the hi beam power. I have a set of 3" pods that give me that visibility so i have no issues running Halogen lights, and both Hellas or Koitos with H4 bulbs have better optics compared to the factory candle lights.

These are the Hella ecodes low beam with the H4 extremevision bulbs and h13 to h4 harness. This setup will cost you around $120-130, i got the Hella housings as a gift and i had the H13 to H4 harness already because they came with with my old Amazon led headlights. So my total cost was the $30 i paid for the H4 bulbs.

I need to take a few pictures in that same spot above to compare them with the Hellas and the procomps, but the Koitos low beam pattern is a tad wider than the Hellas so i like them better. That setup will run you $160-170, my cost was just the $120 i paid for the Koito housings.

Hella vs Koito, i love the classic look and they're real glass as opposed to the plastic chit you get now days.

How does Jeep still sell new JLs with halogen headlights? It's a crime.

 

That’s them.

 

I have PRO-COMP headlights and Quadratech tails lights. Very happy with both. headlights have been discontinued.

I too like the Quadratec tail lights- an OEM look with the brightness of LED. I upgraded the reverse light bulbs in mine (they come with incandescent reverse bulbs) to an LED array replacement.

I went with JW Speaker 8700 Evo J headlights, and they have been going strong coming up on 8 years so far.

 

$10 Harbor freight 4" led. been good now 6 years.

 

After knocking a tail light off my JK on Poison Spider, I installed a set of tail light plates from Motobilt

They take 4 inch round lights. Using the small lights for backups was a bad idea. I'm going to add brighter lights at a later date.

 

I put JW Speaker J2s on some years ago. They aren't the cheapest, but it was the single most functional and best performing mod I've ever done. Going from the stock Jeep headlights (I have a '15 also) to these LED units are like night and day (see what I did there? 😁).

I would put JWS taillights in also, but I got a gift from my kids and used the Audexen tail lights. You can get these on Amazon, it's plug and play, they are only $125 for the pair, and....despite being a Chinese product...they look really good and perform well.

 

I did buy the Oracle tail lights. Email said they deliver on FEb 20th. I have not purchased head lights yet. I do know I can’t afford the $600 ones though.
