Great channel, you guys are the ultimate professionals. No BS, just good Jeep stuff with great advise and products. So tired of all the clickbait and over the top channels. Lost my life partner and navigator this summer, I’m sure she’s looking down from above and smiling while I research and upgrade our 21 JL 2 door this winter. Thanks for being real and all the help!
One thing i wish you commented on is the headlight aiming after install...its terribly difficult with how little room there is behind the DD Elite headlights. You basically have to repeatedly install and remove each light between adjustments because of the poor adjustment screw location on the back of the headlight. I feel like all the youtubers that get their lights gifted to them always skim past this detail... I'd personally like to hear your honest opinion on it.
I went with these headlights based on your original install video (which was extremely helpful btw, thanks!) and I couldn't be happier with them. Only complaint is that my halogen fender lights look out of place now. Selfishly, one thing I'd love to see on a future video is an install of the new AAL/Diode Dynamics fender chop bracket that's coming out, and maybe a corresponding video showing what it takes to get the factory LED fender lights swapped over to the 2-door.
I’m happy with my current 2021 Willys LED headlights. But the taillights… I may need those!! So I’m a bit confused, you mentioned on the taillights, the extra plug for blind spot and then being able to add to Ryan’s Jeep via Tazer…? You can do that?? My jeep currently does NOT have blind spot and it’s one thing I wished did… so you’re saying I can add that with those lights and Tazer???
I clicked on your amazon link to the rear lights and it seems the rear can have sequential amber/yellow blinkers. Didn't you guys considered doing it? I would love to see how to fish the turn signal from the front to the rear. Thanks!
WOW!! Those headlights (like yours) are incredible… every video I watch if stuff you recommend my build list keeps getting longer and more expensive… lol Those do look really good!! Loving this build series, keep up the incredible work!! 👍
Has anyone compared side by side the Diode Dynamics elite max to the Alpharex Nova? I like both styles. But I’m hung up because I haven’t seen them in person.
I was looking forward to see the difference on a dark dark road, between a stock halogen and the new DD LED’s you installed. I have a 2024 Gladiator with halogen headlights, but LED taillights with the radar sensors
I've seen a lot of complaints about the Form Lighting tail lights just randomly stopping working after a few months. The brake lights will work, but nothing else, especially in temps lower than 50 degrees.
Vehicle is shaping up nicely. I’m sure there are some rock rails on your list. One of the first thing I put on mine. Looks much better and provides some off road protection. Nice video thanks.
Yeah at this point I regret paying for the OEM LED light package..... because I've since replaced them all. My only savings grace is the resale on the OEM stuff
I love the factory LED package on my JLUR. the Front head lights and turn signals are perfect brightness. but the Tail lights not so much, so I went with the Oracle flush mount tail lights, excellent brightness and slim look. the Minus part on getting the factory LED package is that the Computer is programed for the Factory LED Only and when you switch to an after market LED you will get Error Codes. the Plus part of Not getting the factory LED package is that the computer isn't programmed for LED and you will Not get the Error Codes when using LED.
@@reneemeans3507 I have the factory LED package, so from the factory my onboard computer was programed to monitor the LED circuitry. When I changed the Rear Tail Lights to Flush Mount Oracle LED, the computer doesn't read the same LED circuitry, so when I start the engine and only when I start the engine, the dashboard does its cycle and says Rear Tail Lights not working, then goes back to showing my normal preset tire pressure screen. Halogen Lights are Incandescent with Halogen Gas, so there is No Electronic Circuitry to monitor, just a simple On and Off. But the aftermarket LED you get will come with a Resistor for You to add so you do not get the Flicker Rate on turn signal because of the electrical voltage change between Halogen and LED. They will say that in the instructions.
Thanks for this video. I have been looking for taillights and this brand looks awesome. I will be purchasing them soon. I am new to the Jeep family. Just purchased a 2024 Willys. Your videos are very good and helpful. Thanks
wow. looks very nice. question, if we didn't want to use the headlights as an additional blinker, then we don't have to connect it, right? and still retain the lighted halo ring?
Brand new 2024 Jeep Wrangler owner...loving it. Question. I am trying to customize my LED Factory Lights to a smoked out option. Everything on the markets states they won't fit a 2024 Jeep with current LED package. Is there anything out there that will work for me? Have an Anvil color jeep and want to get rid of the red color. Thanks!
I appreciate these videos so much! On the subject of lights, I have a JL with the halogen headlight package, do you have any suggestions for swapping the fender lights out for LED ones? Suppliers?
@DIRTROADCRED Forgotten the model years, my first Cherokee had rear red turn signals. Then red/yellow LED rear turn signals were added to a refresh. Practically ran to the dealership to get my hands on that new refresh with rear LED yellow turn signals. Yes, bought that new Cherokee to get its yellow LED rear turn signals, really.
Those taillights look EXACTLY like a set of "Quake"'s that I got a few years ago. Cracked one on the trail... factory replacement was hopelessly backordered. That said, the Diode's look like the have a better connector and wiring... but the housing, infinity mirror, and startup sequence are 100% the same as the Quakes.
@@DIRTROADCRED when wheeling technical trails what is your strong point a part from your spotter. Is it the lift with big tyres, the flexibility of the jeep, lockers etc..?
Those look nice. I recently replaced the halogen candles on my grill with KC Gravity Pro. Based on your videos, Im looking to get some 3" Diode Dynamics fog lights if they will fit my Poison Spyder bumper. Im also gonna upgrade all the side marker lights and rear turn signal bulbs with the Diode Dynamics LED bulbs.
Great videos! Followed you for quite some time when you were with CJ.. Your videos were always very helpful. Do the Form tail lights need any form of resistors? My Willys has LED headlights/fogs but halogen tails. I always liked diode dynamics products.
I myself have a 2024 (4xE). I just checked under my hood, and on the driver's side i cannot see the harness for the fender lights, like installation videos show. Is there much of a difference for installation from a 23 model?
Got a 2024 Willys on order, and those taillights look like winners. Been trying to find a comparable one to the JW Speaker brightness I have in the JK. Thanks DRC!
Those tail lights are sick. I'd like to see them make some for the Gladiator. I had the Oracle ones for a year and they corroded to sh!t and stopped working. Not willing to pay for crap products from them again.
I know for a fact that LEDs split the light in mist, fog and rain. And possibly the same thing will happen when there is sleet and snow. Powerful Halogens are far more functional. And yellow halogen fog lamps as an additional accessory.
My JL is a 2018 and it came with the led light package the right rear turn signal just failed so I called the dealer and almost had heart failure at 805 dollars for one tail light I just wanted to let future jeep buyers to know this

Revisit those tail lights in a year to see if they still work. Ive seen so many oracle ones with leds out its deterred me from upgrading
Will do!
I got the Form Lighting version which is the same exact model, probably made in the same factory, and been going strong for a year and a half...
These videos are what inspired me to buy my first jl 2 door. Keep up the good content!
Appreciate that! We hope you get into one.
Matt can’t be responsible for any future financial hardship now that you’re a Jeep owner… lol
@brianjones3636 addicted to mod purchasing now, its a problem lol

I believe with the module and a few other things it can be added!

Hi, do you have a video on how to install the trunk gladiator back step?
Thanks for this video. I have been looking for taillights and this brand looks awesome. I will be purchasing them soon. I am new to the Jeep family. Just purchased a 2024 Willys. Your videos are very good and helpful. Thanks
Awesome! Thanks for watching. Enjoy your new Willys
The reviews on Amazon for these are terrible. Can anyone confirm that they are good or bad long term?
What’s the led brand again?
wow. looks very nice. question, if we didn't want to use the headlights as an additional blinker, then we don't have to connect it, right? and still retain the lighted halo ring?
How can you tell if it’s Blindspot warning?how do you addblind spot the rear of your Jeep 2018
Aloha Matt and Ryan. These new headlights and tail lights look good.
Appreciate the love brother! 🤙
Time for the fender chop. I want to do it on my 23JLU HT but personally I'm afraid.
Really nice upgrades! I ordered LED from the factory but these looks nice and it made some good content! Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate the view!

Great video! Ryan's jeep really needs a killer set of wheels and tires. I'm sure that's coming though! 👍🏻
All coming!
Any LED headlight recommendations for my JK?
I tried chsnging the fog loghts to led and it doesnt even fit in the slot :p
Have you heard of any issues with the DV8 OEM Halo headlights being faulty or having one burn brighter than the other?
Those smoked out tail lights look sick. They really upgrade the whole look of the back, Ry.
They are solid! Glad the red is gone
State police in IL told me anything smoked is illegal:/
I changed out the 3rd brake light to LED's as well.
Good call!
I appreciate these videos so much! On the subject of lights, I have a JL with the halogen headlight package, do you have any suggestions for swapping the fender lights out for LED ones? Suppliers?
Happy with just the led bulbs
Nice mention of “Doug.” You all should invite him on the show.
That would be great!
One change I'd consider, yellow LED rear turn signals. Was a bit disappointed to see the new rear turn signal lights were red.
Understood! Don't mind the red at night

Matt, not sure if you are having some neck pain or stiffness, but if so, I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks for reaching out, actually had a little surgery on my neck a few weeks back, still healing up!
Did the rear set need resistors to properly work?
Nope

Probably bought them out and rebranded
Interesting, not sure of the behind the scenes details
Fantastic upgrade ❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful Jeep
Thank you!

Yup, wheeling this one soon too

Yes they do!

Thanks! More to come
Will the smoke tail lights pass Pennsylvania inspection?

Plan on doing taillights in the future
I myself have a 2024 (4xE). I just checked under my hood, and on the driver's side i cannot see the harness for the fender lights, like installation videos show. Is there much of a difference for installation from a 23 model?
Did you ever figure this out? I tried installing these today and the harnesses were impossible to reach.
Got a 2024 Willys on order, and those taillights look like winners. Been trying to find a comparable one to the JW Speaker brightness I have in the JK.
Thanks DRC!
Awesome! They would look great on your willys
Just got my 2024 Willy’s. Love it! I’m trying my BEST not to just throw upgrades in but I’m glad I found this.
I don’t know why Jeep just doesn’t add LED lights to all of it’s Jeep.
$$$$
With you!
The tail lights are so sweet. Too bad they don't make them for the gladiator
Hopefully soon!
Those tail lights are sick. I'd like to see them make some for the Gladiator. I had the Oracle ones for a year and they corroded to sh!t and stopped working. Not willing to pay for crap products from them again.

The headlights look like they are flickering ?
Had to get a fix for them since the base sport couldn’t handle the LED functionality at first

Would love that
I know for a fact that LEDs split the light in mist, fog and rain. And possibly the same thing will happen when there is sleet and snow. Powerful Halogens are far more functional. And yellow halogen fog lamps as an additional accessory.

Not ideal. Thanks for sharing!
Not alot of love for the gladiator with tail lights
Thinking about one for 2025 stay tuned
Put it on portals😊
ok!
I have these taillights.
How you liking them?

Lol this is my channel too!
-Ryan
Not sure we will have enough time to go wheeling before the lift.. which is coming up pretty quickly 👀
those LED tail lights look comical with the start up sequence. All that's missing is fireworks,
I think y’all got more in after market parts then u do in the cost of the jeep
Whoops
I ordered all the upgrades and still rip them off 🤣🤣
😂 with you on that
I think the factory Mopar ones are way better looking then these 😊
Ohhhh boy.That 2 door is getting sexy by each episode.3 more days till Overland Expo....
Lots more to come!
Gonna have to disagree with you for a first time. The factory LED’s are by far better looking than any aftermarket lights….
Respect your opinion!
The black ones are however superior, I just don’t wanna pay $400
You are right
Wow what a Screw Job!😮
