XK Glow JL/JT Fender Vent Turn Signal w/ RBG Glow

[@derekblackshire]

What adjustments were needed and why? This was generally helpful but could’ve provided a lot more insight like you expressed at the beginning. Thanks for shedding some light!

[@evolvedjeepin]

The hardest part about this install is figuring out which wires to tap into, their direction didn't have that so it was more of a trial thing to figure it out. But unfortunately what I have been told is all jeeps are different. So the colors of my wires might be different then yours.

[@derekblackshire]

That’s so weird. It would seem like all groups would be the same ie- jk/jl

[@Ice_Diver_Ed]

I’m glad I’m not the only person who uses my sleeve to wipe things clean.

[@seanthomas1835]

Did you ever figure out which wire the white 12v got plugged into?

[@PilotVolunteer]

The video is great. The music is way too loud and annoying. Please make more helpful videos minus the annoying music

[@tbbadboy401]

How does the turn signal function work? This is main reason I want to get. Hard to connect?

[@evolvedjeepin]

Work greats, no issues, it's nice to have a signal on the side of the jeep. Install is pretty easy just following instructions.

[@tbbadboy401]

Great thanks. Going to get it for my gladiator. Thanks for the video

[@Darkmenace9]

Excellent video going to install these on my 2024 4xe Sahara will let you know how it goes... Keep up the great videos...

[@evolvedjeepin]

Sweet, make sure you use the discount code that I have in the description to save yourself some money if buying from their website.

[@kirkbertram5724]

Just installed the lights and was wondering if there is a timeout feature for the rgb lights? Kind of doubt it since there is an on/off switch. Thanks!

[@evolvedjeepin]

Yes there is a time out feature.

[@kirkbertram5724]

Didn’t experience the timeout feature, but XKGlow customer service made a few suggestions and now everything works like a charm! I’ve owned their products for 5-6 years now and they provide excellent support and service. The iPhone app is a killer and so easy to use!

[@benmckeen7060]

What did you connect the white 12v wire too? It doesnt tell you where to hook it up?

[@evolvedjeepin]

Honestly I can't remember, I know when I was doing it I had to test things out to figure it out.

[@MRSTEEL15]

So at night time, it will stay on with your headlights and when you use the turn signal ,it will blink the same way? Cause I see it's not night time and your light is still on.....

[@Nickvrey]

Looks good Good job on the install !

[@jakevsworldgames5676]

This may be a stupid question but would those count as front blinkers? I just bought fenders that don’t have turn signals and was wondering if this could be a good fix. Please let me know. And if they don’t do you have any suggestions?

[@evolvedjeepin]

I definitely don't think these can be considered front blinkers because they are behind the fenders and you can't see them from the front.

[@derekblackshire]

What are “the appropriate wires?”

[@evolvedjeepin]

That is the issue, each jeep has different colored wires, or that is what I have been told. So the colors I used in my video might be different then yours.

[@derekblackshire]

I see, I thought all JLs were the same. Truly appreciate your response!

[@dylanguenzburger]

I recently purchased these lights. The top side of the vent is not snugging up to the vehicle like I would like it to, leaving a small gap between the light and jeep that you can feel when you push on the vent. I would like this tighter to the jeep as I think water might potentially get down in there. I think this might be caused by the 3M strip on the bottom of the vent. Did you experience this problem? I am wondering if I put a small piece 3M tape near the top it would fix the issue.

[@evolvedjeepin]

There was a bit of a gap but nothing that I was concerned about.

[@dylanguenzburger]

@@evolvedjeepin Thanks for the comment back. I am mentally over the vent gap but the lights do seem to have a bit of a flicker to them. I have the 12V power wire ran to an accessory post on the fuse panel. Have you experienced this? Would a resistor help with this issue you think?

[@evolvedjeepin]

@@dylanguenzburger I don't have a flicker, sometime at night my turn signal will hyper flash. I think it is a power draw issue, its not really a big issue so I haven't really gotten around to figuring out a solution for that. But I don't have a flicker.

[@withthatjules]

I know this video is a year old but did you have issues with the connectors or moisture problems? Did you do any additional water sealant on the connectors?

[@evolvedjeepin]

No I haven't had any issues like that. The only issue I had was it would connect to my phone but that was an android issue and it's now fixed.

[@Darkmenace9]

What did you wire the white 12 volt into?

[@evolvedjeepin]

Honestly I can't remember, I would have to go through the video to see what I did. Or go under the hood to see.

[@jeffallen3933]

I've been considering getting these, however there is one thing that keeps me from it and is my question to you. With blocking off the vent ports with this solid fixture; Does this create hood turbulence or "flutter" at higher speeds? The engineer who designed the JL mentioned this as the purpose for the vents. Please let me know, great video. Thanks for showing all the functions!

[@evolvedjeepin]

I heard the same thing, but I haven't noticed any issues at high speeds.

[@jeffreyallen8084]

@@evolvedjeepin Good to hear, thanks! Awesome Jeep!

[@dayesloope2221]

I just installed my lights this weekend. I did not connect everything to the battery itself as I plan on putting all my lights on aux switches. So currently they are just tied into the wiring harness for my turn signal. However, my turn signal looks more like a strobe light. Any idea if I can change this and how? Thanks. I currently have other things tied directly to my battery which is why I haven't hooked these up to Bluetooth yet. Thanks

[@evolvedjeepin]

Actually sometime my lights turn into strobe lights, it doesn't happen all the time and unfortunately I haven't figured out why. I assume it might be something to do with one of the connections but I haven't had a chance to investigate.

[@dayesloope2221]

@@evolvedjeepin thanks. I can't lie, I am not used to or good with electrical stuff so I am hoping I don't have to redo the connections to figure it out 🤞. If you do figure it out would you please post your resolution for us!

[@1976pelos]

What kind of fender clips do i need to order in case some get broken . For a 4xe 2022

[@evolvedjeepin]

I didn't... I did break a few of the clips but I am not concerned because the 10mm bolt on the underside are what really hold the fenders on.

[@umermunir8533]

Did you install them on your 4XE? @john henao

[@jeremyburns7254]

Do you have to have button switch on inside to turn on and off or will app do it

[@evolvedjeepin]

There is a button on the control unit, but you can also activate it with the app. Most people just use the app.

[@MrsAmyKirby]

Do the amber turn lights run independent of the colored led? Could you power the side led's from your aux button, and have the Amber lights still function with your turn signals?

[@evolvedjeepin]

Yes the amber lights run independently of the colored lights. Yes I believe you could actually rum them to an aux button, that is actually someone I plan to do eventually.

[@Booskie-yf5st]

@evolvedjeepin have you installed directly to the aux switch that came with factory? Wondering if you can give guidance on what to do with the Bluetooth module if you use aux switch.

[@cameronfrazier6265]

My factory wiring was different on the driver side. What colors did you tap into for the Red, and Blue wires from the light assembly?

[@evolvedjeepin]

I tapped into red, yellow and black and mine were the same on both sides. In the instructions they did say that each vehicle can vary. When I did mine I actually had to figure it out by trial and error because the instructions were different colors. What I figured out was that there are two grounds on the wiring harness so you want to use the three wires on the side where the ground is the third one in. So color, color ,ground.

[@t.p1234xyz]

I recommend you get and use a test light it will make installation much easier.

[@umermunir8533]

How did you hook up the 12v+ white wire? Ty

[@evolvedjeepin]

There was two wires that I hooked up to the same power wire, I can't remember what color that was, thinking it was yellow.

[@dayesloope2221]

@EvolvedJeepin so you hooked the 12 v directly to one if the wires if this wiring harness? You didn't need to run it directly to the battery?

[@kirkbertram5724]

I hate it when people drop a conversation!

[@Steely33]

i was wondering this myself?

[@srtamplification]

Doesn't your Jeep have the Auxiliary switches you could have tied it to?

[@evolvedjeepin]

No I did not get that option, but will be adding something in the future.

[@srtamplification]

@@evolvedjeepin They are great. You can program them on the screen to be momentary or latched and to be either ignition controlled or not.

[@FDSender]

​@@srtamplificationCan you explain how? Not a fan of the outer RGB light staying on after the vehicle is turned off even if only for 5 minutes. Would like it to be controlled to where when you turn the ignition on, they come on.

[@srtamplification]

@FDSender ​@FDSender There is a box under the hood that you can connect things to. They are controlled by a controller you can access in your menu. There are videos on KZbin that show you how.

[@coachtoddm]

Do your turn signals work without the running lights being on? Seems like after install the turn signals only work when my lights are on.

[@evolvedjeepin]

I had that problem at first, it means you are connected to the wrong power line, try switching it to another one.

[@coachtoddm]

@@evolvedjeepin thank you

[@stevepadgett4071]

How’s your XK Glow fender lights working now?

[@evolvedjeepin]

Still working just fine.

[@stevepadgett4071]

Thanks for sharing

[@stevepadgett4071]

If you don’t mind what’s your pick for replacing halogen lights with LED’s. Would like your opinion

[@evolvedjeepin]

@@stevepadgett4071 Which lights you looking to replace, headlights, fogs or taillights?

[@stevepadgett4071]

Headlights

[@aristotlefullthrottle9567]

Does the logo bother you on them? Is there a way to remove it?

[@evolvedjeepin]

No you can't remove the logo and you don't really notice the logo at all, so it doesn't bother me at all.

[@denemy12]

Looks dope. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@denemy12]

Still have them on?

[@hookedupcatfishingadventur9884]

All people asked you over and over is where to hook the 12v white wire and no help, just a response of cant remember and watch video, smh. If you gona make a video make it complete of where all wires wire in at.

[@evolvedjeepin]

Yes I honestly can't remember, but the real issue is that each jeep is different, which is why even their instructions don't tell you what color to attach to. The brown wire on my jeep might be blue on yours. I wish I could help in the next couple of days I actually have to take off my front fenders so I will take note of what colors I attached to.

[@ludicrous_danny]

Hey, just some feedback. I could barely hear your voice in the video. Maybe next time raise the sound of your voice after reducing the music sound.

[@evolvedjeepin]

Thank you I'll definitely keep that in mind.
