Jeep Gladiator Mod Review Series - Mopar LED Light Upgrade

[@Gzus]

I bought some Mopar LED takeoffs for my father-in-law's 2018 JL. He doesn't care about the halo, so I'm guessing it should just be a plug-and-play install. Did you need to use a Tazer for the basic headlights (low and high beams) to function correctly with no flicker? UPDATE: Yes, the Jeep needed to be programmed to prevent the OEM LED headlights from flickering.

Wish I could replace them all at once. I’ll be upgrading my halogens on my Sport S to the Oracle Oculus LED headlights very soon. Great video!

[@lifemattified7393]

Thanks for watching and good luck with your LED swap!

[@huntinbob06]

Much easier to replace those headlights with no winch. I just bought the Mopar LED's for my JLUR and it will be a chore to take the winch off to be able to take the grill off.

[@lifemattified7393]

Agreed...and thanks for visiting my channel!

[@thomasfritts5701]

I see from the comments that you had to use a Tazer for the Halos. Did you have to use the Tazer for the Fender lights as well, or were they pretty much plug and play?

[@lifemattified7393]

Hey Thomas and thanks for checking out my videos! Yes, the Tazer comes in handy, and to me is worth it. It was needed to set the DRLs to LED as well.

[@josephrivera8112]

Great video, did you have to have the Jeep flashed for LED lights at the dealer?

[@lifemattified7393]

Thanks a lot for visiting the channel. I didn’t get them flashed since I have a Tazer JL Mini. It really keeps down the costs of going to the dealer for flashes over and over.

Great video thank you for sharing it !! Quick question I just traded my JK for a 2021 JL Sahara and want to change the headlights for the HALO LED like yours but I don't have the time to run the cable to the cabin so I hear that the 2021 JL'S come pre wire, how true you think that is? Thank you my friend.

[@lifemattified7393]

Your '21 JL should be wired the same as my '21 JT was...but it's really easy to check. Just pop off your grill and unscrew one of your existing lights. Then pull the wiring harness off the back. If you see 4 pins in the harness then you should be good to go! Thanks for visiting the channel.

I changed my drl to led but on dash it says blinker bulbs out but it does work. Did you have to program anything.

[@lifemattified7393]

Just make sure you perform the restart after changing a setting!

[@lifemattified7393]

Did you get this worked out? Sorry my friend, one thing I would make sure of is that the firmware is current on your Tazer.

[@davidrofa4875]

@@lifemattified7393 hey thanks for the replay my tazer is up to date but I still can’t get them to work do u remember how u did urs which settings did u turn on

[@lifemattified7393]

The option in the Tazer menu is like "LED DRLs?" or something like that. I just set mine to 'yes', did a reboot, and they worked. Sorry, but that's all I know about the process.

[@lifemattified7393]

@@davidrofa4875 I think the option was called: "Enable LED DRLs" or something like that. Sorry, my friend, but that's all I remember when I set it up.

[@coff24]

Where did you get 3rd brake like decal (GLADIATOR ) thanks

[@lifemattified7393]

Honestly I can't remember. I just did a Google search and I think found them on Etsy ultimately!

[@ericb1324]

Do you have an install video of the headlights?

[@lifemattified7393]

Hey Eric...thanks for visiting the channel. I don't but it's so easy. Open the hood. Remove the grille. Then it's just 2 screws on each headlamp. Remove those, unclip the harness, and you're done.

[@Oneking2]

Are the Tires 35"??

[@lifemattified7393]

No these are 33s. I’m debating 35s, but most likely will lose 8th gear. Thanks for checking out the channel.

[@Blanchy101]

No issues using the Rubicon DRL's with the sport fenders?

[@Blanchy101]

Do you have the max tow package?

[@lifemattified7393]

Not at all. Actually my fenders on the Sport S are overland fenders. No issue at all with the DRLs. Smooth install. Thanks for checking out the channel!

[@lifemattified7393]

@@Blanchy101 No I do not.

[@Blanchy101]

@@lifemattified7393 Thanks for the reply, I just found out that the paint match fenders actually use the same light as the Rubicon where the non paint matched fenders use a completely different light. Now to track down a set of led DRL's

[@lifemattified7393]

@@Blanchy101 No worries at all…I ordered some Rubicon black fenders with the LEDs back in May. They’re back ordered until Sep 16th…but I plan to sell my current ones when I get them in.

[@boxerdad214]

What's the cost ?

[@lifemattified7393]

I bought the headlights and taillights from Mopar (don't remember what I paid). Fender LEDs and fogs I got from a Gladiator Forum online (classified ad basically). Prices would vary now like anything...you can Google by the part #s in the video description.

[@slavakuznetsov4966]

Do they ever fog like Oracle?

[@lifemattified7393]

I have never had a fogging issue!
