Just installed mine last weekend and I love them. The trickiest part was getting to the plugs, once that was done the rest was easy. I have a switchpro with an open location so I connected the offroad lead to that and it works like a charm. The adjustment from the factory was pretty spot on and only minor tweaks were needed. I would check the alignment before you put the grill back together. Getting rear access to the lamps is really tight.
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
If I do just the elites and not the elite max do I need to tap into the fuse box?
Bout’ to order mine, but was wondering what parking/drl lights you are running or recommend to complement the elite max series? Thanks.
Hey there! We do offer our in-house assembled sidemarkers in either amber, white, or smoked!

do you still have to wire the switch even if you don't need the off road led?
Hey there! Great question! If you do not want the offroad feature, you will not have to wire them up for normal operation of the lamp itself!
Mine just arrived!!! I’m installing them now. I hope it also only takes me 8 minutes….
Yup, struggled to get the grill off. Doesn’t help there’s a winch I’m the way. Final
Y just put on some gloves to protect my hands and pulled as hard as I could! Bingo!
Took me 5 hours to install. 3 hours was trying to remove fenders and disconnect the cable, wasn’t happening.
Glad you were able to get that installed!!
If I’m replacing my Halogens on my Mojave, will that require flashing?
Hey there! Feel free to give us a call at 314-205-3033 Monday-Friday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. CST, or shoot us an email at contact@diodedynamics.com, and our service team would be happy to help you with that.
Do you have to run a switch on these if you don't want to?
This is only for the off-road Trail Lights on our Max model. The Elite Series does not have this wire, so it's totally up to you!
Took me about 2 hours to get them installed. Worst parts were not being able to get grill off completely due to bumper and winch, so I had to leave it partially on and use a short socket for the 3 10mm bolts and passenger side harness. My 22 doesn't have a fuse box on the drivers side, so I was about 30 minutes to get the old lights out and the drivers in and wired. Took about an hour to do just the passenger side due to having to partially remove the fender liner to reach the connection.
I need to take them back out tomorrow to aim them as they are shooting quite low and it was getting late in the day.
Also when I turn the trail lights on and then off via the factory aux switch the entire headlight assembly turns off until I flick the lights from auto to manual and back. Don't know if this is an issue with anyone else's?
Also like someone else said, save yourself some time and align them before you bolt them all together. Ensure they are flush with the bracket when testing height. Wish there was an easy way to adjust them without pulling the lamps out everytime. Have them adjusted but they are still not perfect. Also my adjustment screw was super tight, and had to use a Cresent wrench on the adjustment tool to get them to rise
Thank you for letting us know! We'll pass that along to our team to come up with an easier install and adjustment process in the future!
@Diode Dynamics had an issue with the LED low beam dropping out. Within 60 seconds on the phone with you guys problem was solved. Worth noting a program like the tazer comes in handy if you are coming from halogen lights
