NEW STYLE Jeep Wrangler LED Headlights -- Install, Testing, and Review

[@thomashervieux5033]

Would like to see which fuse you would run the daytime running lights wire into.

[@inkledoodle6503]

Got these. Low beams (dipped in UK) were faulty and just randomly turned on and off when they were supposed to be steady on. Halo and High beam were fine. Can’t wait 2 weeks for delivery for replacement. Shame - looked good when they worked.

[@pdebenedictis1]

Could you describe the daytime option in more detail?

[@user-xd1cr5wt1e]

I have 2016 Jeep wrangler in Canada. I installed as above. Once I shift to drive and release the park, DRL is on( both low and high beam are on ) 😂I got a lot flash from oncoming vehicles. So I have to drive low beam during daytime.

[@21SethG]

Great job on this video!!! Really love the tape trick for the aligning the lights! A lot of people forget to mark the original lights before removing them!!!

[@philipschutter1626]

looks great. your high beam demo really helped me make the decision. so many cheap headlights have great low beams but almost no high beams. Thanks a lot.

Ty for this vid. Bought and installed successfully !! One of the best upgrades I have done in a while. De stock lights are so bad, wow. I see the road now =D Since I live in Belgium I have an European JK (2012 rubicon) and the DRL wiring was even easier. The stock light had a mini light bulb plugged in the man light dome as DRL. Connected to red one with the positive end and everything works as stock. Realy happy with the result Thumbs up!

Nice wiring breakdown. Thanks. Putting these in my humvee build and couldn't figure out what the red wire did. Rest all checks per the bench test! thanks

[@cshead69]

I'm confused about your statement on the wiring of the DRL. You mention you don't have fog lights on your bumper, but you installed them on that wire harness? You show the blinker light, did you power the DRL off that? What slot in the fuse box exactly did you use before as you mentioned the easier method?

[@TacticalJK]

For my setup i wired my drls into my fog light wiring harnesses , and then programmed my jeep to run the fog lights at all times, so the drls stay on. For the wiring in the fuse box just search up jeep jk halo wiring on youtube because i do no remember, thanks!

[@TacticalJK]

Hey! I have a 2.5 in teraflex lift, I believe it is this one amzn.to/3DZ0y12 . I actually moved it from my old jeep, so it has been used for over 4 years and has held up great. I think it rides good, but i dont have anything to compare it too. I wasn’t able to tell a ride difference after switching from stock, but I didn’t pay too much attention to it.

[@noisufnoc]

I picked these up after watching your video, and really like the look of the lights! Unfortunately they don't seem to fit very well on my 2018 JKU. Only one of the tabs in the headlight bucket/mount lines up with the LED light. I'm hoping to figure out what I can trim/adjust to make them seat properly.

[@TacticalJK]

So Sorry for the late reply!!Im sure you have the issue fixed by now, but if not the fix seems to be just putting on the retainer ring. It should balance everything out and hold it solidly in place regardless of the issue. Hope you were able to get them working!

[@dougcoleburn1579]

did you find a fix to the issue?

[@jizhang1189]

I got this light after watch this video. installed, Lights look and work fantastic. Was able to fuse tap into a fuse Box for the DRLs as well. Thanks for the video and review! But there is a problem, when headlight switch off, Low and High beam will be on when gear is not in P position. Everything is normal when headlight switch is on position. Do you know where is the problem came from? Thanks

[@TacticalJK]

Hey! It is likely that your Jeep is set to run the highbeams as a factory Daytime running light , so it sends power to the lights when the vehicle is in drive, but stops sending power when the vehicle is parked. This is not the normal setting for U.S.A Jeeps, but jeeps in many other countries are sold with that setting to meet regulations. It would have done that with the old headlights as well, if what I am thinking is true. If your jeep is set up to run the highbeams as DRL, then unfortunately the only way to turn that setting off would be to reprogram the Jeep.

[@user-xd1cr5wt1e]

I have the same problem. 😂 now my DRL is too bright and have to switch to low beam even driving in daytime.

[@scratchnbell]

Good Job on the video

[@TacticalJK]

Thanks!!!

[@hassanBinMoshi]

Great video and tips! I just ordered mine on Amazon through your link, but it's saying delivery is between May 22nd and June 15th? is that Accurate? Do you know what I can do to get sooner?

[@TacticalJK]

Thank you😁! But I’m sorry to say I’m not sure about the delivery times😞 You may want to try contacting Audexen directly through their social media/website.

[@Harveje]

Thx for the video...got mine today after backordered. ? 2015 jku passenger side fit in the bucket fine but drivers side tabs don’t want to seat in the bucket around the 10-11 o’clock position leaving a gap. If anyone has any info or pictures I’d appreciate it. Thanks again

[@TacticalJK]

Hate that your having an issue with the lights :( I would try tightening on the retainer ring over the lights , as it should hold the headlight in place regardless of the fit. It may actually force the tab into place once you get it secured. Just something to try - thanks!

[@Harveje]

Tactical JK Thanks I did that and it did close the gap a I think the back of the light is hitting either the bucket or something behind it and I can’t get a good angle to see. I’m not a fan of jeeps headlight holding, aligning, and positioning design. I do like the lights and if they hold up it’ll be worth the effort to get them to fit

[@Ealcantar7]

Just got mine, but they don't quite fit. Did you have to buzz any part housing to make them fit? I have a 2015 wrangler JK.

[@TacticalJK]

Hey, several others have unfortunately had this issue, where one of the tabs doesn’t exactly fall into place. The best strategy is to just put on the retainer ring. The retainer ring should hold it solidly in place regardless of the issue. Hope you are able to get them working!!

[@BangPhoto]

This video was well done!

[@TacticalJK]

Thank you!!

[@terrysmith6439]

I have a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Big Bear. I bought these Audexen headlights and fog lights with the halo light. I had my mechanic instal them but they are not working as fully intended. He tells me it's because my lights are computer controlled. Does anyone know a way around this?

[@bobl8687]

Great video. What color (hot) wire did you tap into for the Halos from the front direction/markers @ 4:39

[@TacticalJK]

I didn’t tap into the front markers on the final setup, I tapped into the fog lights b/c of the way I have my jeep programmed. I am fairly sure that I tapped into the middle wire of the markers during the shot you referenced, but it did not work great as the Jeep set off a low light voltage check engine light, so I changed it. It might could work tho, but I wouldn’t recommend that method from my experience

[@jweezy_864]

Are these dedicated to Jeeps only or do you think they’d work on other vehicles with round 7 inch lamps?

[@wendellaustria1962]

They match your grill.

[@TacticalJK]

Right!!

[@mr.mortadella1174]

thinking about picking up these lights. How are they holding up thus far. My last amazon halo lights burnt out .

[@TacticalJK]

No issues so far. The halos don’t seem to have dimmed any, and the lens shows no signs of fading. Would definitely recommend 👍

[@steveb611]

How do you get just the LEDs to come on by themselves? I hooked up into the fuse box. The only time the LEDs will stay on by themselves without the headlights is when it's in neutral. Soon as you take off emergency brake the lights come on

[@TacticalJK]

Your jeep is probably set to run the main beams all the time as DRLs. That's not standard for USA jeeps, but USA jeeps can be configured that way way to fix that would be to get a JSAN tool and change your jeep's DRL setting.

[@harrisonhartog591]

The lights don’t seem to line up in the factory mounts. Did you have to mess with it at all?

[@TacticalJK]

If its not 100% perfect, but close, you should be able to just mount the retainer ring and it should all hold up great. One notch on one of mine didn’t fit in all the way (a few mm off) but once I mounted the retainer ring everything was perfectly solid. I apologize for not mentioning that detail in the video ( I did/do not see it as an issue, but I definitely should have provided the information regardless). I hope you are able to get them working.

[@clarkrollins3629]

Have you noticed any major heat coming from the back of the headlight housing that has affected any of the Jeep wiring that is ran close to the back of the headlights once installed? I ordered a set but they fit so tight to all the wiring when pushed into mounting ring, I was thinking if they get hot it’ll melt some important wiring. As a rule, I thought LED lights produced a lot of heat that usually needs fans to cool them.

[@TacticalJK]

Hey! So I didn’t notice any issues when I took mine off a few weeks ago (to test some other stuff). I have had several 4 hr + night road trips with them on in the past few years. I don’t think they really get that hot.

They have a flat cut off. You can see it well in at 5:00, where the headlights are shining against the wall. My old set of headlights had a similar issue to yours in that the low beam shined very high, as if the high beam was on all the time. These are more much better👍🏼

Hey! I am not sure about getting the straight, I only know how to adjust them horizontally and vertically. I might would try getting them aligned straight (even uf they don’t fit in the notches right) and then tightening the retaining ring down in whatever position they are in. I would think the retaining ring could hold it in place even if everything doesn’t align perfectly in the brackets. Hope you are able to get it working!!!
