Thank JR!!!
When I was shopping around for a Renegade I thought those grills in the back were speakers lol. Nice video and I like the accessibility of the rear lights, but some tunes back there would also be cool. I have a 2.4 litre, but so far all your videos still have helped out a lot.
JeepRenegadeGuy I don't have that subwoofer option unfortunately, but am considering adding some kind of audio in the back. I don't want a big ol box though that would take up too much space. If I come up with some idea that works I will let you know. I love to tailgate, so I'm motivated here.
I over thought this. All I need is one of those tailgate party boxes with Bluetooth. I can bring it only when needed. Problem solved! Thinking about upgrading the stereo though to the higher end one with nav. Wouldn't cost too much if I could install it myself. Shouldn't be that hard, right?
I keep meaning to mock up a cardboard box with the dimensions of the "Kicker Hideaway" sub to see if it can fit in one of the back panel areas. If it can I would make a mount or something to hold it in place.
I got these exact led's but i keep getting a warning on my dash saying i have a backup light out, but these do light up? how do i get rid of the warning/ Did you get the same warning on your dash?
It's amazing how much more light they put out. My lux meter saw a decent improvement, but it doesn't capture just how much more light is scattered. Great Upgrade for sure!
Correct! And now to mention the quality of the light. Not that yellow tinge. I would like to upgrade to all leds but so far just the reverse and headlights. :)
Wow, you've convinced me to upgrade my bulbs. Looking forward to you finding good bulbs that you can recommend for the front. Love your videos. Keep sharing, thanks.
@@JrsGasolineAlley Have you found a great set of DRL for the front? In Canada the Day Running Lights have been law for a couple decades but the factory ones suck! Want a good choice not afraid to pay for Cree or Osram.
Hey, love your vids, btw. But hey, I bought the same exact LED bulbs that you have linked in your 'info' section to this video and after installing them both, the left side stays on but quite dim. I left it alone for a while and it continued to stay on. Frustrated, I removed both LEDs and put the OEMs back on. I've been googling a solution to this but I'm coming up short. Have you any idea of what's going on or any suggestions on what should I do? I have a 2017 Renegade Trailhawk.
I've tried pulling it out, turning it and putting it back in. Still the same problem. I actually just received new bulbs from their customer service team, which I just put in, and they're still doing the same thing... I'm all out of options..
Its called "residual charge". When the back-up lights are off the wiring connect to them is coupling to other wiring that is carrying 12V. This happens because LEDs are very high resistance. My reverse LEDs were doing the same thing. I connected a 20K resistor across each reverse light socket and now no after glow when off.
My reverse lights don't come on... Only the little one at the bottom right hand corner. Is there a way to turn them on? Adjust them? I know bulbs work as they blink with the other lights when I lock and unlock the car...
Great video. I bought the same bulbs you linked in the description for my 15 Jeep Renegade TH, but I still receive an error code and they remain on and "glowing" at all times. Had to remove them. Any suggestions?
Licensee plate led bulbs ? Any ideas? I replaced my front side markers with Phillips 194 LED big big difference! About 10 bucks on amazon. I’m getting these reverse lights! Thx !!!
No issues with them, or codes. These ones have the resistor built in so nothing else needed. They do have a few min of afterburn after you turn the car off, but that is barely noticeable.
I love the LEDs bud thank you! Just installed the headlights and reverse lights today. The reverse lights I see stay on for a few mins after the truck is off. Did yours do that too?
Glad you like em, I say it make s a big difference. The Reverse lights will have a dim afterburn, it is because they use such little power compared to the stock bulbs that it takes a bit to draw down.
@@JrsGasolineAlley I should & will order from your link, I ordered 4 from someone on eBay & 3 back up lights would stay dimly. Lit!... I put the original backup lights in the map light socket, it's a lot brighter!
@@mikeandre9903 thanks for the reply but when I say I turned them 180 degrees, I mean I tried both right side up and upside down. Maybe I just happened to get a bum set.
I just got done installing sylvania zevo LEDs for my reverse lights. They dont stay on at all....probably because they dont come on at all. Took them out and flipped them to. Still nothing. Regular ones it is. I'm so mad.
I didn't think to include that in this video. They do have some afterglow. Not too bright and actually makes it look pretty neat with the shape of the reverse light reflector.
Have you noticed the reverse lights staying on when the cars off? I ordered Flash Wolves Reverse lights on Amazon and they actually stay on way after the cars been turned off and are really bright too while turned off. I sent them back for a refund. If your looking for a nice daytime run light try Beamtech 1157 leds. They are fantastic although they do stay on slightly for 5 mins or so but it's not enough to bother you.
JeepRenegadeGuy I think I did. One of them worked, then didn't want to work anymore when I moved it to the other side.. Kept telling me reverse bulb out. I bought the exact same ones using the link.
Weird. Reach out to the seller, I bet you have a defective set and they will replace them. Mine have been good so far and the Amazon reviews seem to be mostly positive.

awesome video!! any chance you have the interior led install? cant seem to thake the dome light off 😅

On some of the higher end Renegades, the passenger side grill covers the factory subwoofer.

JeepRenegadeGuy Definitely show that on video if you do it. We all out here in "Renegade Land" would really appreciate it! :)
I like some of the little things you do to your jeep. Nice job
Thanks, I appreciate it.
I got these exact led's but i keep getting a warning on my dash saying i have a backup light out, but these do light up? how do i get rid of the warning/ Did you get the same warning on your dash?
LED bulbs run at a lower voltage than normal bulbs. You need to add a resistor to the socket. It's pretty easy
I put led reverse lights into my renegade too. Big difference. Good video happy jeeping:)
It's amazing how much more light they put out. My lux meter saw a decent improvement, but it doesn't capture just how much more light is scattered. Great Upgrade for sure!

Wow, you've convinced me to upgrade my bulbs. Looking forward to you finding good bulbs that you can recommend for the front. Love your videos. Keep sharing, thanks.
Thanks, and you will love the bulbs. Ordered another pair of parking lights for the front, so we will see how they work out.

Not sure what is going on. Both of mine has some afterglow. Have you tried putting them back in but reversing polarities?
I've tried pulling it out, turning it and putting it back in. Still the same problem. I actually just received new bulbs from their customer service team, which I just put in, and they're still doing the same thing... I'm all out of options..
I have the same problem as Nerd, switched back to original used original b/u bulbs for map lights tho.
You have to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow, lad.

Strange, have you reached out to the company to get them replaced?
JeepRenegadeGuy yeah, they want me to try adding a resistor, which is what I was trying to avoid in the first place
I put those exact same bulbs and mine have a low glow on them when they're suppose to be off. Do you have that same problem?
They do glow for a little bit.
I have the same problem. So It's normal the LED remain glowing after shut them off?
@@JrsGasolineAlley does it kill your battery?
Mind if I request a rear seat removal video
I did this and now my drivers side tail light will not work the whole tail light assembly will not light up
Licensee plate led bulbs ? Any ideas? I replaced my front side markers with Phillips 194 LED big big difference! About 10 bucks on amazon. I’m getting these reverse lights! Thx !!!
I think I am going to order these license plate bulbs: amzn.to/2E1QCVx They seem well reviewed and reasonable in price.
Do they throw an error? I got some and they throw an error.
Excellent video
Thanks alot!
Have you had any issues since intsalling them? Error codes? Did need to install an anti flicker kit? Also have you got pulled over or in trouble ?
No issues with them, or codes. These ones have the resistor built in so nothing else needed. They do have a few min of afterburn after you turn the car off, but that is barely noticeable.

I just installed mine yesterday and I noticed they did the same thing. They were completely off after a few mins tho.
Good video. I will have to do this. Are you going to do the brake lights too?
I am not currently planning on it as I don't see much of a need. Have you done them?
I have not. Thought about though after watching you remove the tail light in the video.
TY for the post, have you changed the map lights? If so do you also have a link?
I didnt get a chance to replace my map lights.
@@JrsGasolineAlley I should & will order from your link, I ordered 4 from someone on eBay & 3 back up lights would stay dimly. Lit!... I put the original backup lights in the map light socket, it's a lot brighter!
Did you changed the DRL also? I did and sent them back bc they stayed on all the time.
I have tried a few sets, nothing I like yet as so far they have been finicky.
I did mine. They seem to be working fine so far. Been about a month.
Link to see them please.

Where cam we gets these bulbsat?
Link in the description
Are they error free
I bought the bulbs in the link but can't get them to work. I tried turning them both 180° but still nothing. Any ideas?
Just a thought you might have installed them upside down
@@mikeandre9903 thanks for the reply but when I say I turned them 180 degrees, I mean I tried both right side up and upside down. Maybe I just happened to get a bum set.
I just got done installing sylvania zevo LEDs for my reverse lights. They dont stay on at all....probably because they dont come on at all. Took them out and flipped them to. Still nothing. Regular ones it is. I'm so mad.
That's annoying. Give this brand a try?
Did the lights sit flush with the body or was there a gap
Flush.
Hey man...have you found any bulbs that are error free to replace the tail lights with?
I haven't tried, LEDs have a habit of a slight afterburn, and I worry that in a Brake Light, the lights might stay on longer than I intend.
Thanks
Did yours stay on when you turned the car off
only for a few moments
You didn't show it in your video but do you have an Afterglow
I didn't think to include that in this video. They do have some afterglow. Not too bright and actually makes it look pretty neat with the shape of the reverse light reflector.
Do these bulbs throw any canbus light out error messages?
Nope, work seamlessly.
man i bought the exact one and yeah i keep getting a back uo light out error on my dash? you didn't get that??@@JrsGasolineAlley
i just installed these exact ones and i keep getting a back up list error on my dash.
i would have dawned gloves !
👍👍😎

Yes, these have a little afterglow. Nothing more than a few min and only noticeable if it is very dark out.
My 2017 does not like them and will not recognize them.
jaab1 these bulbs? I wonder if you pushed them in all the way. I know i had to put more pressure on them than I had expected.
JeepRenegadeGuy I think I did. One of them worked, then didn't want to work anymore when I moved it to the other side.. Kept telling me reverse bulb out. I bought the exact same ones using the link.

I'll ask for an exchange and see what happens. I liked how bright the one that worked for a bit was.
If you are interested this is the light bar I did. ua-cam.com/video/DFy7RU-B3DE/v-deo.html
Looks awesome!
