Why do the headlights say they don't fit the gladiator?
I see it with a lot of bulb manufacturers. I think it it’s because the Gladiator is new. Just verify the bulb type is correct.

I installed the MasterTop Bimini and it was pretty painless and definitely easier to remove and install than the Bestop one I bought

Housings are specific to the nature of the light/bulbs. Daniel Stern Lighting use to have some technical details on it.
Science be damned.

And why not? Builds are always replaced and often upgraded.
Is there something more we should be aware of?
Ill stick to willful ignorance on this one. I love how much better my headlight revolution inserts are over the stock halogens and dont care to make any changes to them anymore. science can stfu on this one! Ill stay cheap and happy

Exactly

You're probably getting less usable lumens traveling down the road and increasing glare for oncoming drivers

Post up your cutoffs on a wall and it'll show why Jeep (and every other manufacturer) uses different housings for LED bulbs

There's great alternatives to the OEM LED option, like the Oracle replacement housing that'll correctly send your lumens down the road with the proper cutoffs to not blind oncoming traffic.

This makes sense. Thanks.

Months ago I tried to explain a couple of the JT colors to my wife - all we have ever seen around here are red, white, blue, and I think a gray. She sort of frowned, "I don't think I'd like that".
Obviously words aren't the same as seeing - she saw one a few weeks back and said "that's sort of a neat color, what's that one?"
