    Just installed these, they're very nice. You can wire in the turn signals as well, it just requires some splicing.

      Thank you and that's good to know! I assumed someone smarter than me could figure out how to get the turn signals to also work.

      @davidlange2187 Do you like the turn signal feature? Is it worth it?
      What about the Daylight Running Lights? Was this straightforward? Did you power them via the fuse box in the cab? Of from somewhere else?
      I'm getting my lights in a couple of days and am wondering about wiring both of these features up.

    pro tip - leave the plastic film on them when you install them. Keep them on for as long as possible until they look terrible. Helps preserve the original plastic cover on these lights. All of these lights are made in china and cost the same (around 80-100 bucks) and they are a vast improvement over the stock. The only time I would not recommend them is if you drive alot somewhere where it is snowing at night because snow can cake on these and because they are not heated it can block your vision (in that case I would recommend the more expensive ones with the heated coils on them)

    The side by side comparison was awesome and really shows the stark difference. I will probably be upgrading soon and will seriously consider these. I'd be interested to see a long term review when you get some mileage on them because the cheap headlights will get moisture in them or crack and just not last.

    • @SimplyMustGo
      @SimplyMustGo  3 года назад +1

      Yeah. I will say these seem pretty solid and robust. So I would be a little surprised if they fail quickly.

    • @SimplyMustGo
      @SimplyMustGo  3 года назад

      Yeah. I like that the LED tail lights tend to look very stock and don’t change the look or feel of the light much but add a lot of brightness.

  • @rockeyallen5920
    @rockeyallen5920 2 месяца назад

    My yj with sealed beam bulbs is a nice midrange between these 2. BUT I made a 60 Amp relay harness for my headlights taking 14v right off the back of the alternator straight into the headlights. Also doing that I removed almost all the load off of my factory headlight switch that is known to be a piece of shit. But this is a solid option if you're not smart enough to wire up 12 wires

    • @SimplyMustGo
      @SimplyMustGo  2 года назад

      Thanks! Honestly, I don’t know. I took them out with the JP Jeep conversion to make the look screen accurate. I still have them. The stock ones are still terrible compared to the LED ones.

    These are stamped DOT. Appr. & they need to be, so that is good. The tighlights on these YJ's suffer from similar brightness issues, in daylight especially. You changed the front a little to be safer. Why not check out the same for the back. Same year 92' as my commuter.. 2.8 miles round trip each day. I believe that driving every day is what has helped it last so long. They go through batteries..

    Just discovered your site trying to find a way to fix my led install on a 2011 Jk Wrangler. Uses 7” round light. Adapter that came with kit was not compatible on left side. I cut off oem plug and then just spliced the wires directly. Now with headlights on, my radio and all dash lights are off. Turn off headlights, and radio and dash work fine. Can you shed any “ light “ on this? TIA! From upstate SC

      It’s still all one unit. So you would need to get new lights. But that’s the same as the originals you can’t just replace the bulbs you have to replace the whole unit.

    • @SimplyMustGo
      @SimplyMustGo  3 года назад +1

      The wiring on my YJ wasn’t setup for Day time running lights. The Canadian version required daytime running lights and so some YJs will have that option, but not mine. Also because the turn signal is a physically different light on the YJ I didn’t want to mess with re-wiring the everything to make that work, especially since it wasn’t necessary for my Jeep.
