Great Video checking out all the headlights! Nice Rig Alex!

[@GoXplr]

Yall never fail to bring the best reviews , while still having fun and being honest 👍. Is pops coming to Daytona this year again ….

[@MajestyBlue5]

I thought this was going to be another one of those product videos where you show off all these budget friendly headlights and then show off the much more expensive Diode Dynamics lights and use this as a plug for those headlights. But in fact that was not what happened and you guys just made a fun video on budget friendly headlights. Props to the DRC guys for keeping it real. I love my true mods headlights, close to factory appearing but at an affordable price. Cool to see you guys show those lights on the channel

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Thanks for the nice comment!

[@jlautomotive6349]

You have me sold on that first set, the cut off and the amount of output would dramatically change my incandescent candles I have on my JT… That said, you spend $3-400 on an aftermarket set vs $1000 on say Diod Dynamics lights… which would make you more angry when they go out vs buying a set of OEM LED Jeep lights?? As always, really enjoyed this informative video and seeing you guys having fun makes it all worth while… keep up the incredible work!!👍

[@jeremyjohnson4974]

Great video, guys! I have been running the true mods headlights since last July on my 2020 Punk'n Sahara. They are super bright and reliable thus far.

[@Drizzy813]

Thinking about buying these for a 2020 Sahara I’m looking to buy. How have they held up? And did you also get the T adapter for DRL or just used wiring it came with?

[@jeremyjohnson4974]

They have been great. I haven't had any issues with them. I used the wiring that they came with for the DRL. I plugged them into the driver heated seat fuse spot.

[@Theb4dcompany]

I run the Boss on my 1979 K-5 and I love it. Works better than the original and can’t beat the price.

[@Jrbrass]

Loved your channel, watch it every time a new video comes out. Question: I have been in the market for a Rubicon, probably a used one. New ones right now, way too expensive. Second, I love the old Nacho or Baja yellow. Don't care for the highlighter yellow they have now. Have you ever done a video on the tops? I would prefer an all-out yellow Rubicon, but most I'm finding have black tops. I've seen a video or two stating the black tops get very hot and you can feel the heat coming down from them. Plus, the black top and black fenders really fade within a couple of years. I live in Arizona where the summers can get over 112. So, the Jeeps with black top are a concern for me. If you have done a video regarding black tops, could you please include the link to it? As I stated above, love your channel. Keep up the great work.

As I’m in the market for LED’s, I’m leaning toward replacing just the bulbs, in my stock halogen lights. Mostly because that’s what I have done for years, with the aerodynamic headlights lately on the market, no round headlights anymore, except Wrangler/Gladiators. I have a Sport S, I know I can change the bulbs without removing the grill. I’m looking at Morimoto 4.0 that comes in pairs for $210, that I’ve used the 2.0 before and was very pleased, till one went to half output in 35 months, of a 36 months period of warranty and by the time I was able to contact them, I was a week late and they left me hanging. Now I’m looking at all types and lean towards the Sylvania brand LED, due to the fact before LED’s I used Sylvania Silver Star Ultra Halogen that were an improvement over all stock bulbs. Maybe I’ll do a video with what I end up using. I know using led in reflective lighting is not DOT approved, but I know to aim properly not to blind oncoming traffic.

[@bmiller8735]

Thanks guys, appreciated!

[@nathanbritton1019]

"SSOB" Funniest video yet. I laughed hard at this.

[@krashnpa]

LOL, now I want to install a set of BOSS lights on our JT just to piss my wife off 😊

[@DIRTROADCRED]

😂

[@nickdemizio3952]

I got myself a pair of Amazon lights for my JK last year they’ve been running strong don’t regret that investment

[@mikeclark5879]

Great video! I am so glad that I saw this video. I have been looking for a good led light for my 23 JT. Have been leaning towards the ORM led lights, found them on sale for $932. But I was really impressed with the 1st light True Mods 9 in . They are 18% off on Amazon for $249. I think that’s the best option for me. I guess they were the dual halo? Didn’t really say in video, just looked that way? Thanks again, great job. I also hit subscribe, that was my first time watching your videos. 👍

[@wp_smedli88]

I put the first lights on my Jeep for a while then switched to the Oracle lights. Regarding the first lights Even after adjusting when I had my low beams on I got a lot of high beams from on coming traffic. I have them on the shelf.

[@MajestyBlue5]

I assume your Jeep must be raised very high then. I have a Mojave that comes higher factory then the other models and i actually had to raise my passenger side headlight. My cut off is lower then people mirrors and I used to get flashed at a lot when I had the awful factory halogens

[@wp_smedli88]

@@MajestyBlue5 Just small 2” lift the lights were bright to some I guess. But after a year with the Oracles I still haven’t got a high beam flash from on coming traffic.

[@Smyth1122]

Matt, thank you for this video! I'm currently looking to upgrade my headlights through Amazon.

[@Smyth1122]

I ordered the True Mods LEDs with the DRL wiring harness. Thanks again Matt! I've been debating on headlights for 2 weeks now. You made me feel confident in my decision!

[@MajestyBlue5]

@@Smyth1122I own these headlights. Love them. Definitely worth the price and I love how they look factory. The high beams are insane

[@nickbrisbane8306]

@@MajestyBlue5 any issues with "light out" codes? or flickering? i've been looking at these for a while but going from halogen to led, that always worries me a little

[@arturopc]

The True Mods LED is what I have on my JL and don't need to use the high beam, plenty of light on those things

[@tdsmith]

An excellent review, Matt!

[@Linda_Cosita]

I have some off brand Amazon ones on my 15 jk. Not sure if my brother messed up the wiring when helping me install but the lights cut off randomly.. time to upgrade but on a tight budget.. lol

[@philkane4390]

Nice vid, hilarious last ones,

[@DidierBan]

The HWSTAR has gone up on price since the making of this video 10 months ago. A clear proof that prices go up in the winter holidays .

[@mudducktn2614]

can you guys test whip lights or rock lights? I'm super interested to see how some of the magnetic rock lights work. Thanks!

[@DIRTROADCRED]

Good idea

[@oliveriom]

Great video! Can that T-harness be used for a headlight with an integrated turn signal (as opposed to a t-tap)

[@andbow9417]

Issue that I am experiencing ( and may be the same for many) is the cracked headlight. Is this common?

[@BStavFishingAndHunting]

Just bought a super clean 2012 Sahara JK. In your opinion, what is the best plug and play replacement LED headlight that does not include a built-in turn signal? Thank you.

[@ahmednesbitte4906]

Hi Matt, have you ever considered Alpharex Jeep Headlights for a JL//JT comparison to Diode Dynamics?

[@Jon-i3o]

Do I need the T harness for the first lights (True Mods) or am I good with using the red wiring harness that comes with it?

[@AoW7]

How do the super7 stand up to the diodes?

[@xtina818]

5:35 "is it daytime?" - the neighbors

[@Drizzy813]

So do I need the T adapter to run the True Mods w/DRL or only the red harness that comes with it?

[@Hurrican72]

The original lights on that jeep was what? Led or halogen, i ask so if led no adapter need but if halogen.. would you need the adapter?

[@TheAlbertoirizarry]

Hey, can I use 1 T adapter for the DRL on both headlights?

[@kevinborgmann]

Keep up the good content and Jeep news. Maybe focus on quality accessories and not the cheap Amazon stuff. To your credit you have found some good stuff there also but my experience is buy quality over cheap saves $$$ overall. 5 Jeeps in, building 392 pics will come. Anyway, thanks DRC for good info and videos! Keep it up.

[@ha8ermade]

The first pair come with a single or double DRL. Which ones did y'all buy?

[@dannyeadens7808]

Id probably go with the Trucklite brand. From what i understand from a Ridgid rep they were bought out by Ridgid. So good stuff. Me myself am just fine with the factory led headlights on my 392.

[@DIRTROADCRED]

What should we test next? Thanks to On X Offroad for sponsoring this video 20% off code: drc20 bit.ly/onXoffroadDRC

[@LukeEdward]

What about testing add-on backup lights? I know, for me, it took some trial and error (and $$$) before I got mine right. especially with the base Sport model and the plastic bumper. Folks might like to see the different solutions. Maybe mounting options & possibly a “Plug ‘n Play” solution, as well.

[@Schnazzy_JT]

Curious about the Oracle racetrack lights for Gladiator. The shop is on point and looking good!

[@NamelessGlasses]

For a potential future video: Since no once else has done it, was wondering how the new beadlock capable wheels from the MY24s and up look in their beadlock configuration. They appear to use the 24 bolt "scalloped" looking rings that the non-XR 392 and that one MPP wheel used. Might change a lot of folks' opinions on the new wheels 🤔

[@Demon_Outlaw]

Taillights so many good companies ones I use led bright with back up lights well better than factory. Well worth purchase 2 years not single issue even with one cracked tree damaged flawless operation.

[@malmezcalreviewslifestyle]

What about a head to head between Diode Dynamics vs Morimotos.

[@ha8ermade]

Yeah... Never mind! Lol

[@midwestcrappieman7796]

Where the JK unicorn 🦄🙄🙄🙄🙄

SSOꓭ 😂

[@thomashubbard6555]

So they just used Dex’s video idea but with round lights? They could at least thank him

[@StlrNtn95]

Thanks Dex! 🫡
