Those are basically traailer lights. The hole is supposed to be tight and hard for the light to pop in. If you give it more play its just gonna pop off on you all the time especially when offroading with vibrations.
Mine are hard to remove when I need them out. No issues there. Thanks for watching
I did my lights this past weekend. They really look great and now I can actually see when I reverse. It's nice how the low heat solder connectors come with the kit instead of just plain butt splice. I highly recommend this as an alternative to separate reverse lights.
That's great! Glad you like them!
I prefer the original design with led lights but yours looks great as well and of course is your decision and your Jeep. Great job and great video. See you next week.
Thanks, I knew it wasn't for everyone. I didn't mine the stock ones. The look I am going for, these are a better fit. We will be trail riding this and these lights will be harder to hit by something on the trail. Ultimately I let my son decide since we are in this together.
Every single item on this Jeep has been tampered with. I just started laughing when you pulled that light off and out came all those wires. I bet they filled the tires with helium too didn't they?
You are right lol! I never cease to be amazed! Maybe one day I can do a repair and say " hey, they haven't been here before", but I am starting to doubt it.
Looks great! I thought you were rubbing your finger on that freshly cut metal when you were actually sanding it, I thought maybe you had invincible fingers!
Hahaha! Yeah, that's funny. I have probably done some dumb stuff like that before lol.
I have these same lights but it would be great if you showed exactly where each wire from the the light housing went and where you mounted the grounds
Or if you could shoot me a picture of which wires will run together that would be very helpful as well
4:43 shows this breakdown you need(Looks like one black will not be connected as I reviewed the video). As far as the ground. Put it anywhere you can get a self tapping screw with clean paint free metal. Then bolt both grounds to that. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@ForceBuilt would it be a bad idea to wire both of the grounds to the existing negative from the previous tail light housing?
@@GametimeSlime As long as it is a ground, it will be fine. They just need grounded and it doesn't matter how you do it. Hope this helps! Thanks
The new taillights look great! Everyone of your videos remind me of all of the work my father and I have done to our Jeep. It’s a lot of work, but in the end it’s worth the time you spend together. Don’t stop making great videos!
Thanks! That means a lot. Proud you enjoy the videos!
What did you do with the two black wires from the light?Did you splice them together then wired it to the jeep wire?Also the 2 red wires from the light splice those two together then to the jeeps wire?
I don't really remember. At 4:43 I explain the wiring. Looks like there is one black wire from the light that I didn't use. Good luck!
What size hole saw did you use?
At 9:00 min I mention the size(4.25") which is a little small. I have to Dremel the hole out bigger to get the brake lights to fit. The correct size would be 4.5". Thanks for watching and hope this helps!!!
Couldn't the hyper flash be fixed with a LED Flasher relay under the steering wheel? Or does that only solve the headlights?
Yes, an led signal relay in the factory location will fix it. Thanks for watching!
You should be safe, with that little screw. That is behind the dash, under the wiring harness. That holds that OOOHh wait they found that one also. Got to be something those people did not fix there way. I know there favorite song. Has to be I did it my way!
I know your right. They have been all over this thing! And yes, they did it their way lol!
Hi! This was a helpful video, you should really link it somehow? If you can, to your amazon review. I've been trying to get ready to install these on my 91 yj and purely by luck noticed yours is the same jeep as in the review.
I'll try and do that! Thanks Chris!
I just linked to my Amazon review. It will take a few days for it to update. I hope they allow video links. I'm not sure they do. Thanks for the recommendation!
Looks fantastic!!
Question? What would you recommend for a license plate light?
Well Dennis, I actually have not realized I need one until your comment lol. Yeah, I don't really know. I will have to do some research on that. I also need a 3rd brake light which will probably go inside my tire carrier I just installed. I like the clean look without the tire but If I have a flat with out it :(
Let me know if you figure anything out. Maybe an LED mounted to the bumper pointing up?
Thanks for watching!
They make led license plate lights that are integrated into the bolts that mount your plate. Kind of slick. That’s what I’m planning on using.
@@ChadsGarage1 That’s a great idea.
Thanks for the tip👍
How do you remove these to replace burnt out ones?
You can get to them from under the bottom and push them out from behind. There is a plastic flap that can be unclipped then you can reach your arm up on either side to push the lights out. I haven't had any trouble with mine btw.
Looks fantastic!!
I plan on doing this mod soon.
Question? What would you recommend for the license plate light?
Thanks,
Thanks Dennis! I actually haven't even thought about a license plate light. Maybe a shielded led mounted on the bumper facing upwards?
I’m going to check Auto Zone and O’Reillys. All I need is a small light to shine down on the plate. Their pretty picky about that here in Commiefornia.
I just ordered a set, how are they holding up??
As good as new! I love them! Good luck
@@ForceBuilt just hope i dont find a wiring mess like you did..
looks good i did mine a few months ago i didnt use resistors i just used the heavy duty flasher that i found on the TJ forums i mounted my tag on the center of my tailgate...are you on facebook?
Yes I am on Facebook. What did you use to mount your tag?
@@ForceBuilt i just used self tappers what is your name on facebook?
All you showed is cutting holes. The most important part is the wiring, and resistor placement, and you didnt even show that process.
That's not right. The wiring is explained at 4:44. You can use resistors but I did not. I purchased a led relay here (amzn.to/3a3jiSS). This eliminates the need for resistors. For me, cutting a permanent hole in the quarter panel dwarfs any wiring issues that can easily be fixed. If you get the hole wrong, you are messed up. Thanks for watching.
@@ForceBuilt So you used a relay instead of resistors, and that wasn't stated or shown in the video. My point is that critical steps of the job weren't shown. If a person needs to go do further research after watching a supposed how to video, then the video is incomplete.
@@esti5506 I didn't know I was going to get an led relay so I didn't mention that. I didn't install the resistors or the relay in the video. So there is nothing to show there. I did explain the wiring very well that I was told I did not. The job was cutting the round tail light holes and everything else was secondary. I made mention to get rid of hyper flash you need something else(resistors) but that wasn't what this video was about. I remove hyper flash in another video btw.
