Just installed the same setup on my '14 Sahara. Looks great on the white jeep. two items that I wanted to share with you and the group 1. You don't need to remove the bottom pan to put the fog lights in. I went through the exercise of pulling it down but ended up using my cell phone in selfie mode to see the screws for the fog lights from the top. Sitting on a cooler is a hell of a lot easier for this old guy to work than laying on my back. 2. The connections provided for the fog lights tend to just pull apart even with applying pressure to connect them. I ended up putting a wire tie across both pieces through the output wires and pulled snug. Ain't moving now. Great video and I learned a lot about the install due to the one page directions provided sucked. Oh, I did seal both sets with a silicone sealant before installing, good call,.
Hi, I bought the headlights last week and your video, very detailed, allowed me to install them without problem. The look is great. Great job. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this video. I installed the headlights today and everything is fine. I will install the fog lights one day next week. The video was extremely helpful and much better than some of the others I have seen. Thanks again!
TyBonez I did install everything as per video and my halos work when we turn ignition on but as soon put in drive low beam turn on as my running lights ...but I want only halos turn on while driving... please advise
Installed these in 1/2/2020. I did seal them like he said. But no problems so far. I daily drive my Jeep. So they been through Hurricanes and the great Texas Blizzard. They still work just fine. Good investment.
Used your link and purchased these lights. I installed them today along with a Smittybilt XRC Gen2 Front Bumper. The bumper was actually pretty quick, the lights took me a little longer. Total time for all was about 3 1/2 hours, not too bad. Thanks for the video, I'm very happy about the new look! Next is either xrc armor fenders or bumper, either way they are all coming eventually...
Glad I can help! I was just looking into bumpers. Just keep dumping more and more money into it...Just a little tip, I did have one headlight leak from washing with pressure washer (didn;'t leak during a rain). They sent me two replacements even though I only needed one. I ended up drying that one out and sealing both with clear silicone where the lense meets the housing. Haven't had an issue since ( and now I have a backup set). Fog lights I haven't touched, only had a little condensation when first used. Might be worth the 30 mins to do the same
I like your idea with running the halos to a fuse. I got my lights in and there was no paperwork, I was like there has to be video because I'm sure I'm not the only one going wtf.🤷♂️
Did the headlight install with halos to fuse box, but have an issue. Works properly in park (DRL just halo, low beam, high beam) but when I put Jeep in reverse or drive all lights turn on (halo low & high same time). Any tips?
Do you by chance have a non US Jeep? I believe Canada and elsewhere the Jeep is programmed from factory to have daytime running lights. Meaning the headlights are on no matter what when in drive gears. Or your jeep was programmed to do this. If your headlights came on in drive with the stock headlights too, this would make sense. Since these headlights pretty much act as DRL. You can go to a dealer and have them turn off this function for a few or use a programmer like OBDJscan. I used OBDJscan (phone app) and a Bluetooth OBD reader from Amazon to program my Jeep for tire size, backup camera, hard top functions, and more. Total was like $35 for the reader and for 1 vin licenses to use OBDJscan. Now if you don’t have daytime running lights from factory..... then I am not entirely sure what’s going on, but sounds like yours is programmed like this from factory.
Robert Tuley the link for these headlights/fog lights is in the video description. I had one of them leak a little water, but the company sent me a replacement immediately. I ended up sealing where the clear part of the headlight meets the metal body with silicone for added insurance that it won’t leak. I used them for about a year and a half with zero issues before switching to a different style headlight. I was just thinking about switching back to these as my new one’s light pattern isn’t as good as these. Let me know if you have any more questions!
I wired my new lights up as you showed (thanks very much by the way) and it was all working great. Tonight, however, for some reason the 10 Amp fuse in the Fuse Tap blew twice, so I lost my DRL's. At the same time, the halos on the headlights started flickering, but only when the car was running, not when it was off. Those things may not be connected in any way, but wondered if you had seen this? I have a feeling I may have a bad wire connection that is tripping the fuse, but just thought I would ask. Thanks again...great video. Extremely helpful as my son and I got to spend an afternoon working on the Jeep!. Good times.
If they were working fine for a while and just started to blow the fuses, I'd say you have a bad connection somewhere. To me it sounds like its grounding out on the body of the Jeep somewhere. Did you tape up the spade connections? I would trace all the wires to make sure there's not a cut or the protective casing is rubbed off the wire on the body of the Jeep. I would also check the halo wire coming from the headlight, as it is pretty thin. If you still cant find the issue, I would turn the halos on and put in a small fuse (I think I have 7.5 Amp in mine and just never changed it, but 5 Amp should be more than enough) and wiggle the wires for the halos to see if you can trace the source of the issue. Being that you said they only flickered while running gives me the thought that the halo power wire is only grounding out from the vibration. I've also heard of rodents chewing the protective casing off the wires for whatever reason. The halo circuit is grounded through the ground pin on the headlight harness. I have had pins push through the harness before and cause an intermittent connection, but this would not explain the blown fuses. If you still cannot trace the problem it COULD be the headlights themselves. The seller should be able to send you some replacements. Glad I could help! Let me know what the issue was if you find it!
@@tybonez3646 Thanks for the help. You were right..one of the spade connections was not taped up all the way and must have been hitting something. I did that and no blown fuses this week and the flicker appears to be gone. I was wondering if you knew if I might be able to add another DRL to this fuse and it would still work? Right now I have a Quadratec set of 3 orange lights in the grill (www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/pre-runner-led-light-bar-kit-jeep-wrangler-jk) that I have hooked to the side markers so they come on with parking lights or full lights, but was thinking it may look nice to splice those in too? I also have some turn signals that are LED that have running lights vertically, but not sure how much all this may add. Doesnt seem like a lot, but was just curious? Thanks again for all the info...this was great.
@@bradaldis9037 technically you SHOULD be fine as the required amps for LED lights are very low. as long as you run a fuse that is less amps than the rated max amps for the wiring used, you could try running it all on one circuit. However not knowing the amp draw of everything that would be on that circuit, it’s hard to give you a definite answer. Could always use another add-a-circuit tap
Did you end up installing a switch for the daytime halos. That would just involve running a single wire from you (3) wire spice, thru the switch, then to the fuse box .. ? Thanks
Brian Skalman I ended up never installing the switch to turn off the daytime halos. I never actually found a reason why I would ever turn the halos off and didn’t have a place for the switch. However, If I were to do so, I’d do exactly what you said. Those halos should be such low amperage that a relay is not necessary. Just keep a small fuse in the add-a-circuit (~5A, probably even less).
Hi, with the yellow DRL wire, do you know how would you install it so that the DRL Halos go off when put headlights on? As I take it your DRL halos stay on even when headlights on? Thanks and great video!
It wouldn’t be simple to have it so your halos are off when headlights are on. You would have to create a controller and piggy back it in with the actual headlight harness to tell it when power is sent to hi/lo beams to basically turn off power to halos. Or wire a physical switch between the halo wire and the fuse box or wherever you are supplying power to the halo then put the switch inside where you could toggle it manually to turn them off.... BUT I believe the halos are powered on when headlights are on regardless of the little halo wire is actually connected to power or not.. I could be wrong, I forget. I have a different set of headlights installed for now and have these ones packed in a box somewhere for moving or I would test that theory for you
I have the same lights and am about to install. I plugged everything in and did a temp connection for the signals and halos and all good. I also test for the headlights in the mounts and the drivers side installs tight but OK. The passenger won't fit. I saw the still pic in the bid showing where you shaved the bucket. Did you take the bucket out? Was that one square mount area the only thing that gets on the way? It almost feels like the rear fins on the headlight are in the way? Help please! Also is the spot you shaved on the top left when the bucket is installed? Thanks
I left the bucket in when I shaved it. It was fairly close to fitting, so I am pretty sure I just shaved it down with a very sharp knife. I have also seen people shave down the actual headlight part instead. I've put my old headlights back in after I shaved the headlight bucket and they still fit fine. I believe that one square mount was the only thing that was in the way for me. Yes, The spot I shaved was the top left when installed. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions/concerns!
Can you tell me how to wire these headlights to where the headlights come on with the auto lights feature? I have a wrangler unlimited. Did hook up the halos like you recommended and like it, but want the headlights to stay off during the day and come on at night by the auto lights function
Do you already have the auto headlights function? It SHOULD just be plug and play then. I could be wrong. If not, I am not familiar with what is needed to achieve this as I haven’t dealt with it and no longer have my wrangler.
My turn signals don't work (halos). Used splicers like in the video, but no luck. Maybe didn't install right, or crimp hard enough? I'll try again, or splice them the old fashioned way.
It is possible you used too big of a splicer causing it to not actually cut the wire jacket and not let it touch the metal wire inside. Make sure your headlights are plugged in and the turn signal bulbs are also plugged in when you test. The ground for the halos is run through the headlight harness. Also make sure you tapped in to the correct wire (red and white wire I believe and its the opposite end of the black wire). The middle white wire is the parking lights. You can also take the turn signal wire from the headlight and touch it to +12v to confirm that the amber part works for the halo. Good Luck!
Even though I love the accessory connection I may try connecting straight to the turn signal harness so the halo has to be activated by the headlight switch. I’m not sure I’d use this method if it does help because I do like the switched ignition method.
ds62 wiring halo turn signal harness will result in same radio static. Buddy of mine installed it that way and asked me the same thing about there being static now lol. I told him to try the ferrite core snap on things and I know he bought them, haven’t heard anything about it since.
I'm so glad your video was noted in an Amazon review - REALLY helped with the install! However, now FM radio reception is significantly diminished - might you have any thoughts/suggestions how to resolve that issue? Thanks!
Glad it helped!!! Too bad amazon doesn’t allow links anymore... yes my FM reception went down too.. I bought clip on ferrite core RFI EMI noise suppressors to help (just amazon search “clip-on ferrite core” and a bunch will pop up). I took those and trial and error clipped a few onto the halo wires (the ones I ran to a fuse). I’d say the helped about 75% for me.
Annette Brown honestly... I don’t remember.. I just played a fuzzy radio station that I knew came in clear before and kept trying till it came in more clear. I know I used at least 3. 2 on the halo wire right where it comes from the headlight and a third midway to fuse box. I think the idea is to have them closest to the interfering source, which are the halos (I think the fog lights when turned on interfered even more, but I never used them. Just the halo)
Hey thanks for the very informative video! I had a question because I bought these exact same lights + fog lights. If I didn’t want to go through the extra trouble of wiring to the fuse box... could I just wiretap my DRL wire to the middle wire in between the black ground wire and the the turn signal light wire? And I’d basically be done right? Sorry if that’s confusing, I’ve never wired anything before but trying to learn. Thanks!
Yes! That is exactly what you would do. However just know that doing it this way the DRL would ONLY come on when those amber lights are on. I know people who did it that way to have control of when they wanted the DRL on by just turning on the parking lights on (front amber lights and brake lights) By wiring them to the fuse box as I did, they come on no matter what as soon as I turn the key to the Jeep to the run position. Either way works and is fine, just personal preference on which you prefer. Feel free to ask more questions if you need!
Okay so I ended up just doing what you did and wiring to the fuse box. But now I have a problem, the driver side light won’t consistently work, it actually only works when i twist and turn it while it’s out of the headlight hole. I ordered more of the same lights and was gonna send the bad one back, but the new ones are doing the same. I also tried using the new H4-h13 adapters, still bad. So I think it’s prolly more of the wiring behind the headlights, maybe the connection that’s goes into the adapter. Not sure if you’ve experienced this or not but thought you might have some insight. And now that I think about it, the driver side headlight was always going off and on when I had the stock lights in, but I just bought this 2007 jk and wanted new lights anyways.
@@scweeb1101 my guess would be corrosion inside the headlight connector from your jeep or the female pin is bent/expanded too much. I had a fog light that would randomly turn off or get really dim if I hit a bump or something. It turned out to be the adapter wire harness the ground pin had pushed out of the connector slightly when I plugged it into the fog light. Few months later it did the same thing, however this time the one pin hole was corroded and larger than it should be from being exposed to my tires hitting it with water and other road debris (I switched to a 10th anniversary bumper and the fog lights are now right in front of the tires). I just took it off and scrapped out the corrosion with a needle, then bent the pin slot back out so it would contact the pin when connected. The reason why your stock headlights stayed on more or you didn’t notice as much is with the standard old style bulb holds power energy in it (when you turn it off it dims quickly instead of just instantly turning off). With LEDs if it loses connection even for a fraction of a second it will go out, since they require little power and just enough power to turn on. Therefore, I would look at your headlight connector/ wiring on your Jeep and not so much the headlights since you’ve tried two sets. Again my guess would just be the connector needs cleaned/one of the pin slots is bent or pulled slightly out off the connector. Worse case you have bad wiring/ground somewhere but I doubt it. Most likely corrosion or something bent in the connector causing intermittent connection loss. Let me know if you figure it out or if you have more questions!
Sorry for the late reply! I’ve been enjoying my lights! It turned out to be the headlight plug, so I bought a $7 h13 plug from autozone, and it works now! Thanks again for your video and insight.
I have another question. I connected my headlight "halo" wire to my under hood fuse box accessories location with a fuse tap so they light up with the ignition switch. Since then my halos are causing bad FM interference. I unplugged the halos from the fuse box and cut on the headlights and the interference was gone so I know it's my halos. Do you know of a fix for this interference?
Yeah...only downfall of some leds. You can buy those snap on ferrite ring core and clip them onto that wire (I believe closer to the light the better). Just do some trial and error, because too many can wake it worse. Right after adding them my radio still wasn’t like before. But it has gotten significantly better over time since I installed them. I just bought an assortment pack on amazon for like $10.
Just to be clear - if I just tap my halos into the turn signal, the halos will only come on when I have my parking lights on. But if I run my halos directly to the fuse box, they will always be on, whenever the vehicle is on? Thanks and sorry, never done any wiring before.
Ana Briselda I did have one leak after washing (seller sent me two brand new ones no problem). I since sealed where the lenses meets the rest of the headlight with clear silicone. I haven’t had any issues since. Fog lights slightly flicker but you can only notice if you don’t have the headlights on as well.. for the price that they are you can’t beat them. I still love them and have been working well.
I installed fog lights, however when I turn the fog lights on the headlights turn off. I thought that the fogs lights can be turned on with theheadlights. the fog lights seem to have another wire (blue) from the harness when I am assuming is for the halos to be on....??? Do I need to wire the fog lights differently?
That’s odd... mine has a loose yellow wire that is for halos. Regardless of the color of the loose wire, it should be for the halos... and isn’t even required to be hooked up at all for operation of the fog lights...if possible I would try reaching up there, disconnecting the fog lights and testing your old fog lights or just one new fog light at a time.... it is not making sense to me how your situation is possible.. but what I said is what I’d start with
If the M9 fuse slot is not being used would I just place a 3a fuse in the top slot of the fuse tap and leave the bottom slot empty when placing the fuse tap into M9 slot? Planning on getting these lights next week to replace the stock ones.
Scott Daly I just picked them up at my local automotive store. But they were these style. I just bought a 5 pack corresponding to the gauge of wire I used. www.amazon.com/dp/B083S6FVFM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ruxjFbM8FK88E
Great video. do you have the link for those replacement push pins on the bumper cover between the bumper and the grill? Can't seem to find the same ones on Amazon.
Thanks. I just added the link to them in the description! They used to be cheaper (Mine were $1.79 a piece when purchased). Just look up Crown Automotive 6502625, to see if you can find them elsewhere for cheaper.
Neither. They are grounded through the headlight harness (black is ground, the blue and white wires are hi/low beams on the H4 adapter harness). You don’t have to run a ground wire separately for the halos. For these particular headlights theres two extra little wires. One is + for halos, the other is + for turn signal. You don’t have to use the headlight turn signal at all if you don’t want.
1. 18 Gauge Automotive wire 2. 18 Gauge Quick Splice (to tap into turn signal wire) 3. Mini Fuse add-a-circuit with a mini fuse preferably less than 10 amps (To tap into Fuse box so when the ignition is on, the white halos are on) 4. T15 Torx to remove/install and adjust headlights 5. Smallish flathead screwdriver to remove the body clips to remove the grille Somewhat Optional: 6. Male and Female Spade Connectors - 18 Gauge (This headlight kit gave me some shorter wires that already had these connectors on them that I just didn't want to use because I would needed to lengthen them to reach fuse box, and the two different wires connected together would have bothered me...but also I have had different halo headlights that had the opposite spade connector, so I had to change them out to work.) 7. Some pliers or wire crimper would be helpful to crimp those spade connectors and the add-a-circuit 8. Heat Shrink Tubing (I just have an assortment of pre-cut pieces) - you could get away with just electrical tape but I discourage it 9. Soldering Iron and solder - You could use crimp butt connectors but I do not like them.. 10. Wire stripper - I use my teeth...... 11. Zip ties to secure wiring - you could just electrical tape it to existing wiring in your Jeep. 12. Clip-on Ferrite Ring Core (I had some decent radio interference when my halos were on, these helped reduce the EMI noise that LEDs can transmit through wiring. Trial and error placement on the halo wiring to see what helped the already crappy radio reception) 13. Replacement push pins if you destroy them on bumper cover (link in description) I don't think i'm forgetting anything, but I also did this over a year ago.... Any other help you may need, let me know :)
Hey I love the video and can’t wait to install my lights, could you make a list of all the extra tools and parts you used so I can buy everything before the install? Thanks
Cody Pollock all you really need is: 1) flat head screw driver 2) philips head screwdriver (fog lights) 3) T15 torx screwdriver for the headlights 4) 16-18 gauge wire (If wiring to fuse box) 5) mini add-a-circuit (usually comes with assortment of fuses) 6) wire strippers (I use my teeth) plyers to crimp 7) optional: 2x wire taps, mine were 18-22 gauge wire (found them at auto parts store). These are nice so you don’t have to cut your turn signal wire. 8) electrical tape or heat shrink 9) optional: soldering iron 10) drill with 1/8” bit to drill out the plastic screw fasteners (replaced with Crown 6502625 off Amazon. Like $1.75 a piece) I believe that is all. NOTE: HIGHLY recommend sealing around the headlights with clear silicone (where the clear plastic is adhered to the black headlight frame). I had a headlight leak after washing (seller replaced no issue) then after I sealed both with silicone I haven’t had a problem.
Cody Pollock you don’t need the metal connectors for the halo and turn signal like I used, you can just use the wire pieces that came with it that already have the connectors. Just splice additional wire to that wire instead
Great video! I put these in my last Jeep, just upgraded to a 2014 and bought again. Wanted to ask what fuse did you end up using in the fuse box for the halos to make running lights, 7.5? I was thinking about doing that and maybe running it to a switch on my A pillar. In case I didn't want running lights.
Michael Busher Nice! I still have the 7.5 in it right now no problem. But you could easily go down to a 5 or even 3 if you wanted. LEDs need the smallest amount of current to operate.. just make sure your fuse is rated higher amps than the fuse, so the fuse blows before the wire melts. I believe 18 gauge is rated for 13 amps... sorry for the long reply lol
Ross Silva all four DRL are spliced together to one single wire running to the fuse box, they come on when the jeep comes on then. All four of my halos are connected near the fuse box before going into it. Then the headlights turn signal function is spliced into far wire from the black wire on your turn signal light for. If you want them to come on with your parking lights (first turn of the knob so tail lights and yellow lights on the front) then you splice passenger drl (headlight and fog light) both into middle wire of turn signal (that is the parking light). Then do the same for the turn signals as before. The fog lights don’t have the amber turn signal function, just the drl so they are only wired to the fuse box in my case (again if u want them to come on with the parking lights then you would splice them into the middle wire of turn signal lights)... hopefully that helps.. please ask more questions if you need or if my explanation is confusing. Thanks!
No, only when key is turned in the ignition if you use the slot I did. Having them come on when you unlock it and have them on while driving would require a microcontroller properly programmed and wired to the system, more work than what it’s worth.
you likely have a Jeep that is not from the US. Other areas require daytime running lights while driving. To disable the low beam automatically coming on while driving, you will need a programmer to disable it. I recommend OBDJscan and a bluetooth OBD II reader that is supported by the Jscan app. Both are relatively cheap and there are other youtube videos that explain the app in depth.
I have installed these lights and like the way they look but the (DRL) are driving me crazy because when I put the jeep in drive and the DRL's come on EVERYTHING light's up the high-low-halo lights come on I just want the halo on for DRL any suggestions on a fix or are the light's mis-wired? Going nuts trying to figure this out PLEASE help .......
rodney fredrick my guess would be that you had day time running lights before installing these lights. If that’s the case, unfortunately there’s no easy fix. Turning off that daytime running light feature in the jeeps computer would solve your issue (halo ring on, headlight beams off). You could TRY to have the dealer disable that feature, but Ive heard they won’t. Another option is an AEV procal, or superchips flashcal. You can sometimes pic a procal on eBay for ~$100 but be careful as they are vin locked unless the Jeep was returned back to stock settings if the procal is used. There is also this new Bluetooth app that has been gaining popularity that is also a programmer. Search wrangler programmer phone app on UA-cam. Jk gear and gadgets does an in-depth view about it and it’s about $48 total. The halos on these led lights basically bypass the jeeps computer system and to just turn on when power is to the Jeep. In the US that’s not a problem as we don’t have mandatory DRL. In Canada and other locations it is mandatory so it’s programmed into the computer to turn on headlights while driving as DRL. I don’t think there’s another way around it, but I’m not too familiar with factory DRL option. Wish I could help you more man.
@@tybonez3646 thank you for the quick response yes I did have DRL's before I installed the halo lights I believe from the (factory) 2008 wrangler x .I just bought this rig a year ago I thought all wrangler had this option. I will try your suggestion once I get back from the mechanic for a brake job after I tried to do it my self and in the process of the brake job I stripped a tire lug nut and then once got the lug nut fixed I proceeded to twist the head off the brake caliper bolt . ( the jeep and I didn't get along very well at all this past weekend) . I realize I have gone beyond the halo issue with lights but to give you a quick history I have at with this rig over the last week .. thanks again
Tanner Paxton lol at the time of the video I only had my Jeep for a few months. Dealer had it detailed before I took it home. I spray it off after I wheel every once in a while now, but it’ll never be that clean again haha
quick question, i just bought halo headlights and fog lights for my jeep as well. i have everything except the fog lights working. there’s an extra white wire sticking out of the plug for the fog lights, and the fog lights will not work when i just plug them in. i’m thinking it’s because the white wire needs to go somewhere, where would you think it needs to go?
Zachary Klosterman so when you plug in the fog lights and try to turn them on they won’t illuminate at all? The wire sticking out with the plug is the halo positive wire. They should work regardless of that wire, just not the halo.
Thanks so much for the video. Im curious, if you use auto mode on your light knob, does your halo come on during the day? Or you need to hook it to the fuse box? Tks
Dominic Leduc mine is a sport, so I do not have automatic lights...But the halo is practically separate from the lights with its own wire. If you do have automatic headlights, and daytime running lights (US wranglers don’t, but can be programmed to) the headlight AND halo will come on. Not just the halo. By wiring the halo to the fuse box, I am essentially making the halo my daytime running lights (on all the time the key is in run position). Hope this helps!
@@tybonez3646 so if I just want the halo, I guess I need to turn off DRL using my Procal and fuse box the halo like you. That way "auto" will only display halo until dawn (my brain hurts lolll)
Hey Ty got a question for u.. i too have a '14 jku and i didn't see if you installed any anti-flicker box... i saw the adapters but that was all.. are u having any issues with flickering ? Or did i just miss that part ?
Mark Hooper these lights have anti-flicker modules built into them! At first, if just the fog lights were on you could see a flicker, but that went away for me and it couldn’t be seen with the headlights on. I’ve never had issues with flickering at all for the headlights. No extra anti-flicker harnesses needed
When I first installed them they both had condensation. I peeled the little breather vent on the back and left my fog lights on for a little while in my garage until the condensation was gone. Haven’t had an issue since and they’ve been installed for about 2 years
Just the halos flicker not the actual low beam or high beam? How do you have your halos wired? If it’s the halos only flickering and you have them wired to your marker lights, I’d try them straight to 12v + source (fuse block or just test straight from battery) and see if they do the same. My guess is the CAN-bus system in the jeep isn’t supplying the halo LEDS with steady current. The headlights should have built in anti-flicker harnesses that help supply a steady flow of juice from the Jeeps computer system.
@@tybonez3646 ok I made some test, the halo are working on day light but when I'm getting inside my garage, night lights get on and the halos are blinking.. test were made on auto lights
I hate being that guy... but what is the music you have going on in the video? I cannot wait to add the lights to my jeep as well. Thanks for the silicone sealing heads up, in FL that is a huge issue.
It is just free no copyright music. Audio Library - No Copyright Music is the UA-cam Channel I get them from, You'll notice a lot of these songs a lot of youtubers use.
Craig Eccles they’ve been amazing (especially for their price). Still working great. I had the driver one leak after a heavy wash. The seller sent me a replacement. I ended up drying the old one out and sealing both with silicone around where the lens is attached to the housing. Been fine ever since (except for a water stain on the inside from the leak, just haven’t felt the need to replace it with the new one). I thought I had other issues but it ended up that the ground pin was pushed slightly out of the provided adapter connector and just needed pushed back in. Actually surprised about the quality and how long they have lasted. I’ve had them in for over a year at this point and over 20,000 miles and would buy again if something happened.
@@tybonez3646 cheers for the reply. I will definately be getting these. Not being too confident with electrics you have given me the confidence with this awesome tutorial. Keep up the good work and thanks for the time.
ds62 they might be a little brighter. The leds are closer together and might be a different shade of white compare to head lights. Some people complained that the headlight halos were different shades than the fog light halos.. but hasn’t bothered me (and I have mild OCD)
Yes, mine appear to have two different color temperatures and it’s bothering me. I bought the headlights and fog lights separately and was about to buy a complete package in order to get the color temperature correct. After talking I feel it probably won’t change anything. Thanks for a great “how to” video!
ds62 I would guess you’d still run into the same issue (all sellers probably get them from the same manufacturer). For the price, I can’t complain. Glad I could help!
found you from your amazon review. thanks for the vid. where in pa are you? i’m near mechanicsburg and it’d be worth a twenty and a beer for some help if you’re nearby
Angie Parkhill I highly recommend you contact the company with the exact issue. They should be more than willing to help resolve the issue and or send replacements. I had one go out on me, and they send me another set. While the new ones were in transit, it came back on and has been working since. Good luck!
The last 9 minutes is all about the fog lights. Getting the stock ones out and new ones in. Then wiring the halo. If you are referring to actually connecting them to the Jeep’s wiring harness, these were plug and play. Came with an adapter harness I just plugged into the Jeep’s wiring. For these particular fog lights I did not feel it necessary to show plugging them in. But you are correct I did not show that. If you have questions about that let me know. Most sets come with a adapter wire that plugs right in. But I have recently seen ones that are just a red and black stripped wire at the end or is missing the adapter from the fog light to the Jeeps wiring. These adapters are $10 on Amazon

Just installed the same setup on my '14 Sahara. Looks great on the white jeep. two items that I wanted to share with you and the group
1. You don't need to remove the bottom pan to put the fog lights in. I went through the exercise of pulling it down but ended up using my cell phone in selfie mode to see the screws for the fog lights from the top. Sitting on a cooler is a hell of a lot easier for this old guy to work than laying on my back.
2. The connections provided for the fog lights tend to just pull apart even with applying pressure to connect them. I ended up putting a wire tie across both pieces through the output wires and pulled snug. Ain't moving now.
Great video and I learned a lot about the install due to the one page directions provided sucked. Oh, I did seal both sets with a silicone sealant before installing, good call,.
Came here from an Amazon review and the tip for tapping into the blinker was a life saver. Thanks brotha
Hi, I bought the headlights last week and your video, very detailed, allowed me to install them without problem. The look is great. Great job. Thank you.
Sab SS awesome! Glad I could help.
Thank you for posting this video. I installed the headlights today and everything is fine. I will install the fog lights one day next week. The video was extremely helpful and much better than some of the others I have seen. Thanks again!
Wayne Stevenson Awesome!! Glad I could help!
TyBonez I did install everything as per video and my halos work when we turn ignition on but as soon put in drive low beam turn on as my running lights ...but I want only halos turn on while driving... please advise
Installed these in 1/2/2020. I did seal them like he said. But no problems so far. I daily drive my Jeep. So they been through Hurricanes and the great Texas Blizzard. They still work just fine. Good investment.
Used your link and purchased these lights. I installed them today along with a Smittybilt XRC Gen2 Front Bumper. The bumper was actually pretty quick, the lights took me a little longer. Total time for all was about 3 1/2 hours, not too bad. Thanks for the video, I'm very happy about the new look! Next is either xrc armor fenders or bumper, either way they are all coming eventually...
Glad I can help! I was just looking into bumpers. Just keep dumping more and more money into it...Just a little tip, I did have one headlight leak from washing with pressure washer (didn;'t leak during a rain). They sent me two replacements even though I only needed one. I ended up drying that one out and sealing both with clear silicone where the lense meets the housing. Haven't had an issue since ( and now I have a backup set). Fog lights I haven't touched, only had a little condensation when first used. Might be worth the 30 mins to do the same
I like your idea with running the halos to a fuse. I got my lights in and there was no paperwork, I was like there has to be video because I'm sure I'm not the only one going wtf.🤷♂️
GREAT hack with that drain hole! Clean. Thank you!!
I have the same lights and the connectors weren’t great and kept loosening up so I hardwired everything.
Good video . Thanks.
One of the best channels in my opinion
I followed for the crocs and socks 😂🤙🏼
Thanks so much for the video! Helped tremendously.
Did the headlight install with halos to fuse box, but have an issue. Works properly in park (DRL just halo, low beam, high beam) but when I put Jeep in reverse or drive all lights turn on (halo low & high same time). Any tips?
Do you by chance have a non US Jeep? I believe Canada and elsewhere the Jeep is programmed from factory to have daytime running lights. Meaning the headlights are on no matter what when in drive gears. Or your jeep was programmed to do this. If your headlights came on in drive with the stock headlights too, this would make sense. Since these headlights pretty much act as DRL. You can go to a dealer and have them turn off this function for a few or use a programmer like OBDJscan. I used OBDJscan (phone app) and a Bluetooth OBD reader from Amazon to program my Jeep for tire size, backup camera, hard top functions, and more. Total was like $35 for the reader and for 1 vin licenses to use OBDJscan.
Now if you don’t have daytime running lights from factory..... then I am not entirely sure what’s going on, but sounds like yours is programmed like this from factory.
@@tybonez3646 yes Canadian. Appreciate the info. Will be trying that this weekend.
Thanks for the vid, but honestly Bro I don't know how you do anything in that mess of mass confusion. LoL
I’m an engineer, everything I do is a mess of mass confusion. You get used to it lol
Great video but interested what model LED halos & fog lights did you use and after 2 years how are they doing
Robert Tuley the link for these headlights/fog lights is in the video description. I had one of them leak a little water, but the company sent me a replacement immediately. I ended up sealing where the clear part of the headlight meets the metal body with silicone for added insurance that it won’t leak. I used them for about a year and a half with zero issues before switching to a different style headlight. I was just thinking about switching back to these as my new one’s light pattern isn’t as good as these. Let me know if you have any more questions!
I wired my new lights up as you showed (thanks very much by the way) and it was all working great. Tonight, however, for some reason the 10 Amp fuse in the Fuse Tap blew twice, so I lost my DRL's. At the same time, the halos on the headlights started flickering, but only when the car was running, not when it was off. Those things may not be connected in any way, but wondered if you had seen this? I have a feeling I may have a bad wire connection that is tripping the fuse, but just thought I would ask.
Thanks again...great video. Extremely helpful as my son and I got to spend an afternoon working on the Jeep!. Good times.
If they were working fine for a while and just started to blow the fuses, I'd say you have a bad connection somewhere. To me it sounds like its grounding out on the body of the Jeep somewhere. Did you tape up the spade connections? I would trace all the wires to make sure there's not a cut or the protective casing is rubbed off the wire on the body of the Jeep. I would also check the halo wire coming from the headlight, as it is pretty thin. If you still cant find the issue, I would turn the halos on and put in a small fuse (I think I have 7.5 Amp in mine and just never changed it, but 5 Amp should be more than enough) and wiggle the wires for the halos to see if you can trace the source of the issue. Being that you said they only flickered while running gives me the thought that the halo power wire is only grounding out from the vibration. I've also heard of rodents chewing the protective casing off the wires for whatever reason. The halo circuit is grounded through the ground pin on the headlight harness. I have had pins push through the harness before and cause an intermittent connection, but this would not explain the blown fuses.
If you still cannot trace the problem it COULD be the headlights themselves. The seller should be able to send you some replacements. Glad I could help! Let me know what the issue was if you find it!
@@tybonez3646 Thanks for the help. You were right..one of the spade connections was not taped up all the way and must have been hitting something. I did that and no blown fuses this week and the flicker appears to be gone.
I was wondering if you knew if I might be able to add another DRL to this fuse and it would still work? Right now I have a Quadratec set of 3 orange lights in the grill (www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/pre-runner-led-light-bar-kit-jeep-wrangler-jk) that I have hooked to the side markers so they come on with parking lights or full lights, but was thinking it may look nice to splice those in too? I also have some turn signals that are LED that have running lights vertically, but not sure how much all this may add. Doesnt seem like a lot, but was just curious?
Thanks again for all the info...this was great.
@@bradaldis9037 technically you SHOULD be fine as the required amps for LED lights are very low. as long as you run a fuse that is less amps than the rated max amps for the wiring used, you could try running it all on one circuit. However not knowing the amp draw of everything that would be on that circuit, it’s hard to give you a definite answer. Could always use another add-a-circuit tap
Did you end up installing a switch for the daytime halos. That would just involve running a single wire from you (3) wire spice, thru the switch, then to the fuse box .. ? Thanks
Brian Skalman I ended up never installing the switch to turn off the daytime halos. I never actually found a reason why I would ever turn the halos off and didn’t have a place for the switch. However, If I were to do so, I’d do exactly what you said. Those halos should be such low amperage that a relay is not necessary. Just keep a small fuse in the add-a-circuit (~5A, probably even less).
Hi, with the yellow DRL wire, do you know how would you install it so that the DRL Halos go off when put headlights on? As I take it your DRL halos stay on even when headlights on? Thanks and great video!
It wouldn’t be simple to have it so your halos are off when headlights are on. You would have to create a controller and piggy back it in with the actual headlight harness to tell it when power is sent to hi/lo beams to basically turn off power to halos. Or wire a physical switch between the halo wire and the fuse box or wherever you are supplying power to the halo then put the switch inside where you could toggle it manually to turn them off.... BUT I believe the halos are powered on when headlights are on regardless of the little halo wire is actually connected to power or not.. I could be wrong, I forget. I have a different set of headlights installed for now and have these ones packed in a box somewhere for moving or I would test that theory for you
I have the same lights and am about to install. I plugged everything in and did a temp connection for the signals and halos and all good. I also test for the headlights in the mounts and the drivers side installs tight but OK. The passenger won't fit. I saw the still pic in the bid showing where you shaved the bucket. Did you take the bucket out? Was that one square mount area the only thing that gets on the way? It almost feels like the rear fins on the headlight are in the way? Help please! Also is the spot you shaved on the top left when the bucket is installed? Thanks
I left the bucket in when I shaved it. It was fairly close to fitting, so I am pretty sure I just shaved it down with a very sharp knife. I have also seen people shave down the actual headlight part instead. I've put my old headlights back in after I shaved the headlight bucket and they still fit fine. I believe that one square mount was the only thing that was in the way for me. Yes, The spot I shaved was the top left when installed. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions/concerns!
Can you tell me how to wire these headlights to where the headlights come on with the auto lights feature? I have a wrangler unlimited. Did hook up the halos like you recommended and like it, but want the headlights to stay off during the day and come on at night by the auto lights function
Do you already have the auto headlights function? It SHOULD just be plug and play then. I could be wrong. If not, I am not familiar with what is needed to achieve this as I haven’t dealt with it and no longer have my wrangler.
My turn signals don't work (halos). Used splicers like in the video, but no luck. Maybe didn't install right, or crimp hard enough? I'll try again, or splice them the old fashioned way.
It is possible you used too big of a splicer causing it to not actually cut the wire jacket and not let it touch the metal wire inside. Make sure your headlights are plugged in and the turn signal bulbs are also plugged in when you test. The ground for the halos is run through the headlight harness. Also make sure you tapped in to the correct wire (red and white wire I believe and its the opposite end of the black wire). The middle white wire is the parking lights. You can also take the turn signal wire from the headlight and touch it to +12v to confirm that the amber part works for the halo. Good Luck!
@@tybonez3646 thanks for the help, and the video!!! I appreciate it!
What brand of headlights did you use, that you had to modify the brackets 🤔
LX-light on amazon. Modification was minor
Even though I love the accessory connection I may try connecting straight to the turn signal harness so the halo has to be activated by the headlight switch. I’m not sure I’d use this method if it does help because I do like the switched ignition method.
ds62 wiring halo turn signal harness will result in same radio static. Buddy of mine installed it that way and asked me the same thing about there being static now lol. I told him to try the ferrite core snap on things and I know he bought them, haven’t heard anything about it since.
Thanks that helps to know.
I'm so glad your video was noted in an Amazon review - REALLY helped with the install! However, now FM radio reception is significantly diminished - might you have any thoughts/suggestions how to resolve that issue? Thanks!
Glad it helped!!! Too bad amazon doesn’t allow links anymore... yes my FM reception went down too.. I bought clip on ferrite core RFI EMI noise suppressors to help (just amazon search “clip-on ferrite core” and a bunch will pop up). I took those and trial and error clipped a few onto the halo wires (the ones I ran to a fuse). I’d say the helped about 75% for me.
By "a few" do you mean one for each halo wire, or???
Annette Brown honestly... I don’t remember.. I just played a fuzzy radio station that I knew came in clear before and kept trying till it came in more clear. I know I used at least 3. 2 on the halo wire right where it comes from the headlight and a third midway to fuse box. I think the idea is to have them closest to the interfering source, which are the halos (I think the fog lights when turned on interfered even more, but I never used them. Just the halo)
Hey thanks for the very informative video! I had a question because I bought these exact same lights + fog lights. If I didn’t want to go through the extra trouble of wiring to the fuse box... could I just wiretap my DRL wire to the middle wire in between the black ground wire and the the turn signal light wire? And I’d basically be done right? Sorry if that’s confusing, I’ve never wired anything before but trying to learn. Thanks!
Yes! That is exactly what you would do. However just know that doing it this way the DRL would ONLY come on when those amber lights are on. I know people who did it that way to have control of when they wanted the DRL on by just turning on the parking lights on (front amber lights and brake lights)
By wiring them to the fuse box as I did, they come on no matter what as soon as I turn the key to the Jeep to the run position. Either way works and is fine, just personal preference on which you prefer. Feel free to ask more questions if you need!
Okay so I ended up just doing what you did and wiring to the fuse box. But now I have a problem, the driver side light won’t consistently work, it actually only works when i twist and turn it while it’s out of the headlight hole. I ordered more of the same lights and was gonna send the bad one back, but the new ones are doing the same. I also tried using the new H4-h13 adapters, still bad. So I think it’s prolly more of the wiring behind the headlights, maybe the connection that’s goes into the adapter. Not sure if you’ve experienced this or not but thought you might have some insight. And now that I think about it, the driver side headlight was always going off and on when I had the stock lights in, but I just bought this 2007 jk and wanted new lights anyways.
@@scweeb1101 my guess would be corrosion inside the headlight connector from your jeep or the female pin is bent/expanded too much. I had a fog light that would randomly turn off or get really dim if I hit a bump or something. It turned out to be the adapter wire harness the ground pin had pushed out of the connector slightly when I plugged it into the fog light. Few months later it did the same thing, however this time the one pin hole was corroded and larger than it should be from being exposed to my tires hitting it with water and other road debris (I switched to a 10th anniversary bumper and the fog lights are now right in front of the tires). I just took it off and scrapped out the corrosion with a needle, then bent the pin slot back out so it would contact the pin when connected. The reason why your stock headlights stayed on more or you didn’t notice as much is with the standard old style bulb holds power energy in it (when you turn it off it dims quickly instead of just instantly turning off). With LEDs if it loses connection even for a fraction of a second it will go out, since they require little power and just enough power to turn on. Therefore, I would look at your headlight connector/ wiring on your Jeep and not so much the headlights since you’ve tried two sets. Again my guess would just be the connector needs cleaned/one of the pin slots is bent or pulled slightly out off the connector. Worse case you have bad wiring/ground somewhere but I doubt it. Most likely corrosion or something bent in the connector causing intermittent connection loss. Let me know if you figure it out or if you have more questions!
Sorry for the late reply! I’ve been enjoying my lights! It turned out to be the headlight plug, so I bought a $7 h13 plug from autozone, and it works now! Thanks again for your video and insight.
I have another question. I connected my headlight "halo" wire to my under hood fuse box accessories location with a fuse tap so they light up with the ignition switch. Since then my halos are causing bad FM interference. I unplugged the halos from the fuse box and cut on the headlights and the interference was gone so I know it's my halos. Do you know of a fix for this interference?
Yeah...only downfall of some leds. You can buy those snap on ferrite ring core and clip them onto that wire (I believe closer to the light the better). Just do some trial and error, because too many can wake it worse. Right after adding them my radio still wasn’t like before. But it has gotten significantly better over time since I installed them. I just bought an assortment pack on amazon for like $10.
Just to be clear - if I just tap my halos into the turn signal, the halos will only come on when I have my parking lights on. But if I run my halos directly to the fuse box, they will always be on, whenever the vehicle is on? Thanks and sorry, never done any wiring before.
Yes! That is exactly correct
Any issues? ( updates )
I just order mines. Can’t wait to install 👩🏻🔧my lights.
Ana Briselda I did have one leak after washing (seller sent me two brand new ones no problem). I since sealed where the lenses meets the rest of the headlight with clear silicone. I haven’t had any issues since. Fog lights slightly flicker but you can only notice if you don’t have the headlights on as well.. for the price that they are you can’t beat them. I still love them and have been working well.
I installed fog lights, however when I turn the fog lights on the headlights turn off. I thought that the fogs lights can be turned on with theheadlights. the fog lights seem to have another wire (blue) from the harness when I am assuming is for the halos to be on....??? Do I need to wire the fog lights differently?
That’s odd... mine has a loose yellow wire that is for halos. Regardless of the color of the loose wire, it should be for the halos... and isn’t even required to be hooked up at all for operation of the fog lights...if possible I would try reaching up there, disconnecting the fog lights and testing your old fog lights or just one new fog light at a time.... it is not making sense to me how your situation is possible.. but what I said is what I’d start with
If the M9 fuse slot is not being used would I just place a 3a fuse in the top slot of the fuse tap and leave the bottom slot empty when placing the fuse tap into M9 slot? Planning on getting these lights next week to replace the stock ones.
Yep!
TyBonez awesome thank you for your quick response and great video!
Can you post a link for the wire taps that you used. TIA
Scott Daly I just picked them up at my local automotive store. But they were these style. I just bought a 5 pack corresponding to the gauge of wire I used. www.amazon.com/dp/B083S6FVFM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ruxjFbM8FK88E
For some reason, I got everything wired in, but my left headlight DRL angel eye won’t come on ☹️
I haven't found a solution for this yet, I have just disabled them until I have time to fix it
@@codycecil6736 happened to me until I realized I didn't press the splicer deep enough
You should put a link to the lighta you purchased on amazon
Thanks... Thought I already had it in the description... It has been added!
TyBonez thank you
Great video. do you have the link for those replacement push pins on the bumper cover between the bumper and the grill? Can't seem to find the same ones on Amazon.
Thanks. I just added the link to them in the description! They used to be cheaper (Mine were $1.79 a piece when purchased). Just look up Crown Automotive 6502625, to see if you can find them elsewhere for cheaper.
where did you ground the negative wire from the halos? Battery or body.
Neither. They are grounded through the headlight harness (black is ground, the blue and white wires are hi/low beams on the H4 adapter harness). You don’t have to run a ground wire separately for the halos. For these particular headlights theres two extra little wires. One is + for halos, the other is + for turn signal. You don’t have to use the headlight turn signal at all if you don’t want.
I'm super new to all of this. Do you have a supplies list? It didn't look like you cut anything and I'd like to go that route.
1. 18 Gauge Automotive wire
2. 18 Gauge Quick Splice (to tap into turn signal wire)
3. Mini Fuse add-a-circuit with a mini fuse preferably less than 10 amps (To tap into Fuse box so when the ignition is on, the white halos are on)
4. T15 Torx to remove/install and adjust headlights
5. Smallish flathead screwdriver to remove the body clips to remove the grille
Somewhat Optional:
6. Male and Female Spade Connectors - 18 Gauge (This headlight kit gave me some shorter wires that already had these connectors on them that I just didn't want to use because I would needed to lengthen them to reach fuse box, and the two different wires connected together would have bothered me...but also I have had different halo headlights that had the opposite spade connector, so I had to change them out to work.)
7. Some pliers or wire crimper would be helpful to crimp those spade connectors and the add-a-circuit
8. Heat Shrink Tubing (I just have an assortment of pre-cut pieces) - you could get away with just electrical tape but I discourage it
9. Soldering Iron and solder - You could use crimp butt connectors but I do not like them..
10. Wire stripper - I use my teeth......
11. Zip ties to secure wiring - you could just electrical tape it to existing wiring in your Jeep.
12. Clip-on Ferrite Ring Core (I had some decent radio interference when my halos were on, these helped reduce the EMI noise that LEDs can transmit through wiring. Trial and error placement on the halo wiring to see what helped the already crappy radio reception)
13. Replacement push pins if you destroy them on bumper cover (link in description)
I don't think i'm forgetting anything, but I also did this over a year ago.... Any other help you may need, let me know :)
@@tybonez3646 Thank you!!!
Hey I love the video and can’t wait to install my lights, could you make a list of all the extra tools and parts you used so I can buy everything before the install?
Thanks
Cody Pollock all you really need is:
1) flat head screw driver
2) philips head screwdriver (fog lights)
3) T15 torx screwdriver for the headlights
4) 16-18 gauge wire (If wiring to fuse box)
5) mini add-a-circuit (usually comes with assortment of fuses)
6) wire strippers (I use my teeth) plyers to crimp
7) optional: 2x wire taps, mine were 18-22 gauge wire (found them at auto parts store). These are nice so you don’t have to cut your turn signal wire.
8) electrical tape or heat shrink
9) optional: soldering iron
10) drill with 1/8” bit to drill out the plastic screw fasteners (replaced with Crown 6502625 off Amazon. Like $1.75 a piece)
I believe that is all. NOTE: HIGHLY recommend sealing around the headlights with clear silicone (where the clear plastic is adhered to the black headlight frame). I had a headlight leak after washing (seller replaced no issue) then after I sealed both with silicone I haven’t had a problem.
Cody Pollock you don’t need the metal connectors for the halo and turn signal like I used, you can just use the wire pieces that came with it that already have the connectors. Just splice additional wire to that wire instead
Thanks a lot man!!
Great video! I put these in my last Jeep, just upgraded to a 2014 and bought again. Wanted to ask what fuse did you end up using in the fuse box for the halos to make running lights, 7.5? I was thinking about doing that and maybe running it to a switch on my A pillar. In case I didn't want running lights.
Michael Busher Nice! I still have the 7.5 in it right now no problem. But you could easily go down to a 5 or even 3 if you wanted. LEDs need the smallest amount of current to operate.. just make sure your fuse is rated higher amps than the fuse, so the fuse blows before the wire melts. I believe 18 gauge is rated for 13 amps... sorry for the long reply lol
Same process for fog light?
Yep! It is long but towards the end of the video I show what I did for the fogs, but I tied all four halos together to one wire to the fuse box.
Thank you
Sick vid
Where exactly did you splice in the drl from the fog light? Do you run the fog halo to the exact place as the headlight halo on the amber turn signal?
Ross Silva all four DRL are spliced together to one single wire running to the fuse box, they come on when the jeep comes on then. All four of my halos are connected near the fuse box before going into it. Then the headlights turn signal function is spliced into far wire from the black wire on your turn signal light for. If you want them to come on with your parking lights (first turn of the knob so tail lights and yellow lights on the front) then you splice passenger drl (headlight and fog light) both into middle wire of turn signal (that is the parking light). Then do the same for the turn signals as before. The fog lights don’t have the amber turn signal function, just the drl so they are only wired to the fuse box in my case (again if u want them to come on with the parking lights then you would splice them into the middle wire of turn signal lights)... hopefully that helps.. please ask more questions if you need or if my explanation is confusing. Thanks!
TyBonez perfect. Excellent explanation. Will complete this weekend. I will reach out if more info is need. Again. Thanks! Great job with the vid
Thank you. Very helpful
If you use a tap the fuse will the halos turn on when you unlock the car?
No, only when key is turned in the ignition if you use the slot I did. Having them come on when you unlock it and have them on while driving would require a microcontroller properly programmed and wired to the system, more work than what it’s worth.
@@tybonez3646 agreed not worth it, thanks
Hello please help me how to disable low beam while driving
you likely have a Jeep that is not from the US. Other areas require daytime running lights while driving. To disable the low beam automatically coming on while driving, you will need a programmer to disable it. I recommend OBDJscan and a bluetooth OBD II reader that is supported by the Jscan app. Both are relatively cheap and there are other youtube videos that explain the app in depth.
I have installed these lights and like the way they look but the (DRL) are driving me crazy because when I put the jeep in drive and the DRL's come on EVERYTHING light's up the high-low-halo lights come on I just want the halo on for DRL any suggestions on a fix or are the light's mis-wired? Going nuts trying to figure this out PLEASE help .......
rodney fredrick my guess would be that you had day time running lights before installing these lights. If that’s the case, unfortunately there’s no easy fix. Turning off that daytime running light feature in the jeeps computer would solve your issue (halo ring on, headlight beams off). You could TRY to have the dealer disable that feature, but Ive heard they won’t. Another option is an AEV procal, or superchips flashcal. You can sometimes pic a procal on eBay for ~$100 but be careful as they are vin locked unless the Jeep was returned back to stock settings if the procal is used. There is also this new Bluetooth app that has been gaining popularity that is also a programmer. Search wrangler programmer phone app on UA-cam. Jk gear and gadgets does an in-depth view about it and it’s about $48 total. The halos on these led lights basically bypass the jeeps computer system and to just turn on when power is to the Jeep. In the US that’s not a problem as we don’t have mandatory DRL. In Canada and other locations it is mandatory so it’s programmed into the computer to turn on headlights while driving as DRL. I don’t think there’s another way around it, but I’m not too familiar with factory DRL option. Wish I could help you more man.
@@tybonez3646 thank you for the quick response yes I did have DRL's before I installed the halo lights I believe from the (factory) 2008 wrangler x .I just bought this rig a year ago I thought all wrangler had this option.

( the jeep and I didn't get along very well at all this past weekend) . I realize I have gone beyond the halo issue with lights but to give you a quick history I have at with this rig over the last week .. thanks again

How the hell is your engine bay so clean?
Tanner Paxton lol at the time of the video I only had my Jeep for a few months. Dealer had it detailed before I took it home. I spray it off after I wheel every once in a while now, but it’ll never be that clean again haha
If the halos are run into the fuse box will they stay on when the headlights are turned on?
Michael Gebhardt yep, that is correct
quick question, i just bought halo headlights and fog lights for my jeep as well. i have everything except the fog lights working. there’s an extra white wire sticking out of the plug for the fog lights, and the fog lights will not work when i just plug them in. i’m thinking it’s because the white wire needs to go somewhere, where would you think it needs to go?
Zachary Klosterman so when you plug in the fog lights and try to turn them on they won’t illuminate at all? The wire sticking out with the plug is the halo positive wire. They should work regardless of that wire, just not the halo.
Thanks so much for the video. Im curious, if you use auto mode on your light knob, does your halo come on during the day? Or you need to hook it to the fuse box? Tks
Dominic Leduc mine is a sport, so I do not have automatic lights...But the halo is practically separate from the lights with its own wire. If you do have automatic headlights, and daytime running lights (US wranglers don’t, but can be programmed to) the headlight AND halo will come on. Not just the halo. By wiring the halo to the fuse box, I am essentially making the halo my daytime running lights (on all the time the key is in run position). Hope this helps!
@@tybonez3646 so if I just want the halo, I guess I need to turn off DRL using my Procal and fuse box the halo like you. That way "auto" will only display halo until dawn (my brain hurts lolll)
Dominic Leduc lol yep! That SHOULD do it
@@tybonez3646 ok so I just installed them and they look awesome. Thanks so much for your video. It really helped
Hey Ty got a question for u.. i too have a '14 jku and i didn't see if you installed any anti-flicker box... i saw the adapters but that was all.. are u having any issues with flickering ? Or did i just miss that part ?
Mark Hooper these lights have anti-flicker modules built into them! At first, if just the fog lights were on you could see a flicker, but that went away for me and it couldn’t be seen with the headlights on. I’ve never had issues with flickering at all for the headlights. No extra anti-flicker harnesses needed

Hi are the fogs still condensating? I installed same headlight and fogs on mine, and both are having some serious condensation here in winter.
When I first installed them they both had condensation. I peeled the little breather vent on the back and left my fog lights on for a little while in my garage until the condensation was gone. Haven’t had an issue since and they’ve been installed for about 2 years
@@tybonez3646 Appreciate the input, I do notice a vent cap on them, I will try ur method for sure. Thank you.
What brand are those lights
Lx-light. Link to them is in the description
Just finished the installation and started my jeep... head lights worked perfectly but both halo are flickering??? Could you help me ???
Just the halos flicker not the actual low beam or high beam? How do you have your halos wired? If it’s the halos only flickering and you have them wired to your marker lights, I’d try them straight to 12v + source (fuse block or just test straight from battery) and see if they do the same. My guess is the CAN-bus system in the jeep isn’t supplying the halo LEDS with steady current. The headlights should have built in anti-flicker harnesses that help supply a steady flow of juice from the Jeeps computer system.
@@tybonez3646 the halo on my fog lights are not working on day light... just working when I put them on
@@tybonez3646 just on the battery power they don't blick but engine on they blick
@@tybonez3646 ok I made some test, the halo are working on day light but when I'm getting inside my garage, night lights get on and the halos are blinking.. test were made on auto lights
@@tybonez3646 I wired all the halo ( fog lights and head lights) to the fuse pack inside M9
Bought these lights. Thought I could just plug them in and have them on auto, guess not 😂
Brittany Joiner lol unfortunately not
great video.
Matthew Cassar Thanks bud
I hate being that guy... but what is the music you have going on in the video? I cannot wait to add the lights to my jeep as well. Thanks for the silicone sealing heads up, in FL that is a huge issue.
It is just free no copyright music. Audio Library - No Copyright Music is the UA-cam Channel I get them from, You'll notice a lot of these songs a lot of youtubers use.
What's the website name for the lights

months on, are these light still working ok? Great video.
Craig Eccles they’ve been amazing (especially for their price). Still working great. I had the driver one leak after a heavy wash. The seller sent me a replacement. I ended up drying the old one out and sealing both with silicone around where the lens is attached to the housing. Been fine ever since (except for a water stain on the inside from the leak, just haven’t felt the need to replace it with the new one). I thought I had other issues but it ended up that the ground pin was pushed slightly out of the provided adapter connector and just needed pushed back in. Actually surprised about the quality and how long they have lasted. I’ve had them in for over a year at this point and over 20,000 miles and would buy again if something happened.
@@tybonez3646 cheers for the reply. I will definately be getting these. Not being too confident with electrics you have given me the confidence with this awesome tutorial. Keep up the good work and thanks for the time.
How did you install the fog light for main power for the light itself im from pittsburgh pa ill buy you a beer too if you help me
Justin Jones to use the fog light main part? It was just a plug and play wire from the old fog lights
Are the halos on your fog lights brighter than the halos on the headlights?
ds62 they might be a little brighter. The leds are closer together and might be a different shade of white compare to head lights. Some people complained that the headlight halos were different shades than the fog light halos.. but hasn’t bothered me (and I have mild OCD)
Yes, mine appear to have two different color temperatures and it’s bothering me. I bought the headlights and fog lights separately and was about to buy a complete package in order to get the color temperature correct. After talking I feel it probably won’t change anything. Thanks for a great “how to” video!
ds62 I would guess you’d still run into the same issue (all sellers probably get them from the same manufacturer). For the price, I can’t complain. Glad I could help!
Hey thanks
found you from your amazon review. thanks for the vid. where in pa are you? i’m near mechanicsburg and it’d be worth a twenty and a beer for some help if you’re nearby
John Coyne I’m near Pittsburgh
I could not get my fog lights to work in this brand
Angie Parkhill I highly recommend you contact the company with the exact issue. They should be more than willing to help resolve the issue and or send replacements. I had one go out on me, and they send me another set. While the new ones were in transit, it came back on and has been working since. Good luck!
Don't muve to much the camara !! I can't see the connection...
I fall asleep at the 3rd minute...😴😴😴
Hope you had a nice nap
You didn’t show how to connect the fog lights lmao
The last 9 minutes is all about the fog lights. Getting the stock ones out and new ones in. Then wiring the halo. If you are referring to actually connecting them to the Jeep’s wiring harness, these were plug and play. Came with an adapter harness I just plugged into the Jeep’s wiring. For these particular fog lights I did not feel it necessary to show plugging them in. But you are correct I did not show that. If you have questions about that let me know. Most sets come with a adapter wire that plugs right in. But I have recently seen ones that are just a red and black stripped wire at the end or is missing the adapter from the fog light to the Jeeps wiring. These adapters are $10 on Amazon
@@tybonez3646 well not all fog lights do... and I’m having trouble with mine
@@OnlyJku15Fans well what trouble are you having? If the plug on the fog light doesn’t fit into your jeeps plug. You likely need this.

The spare loose wire is the halo of your fog light has it. Usually it’s yellow. Or you can cut the connector off your jeeps halos and splice directly into it.
