Depends how much you want to spend. If you want to go the inexpensive route there are many threads on here regarding types of replacement bulbs, to get, etc. I did that at first but now slowly little by little I am replacing things such as getting rid of the stock halogen fog lights and moving to DD SS3 Fog Pods and moving from the stock halogen headlites that I changed just the the bulbs to LED and honestly they worked great. I am no installing Oracle Switchback Lights but a lot of that has to do with cool factor over performance. Eventually I may add some LED lights to the back. Right now can't decide if I want to keep the rear stock lights and just put in LED bulbs or get the new slim mount Oracle Rear LED Taillights.

Lots of threads in the Lighting and DIY sections. The less expensive route is putting LED bulbs in the factory fixtures. The preferred, and more expensive option, is replacing the factory fixtures with LED models. If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow, I would look for a heated LED headlight option.

I definitely recommend full unit replacement on the headlights and foglights, but every other light is diffused, so just replacing the bulb will get you similar results. I have highbeamoffroad.net headlights on my Gladiator and the wife's JLU and have had no issues. I run the Drifter series headlight and they are BRIGHT with a good enough cutoff that I've never been flashed with high beams. They are 4k/10k lumen low/high beam bright.

I went the cheap route of replacing the headlights, fogs, drl, and turn signals with led bulbs. It was still a night and day difference from the stock halogens. The headlights have a pretty solid low beam cutoff and I have yet to have anyone flash me or anything. Turn signals worked fine, no hyper flash or anything like that either.

Yea I replaced my turn signals and DRL with LED and had no problems very bright now. Just pulled my stock Halogen Fog Lights and I just can't believe that they put that kind of cheap crap on a $45,000 truck just unbelievable.

Links below....

I read in another forum that there was some issues with the foglight bulbs just spraying light everywhere but it was fixed by capping the ends of the bulbs. I did this with electrical tape before installing and they work perfectly......

I’m happy to report I used the part numbers supplied above except for the headlight bulbs. I went with Trueland’s that seem pretty nice.

Forgot to mention night and day difference. No messages on dash. Plug and play.
