Headlight Upgrade for Sport S W/ Max Tow

[Jpeazy21]

Mine are 7" with the bracket you cannot even tell.

What fog lights are those? Are they plug n play?

Diode Dynamics, and yes they are plug and play, and dramatically improve night time vision when running LED headlights.

Thanks.

DiodeDynamics fogs here, too - very well made, good wiring harness, connectors, etc. Good fit, look nice. Solid feeling lights.

Just wanted to post my recent experience here to add to the collection of ideas/opinions. I have read and respect opinions that say "you can't just add LED bulbs......[insert reasons why] the ONLY way to do it right is to buy full LED headlights". For $35 or so I added Beamtech LED bulbs. I also re-aimed/verified the aim of my headlights while I was at it. My notes:

1. I am not blinding anyone at all despite all of the claims that would happen. In fact, I was getting flashed frequently (several times every time I drove at night) with my halogens as my 1.5" Terflex leveling kit had caused them to aim far too high (I had intended to re-aim them after the leveling kit but had some major life events, and totally fogot to). I have not been flashed even once in the three weeks since the install.

2. Is the beam pattern 100% "best of the best" perfect as it would be with a full LED headlight? - No, it is not. Is it at least as precise/well "cut-off" as my halogens - yes, to my casual eye and a few of the guys in my neighborhood we essentially could not tell any significant differences between the cutoff and overall beam pattern of the halogens versus LED bulbs when compared before/after the bulb swap.

3. Are they brighter and is visibility greatly improved? - Absolutely! Amazing improvement for $35.

4. Will they last as long as full LED headlights? - TBD, but even if I end up paying $35 every 1.5 - 2 years I would still rather go this route as I simply don't have the funds to purchase full LED headlights.


Note: not trying to argue with anyone or open a fresh debate. Just sharing an opinion/perspective from a person on a budget looking to improve my forward lighting.

If anyone is here and in the market for awesome-looking headlights, we have some great plug and play ones from Rough Country.

My experience and thoughts are the same as yours. I have yet to be flashed a single time running beamtechs, though you definitely need to aim them down a bit after swapping them for the OEM halogens. I'm also the type of driver that gets seriously annoyed by people who run lights that blind others, so if I felt at all I was they'd be gone immediately. I'm on year 2, they're still working great.

What beamtech part number do you have?

What beamtech part number do you have?

I just went with the basic ones without the fan.....these:

Edit to add - they did flicker a tiny bit until I used jscan to change the setting to led for the low and high beams.

I just installed the Beamtech H13's in my JT and they work great. No Tazer needed. The DRL's plugged right in, but in my case the Fog Lamp or Driving Lamp replacements did not .. the Fog Lamp bulbs have alignment ribs for both the lamp housing and the OEM plug. Once I stared at them for a minute or two I opted to shave off the offending ribs that did not align with an Exacto Blade and that fixed the issue. Once the new bulbs fit the housing and plug they worked perfectly. I found this issue reported online with other H16 bulbs ... so it's not just a Beamtech thing. The LEDS work great with the Jeep Halogen reflectors ... good cut off, just make sure you have them adjusted properly.

Cool! Mine are still going strong and in my opinion the bang for the buck is really there with these. Major improvement for a very reasonable price. After adjusting my headlights down a touch I have not beeen flashed once in almost a year now.

I upgraded my Rubicon factory headlights and foglights to SV.4 LED bulbs from Headlight Revolution. Plug and play (includes necessary driver/module), no issues so far after a month. Huge improvement over stock. Still need to figure out something simple for my DRL.

How have they held up?

How have they held up?

I had no issues with them. I traded in my Gladiator a few months ago for a 392 though.

My beamtech headlights are nice BUT i get a flicker in them. Kind of sucks but they are much better then the factory Hologen even with the flicker.

He beamtech fogs are solid though. No issues at all.

How have they held up?

Ive had my sv4 in for nearly 100k miles and 3.5ish years. No issues at all
