    Look Out "Guys"... I just sold my 650i convertible "fancy Gurly car" and LOVING my Jeep Wrangler...and thanks to RUclips technology I'm "EMPOWERING" myself to work on fun projects like this one...Yup! I love my Broncos...CUBS...and now my JEEP

    • @CoolToysTV

      Er, we kinda like the 650i at KühlToys, but the Jeep is always a winner here. But it ain't a real Jeep until you pull tree parts out of the frame when doing an oil change.

    I have these and eventually the top 3 headlamp LEDs go out. Replaced one and it did the same thing. Unfortunate because I really like them.

    • @CoolToysTV
      @CoolToysTV 7 лет назад

      Yes, they did fail for us too, but we ended up with the newer version from the manufacturer, you can see then new ones on our updated video on KühlToys,
      kuhltoys.com/halo-headlights-projector-style
      The newer projector style had a much brighter light and were more accurately set for better night driving in the mountains and off road.

    What are the fuses needed to get the daytime running lights connected?

  • @Beachstreetnews
    @Beachstreetnews  5 лет назад

    We just got our JL. It should work the same, but since ours came with factory LED and “Ring lights” we aren’t planning to upgrade the lights just yet. The factory LED are not as good as the second set of lights we put in. Projector style is what the second set was. The lights in this video failed and were about the same as the factory LED lights are now.

    By any chance do you know what grill inserts these are?

    • @Beachstreetnews
      @Beachstreetnews  2 года назад

      those are not inserts, they are the stock 2016 JK Sahara Grill. You can buy the replacement, as you see in the video it comes off quite easily. There are more Jeep Videos on the CoolToys TV Channel. I am sure you can find one of the grills complete from someone that swapped out for aftermarket. I tried to use the rugged ridge chrome grill inserts and the Sahara and Rubicon had different grills. The whole thing is available as a factory part too. $400 OEM though so I'd check with local 4x4 shop and look for someone to swap out.

  • @Beachstreetnews
    @Beachstreetnews  8 лет назад

    One thing we got wrong, and have tested on another JK, if you connect the green wire to the turn signal the halo remains off while the signal is on. It does not "blink" as Scott said in the video. Oops.

  • @chefjjk
    @chefjjk 4 года назад

    Thanks for the video. I am still having trouble with connecting the green wire to the turn signal. I have the amber LED but the halo is only white color.

    • @Beachstreetnews
      @Beachstreetnews  3 года назад

      There were two wires to connect on the version I had. When I spliced the second one to the turn signal the halo turned amber and flashed. I didn't like it because there was a slight timing difference so I disconnected the wire. Thanks for watching!

    • @Beachstreetnews
      @Beachstreetnews  3 года назад

      I ran as low as -20 in Truckee and they still worked fine in light snow. There was some build up though. JW Speaker makes a heated version. The new JLU has LED which are not heated from the factory. Same issue exactly.

      I see that a couple of people found that to be that the DRL were enabled in the software. Our DRL was apparently off. The lights have a small circuit inside of them so when the low beams come on, the halo turns off. The newer version should stay on kuhltoys.com/halo-headlights-projector-style

    How to control low beams while driving in Jeep Wrangler headlights

  • @travispaul8734
    @travispaul8734 7 лет назад

    When you wired the DRLs to the "add-a-fuse" did you take both DRL wires from both headlights and crimp them together in the add a fuse or did you use two add a fuses, one for each light... or am I missing something? Thanks for the help

    • @ScottBourquin
      @ScottBourquin 7 лет назад

      Yes both DRL are daisy chained off of one wire. LED's are very efficient and very low load so 1 amp for both was plenty. Check out the newer headlights at KuhlToys.com

  • @schuylkillcountyjeepallian2956

    wish we showed them driving on the road, all led looks good in a shop or against a garage door

    • @Beachstreetnews
      @Beachstreetnews  7 лет назад

      We didn't have the money or the camera gear to show these on the road until just this week. 4K GoPro and Cannon 5D Mark II just couldn't get the shot, we tried. We now have a 5D Mark IV, C100 and a couple of Reds that can do it, but we have other shows to get to so no promises on getting that done.
      That said, I like them both on and off road. We have three Jeeps on the Kühl Toys team, a Rubicon and two Sahara's. Everyone agrees these headlights are better in all conditions. We are hopeing another brand steps up and sends us thier lights to compare and then you'll get some night shots. #Delta #KCHilights you listening?
      Overall notes:
      LED lights are very different than halogen or HID. The light is much more even so when a car passes you, it might shadow your car giving you the impression their lights are brighter.
      When you turn off your lights even when shadowed by HID, reflectors over a mile a way go dark. Road signs, reflectors and animal eyes show up much farther away. I just took the Jeep to Lake Tahoe for some snow running and just like factory lights, these degraded as the dirt and snow built up. I would like glass lenses or a harder lens as these scratched and we has to polish them back out.
      The high beams at night on a dark road are good for almost two miles but because it is a very even spread. It doesn't "feel' as bright as my old Hella C-4 lights. I would prefer a more European light pattern with the flat top on the left and 45 degree rise on the right for road signs, but haven't seen any pure LED that do that yet. Delta appears to have a set that have an LED Halo and halogen bulb in this pattern.
      Thanks for watching the video, more Kühl Jeep stuff to come.

    • @CoolToysTV
      @CoolToysTV 7 лет назад

      These were better than stock at night, but were a bit difficult to aim properly due to the tight fit. The new projectors are way brighter with a much more even light pattern.

    • @CoolToysTV

    Hey Guys, Can you answer Kayla Mathews' question regarding fitment as I am experiencing the same issue. When you fit the new lights and replaced the chrome ring, did it sit out by about 4mm from where the original was?

    • @Beachstreetnews
      @Beachstreetnews  7 лет назад

      Yes, the headlights are just a bit thicker than standard so they do stick out just a hair farther.

    • @Beachstreetnews
      @Beachstreetnews  7 лет назад

      update, now that the lights have failed and been replaced, the newer projector style Halo's look a bit more typical but have great light output and they did fit better. Still very snug but they fit. Video coming soon to Kühl Toys.

  • @kaylamatthews2093
    @kaylamatthews2093 8 лет назад +4

    I have these headlights, but they won't fit? Did you have any issues with them fitting into the hole properly? It seems like the small plastic pieces on each side of the larger plastic pieces (the ones the match the pattern of the stock lights) are too "thick" and push the headlight off so far that I am not able to screw in the chrome trim ring. Any suggestions?

    • @Beachstreetnews
      @Beachstreetnews  7 лет назад

      Yes these headlights are just a bit larger. It is why I put them in upside down the first time and didn't catch it. After your post we pulled them back out and shaved off just a little bit of the alignment tabs so they fit better. The light itself is still a bit "thicker" in the ring section when you set is side by side with the factory cheapo plastic lights, so they stick out a little farther even after shaving the alignment tabs.

    • @CoolToysTV
      @CoolToysTV 7 лет назад

      They were very tight, and these lights failed so we now have the newer better and brighter projector style lights on the JK in the video. Our other two JK's still have stock headlights, we are hoping someone submits another brand to go head to head at night on the rubicon trail...

    • @Beachstreetnews
      @Beachstreetnews  7 лет назад +2

      Mark Hoffman you can find the link to buy these on our KühlToys.com website below the video, but this model is sold out and one has already failed. We just received the "new and improved" projector halos which also come with a premade wiring harness similar to the one we had to make. We will be installing in the next week and posting a new video on Kühltoys.com soon!

    • @Beachstreetnews

    I wired the red to its own switch, did not connect the green to the turn signals just taped it up. When I turn the headlights on it cuts off the halo. Is there a way to keep the halo on when the headlights are on?? Keith

    • @Beachstreetnews
      @Beachstreetnews  8 лет назад

      No, at least with this one, the control for that is inside the lights. The green turns off the halo when the signal is on. I left it disconnected as well. We have been sent two other brands to test and neither did anything better or different so we are hoping someone sends us a better one to test, #KChiltes and #JWSpeaker are you listening?

    Thanks for this video. I have question. I followed the instruction that came with the ligths to the turn signal circuit, but only the DRL's were on when unlocking doors or when the headlights were on. So I used M14 trailer tow (Export only) to get the power for the DRL's when the car is running. I took the wire and I only connect that to the passenger red connector DRL and both lights were on. Here is my dilemma: do I need to split thr wire from M14 and reach the red connector on driver side? Can I leave the connection as is (only passenger side?. . Please advise

    • @Beachstreetnews
      @Beachstreetnews  7 лет назад

      I am not sure what the M14 is, in the video we found an open fuse section on the US spec 2016 JK that is the same on the 2015 and 2017. That is all we have. There is another video on kuhltoys.com showing the installation of the newer version of these lights. The trick with the old version is the Halo must be on a circuit that is energized with the accessory circuit is on.

      Not quite sure what you are asking. The LED lights only use 3 amps, so we wanted to make sure that we didn't put too big of a fuse in case they failed, which they did. The new better version of these lights can be seen on the episode of Kühl Toys, at www.kuhltoys.com

      Same lights? That sounds like you crossed the wires or have a bad adapter. There are three wires, one for the halo, one for low beams, one for high beams. You may also have a bad set of lights since there is an internal circuit that turns off the Halo's when the low or high beam come on. This is a voltmeter - testing problem.

      If you're on a tight budget I guess that makes sense (but why are you driving a $40k gas guzzler then), but the JW speaker in my opinion would be more than 3 times the quality and usable light output than these other headlights. Then again, I love having quality lights some people might not care as much. I respect everyone's opinion.

    • @ScottBourquin
      @ScottBourquin 7 лет назад

      You say Tight Budget, We say smart spending. Send us a set of JW Speakers to test and I'll put them on another Jeep so we can see them side by side. We are always looking for new KühlToys. We have two Sahara's and a Rubicon at KühlToys, so no shortage of test vehicles. We are always looking for a deal for our fans, that is part of KühlToys. If our fans can buy a great set of headlights for $140 or a great set for $300, we have to go with the $140. For now I can only attest to the headlights we have. They are great, two back roads trips to Tahoe and back and these are better than the HID's on the chase car.

    • @Beachstreetnews
      @Beachstreetnews  6 лет назад

      Street Dogs, thank you for noticing! Part of playing with #KuhlToys is that things change and you never know the real answer until you know the real answer. When we originally shot the video the headlights looked good. When we figured out they were installed upside down by our host, and turned them over, they looked even better.
      You are right, the headlights were a fail but there was no way to know it on the day we shot the video and installed them. At that time they were the best priced halo headlights out there and way better than the factory lights. We said so in a later episode and SuiTech made it right by sending us the new better lights.
      It just doesn't make sense to reshoot a video every time your host installs lights upside down or finds out they don't work as the manufacturer website said they did, thats why we make new videos with the long term results too. Thank you again for watching and we hope you'll check out more of our videos on KuhlToys.com
