Great LED option for Jeep JKs
I’ve owned a 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited since 2009. Because the stock lights are so mediocre, I purchased an H4 bulb upgrade kit within a year of owning the vehicle. The H4 lights provide only marginally better light, and I seem to have to replace the bulbs every 9 months or so. I finally got frustrated with constantly replacing the expensive bulbs, and I looked for an LED solution.
I was getting ready to purchase a headlight/fog light kit through a popular Jeep part vendor and decided to check out Amazon. I was hesitant to purchase these replacement lights from a vendor I was unfamiliar with, but I decided to pull the trigger because:
-the price is substantially lower than competing products
-the design is quite attractive with matching headlights and fog lights
-the anti-flicker module is built in to the headlights
-the reviews were quite positive
-the company seemed very responsive to issues on Amazon
-the lights are DOT certified
I installed the lights about 5 days ago. The light kit was boxed securely in a no-frills, molded foam cushion with peel-off plastic protecting the lenses. The fog lights included an adapter harness with bare wires (I didn’t need it), and the headlights came with two sets of adapters (I also didn’t need them since I’d previously upgraded to the H4 bulb connector).
I started by replacing the stock fog lights in my aftermarket bumper. The new fog lights have the same mounting points as the factory units, and they are the same outer diameter. They are thinner, and the light aiming adjustment mechanism seemed more robust than the stock units. The install went smoothly, and the factory electrical connectors fit securely.
I installed the headlights next. The new headlights feel substantial with a powder-coated cast aluminum heatsink on the back. They use an H4 style connector, so you may need one of the included adapters. In order to install the headlights, you must first remove the Jeep’s grille. Next, four Torx screws must be removed from each headlight so the unit can be unmounted. There is a ring bracket around the headlight which mounts it to vehicle; this ring must be saved for new headlight installs. With my stock headlights as well as the name-brand aftermarket headlights, the lamps did not fit securely; they relied on the bracket to squeeze them into place. These LED headlights fit perfectly into the sockets, and installing and testing them took less than 10 minutes.
The light color is a cool white but not blue; I would guess a color temperature of 4500 to 5000k. They are just a little cooler than the Silverstar lamps I had previously. The light is exceptionally intense, and I have not noticed any PWM flicker yet. I haven’t had the chance to test these at night yet, but I imagine they’ll be much better than my previous set. In a future update, I will try to post info about their light pattern and how well they've held up.
Overall, the price, apparent build quality, company responsiveness, DOT certification, OEM style install, built-in flicker modules, good looks, and light intensity make these a great buy.
