The factory LED taillights were still working, with no known issues, on my first Gladiator at 4.5 years when I traded it in.

I’ve been running LOYO headlights for a couple years now no issues. I have the 7” dragon eye version that comes with a mounting bracket for the JT.

However they do make a 9” headlight that will be more flush with the Gladiator grill. This is the one I would go with personally if I bought new ones today - $340 with the sale going on. Also, customer service is great.

I put LEDs in place of the original bulbs after I had one die. They are brighter, I had to change the setting to LED to stop the hyperflashing.

Unfortunately this happens often... I'm guilty of it too, but I've been trying to get better. It's not much help, but I have factory LED taillights on my 80th Anniversary without issue. Can you retrofit yours with factory LEDs?

I say watch the classifieds and marketplace in your area for some cheap oem leds. I put my factory leds tailights on recently after my aftermarket set failed after a couple of years. Iam so glad I kept them!

I had oracle flush mount taillights that failed right after the warranty period ended. Ended up buying rugged ridge led tails and so far so good, one year later. Originally sport s halogen tails.

It is easy to swap out taillights. my gripe was with aftermarket led taillights failing. Yes I could buy the Mopar ones.

Yup….. I also had the Orical flush tail lights. One would slowly fluctuate from bright to dim. And the back up light kit for the rear bumper would barely work with it when using the easy adapter harness. Went back to the OEM halogen. Same thing with after market LED head lights. Maybe there’s some type of program or electronic factory setting that needs to be initiated to make it work with LEDs.

You might need to use some sort of programmer to change halogen to LED and remove resistors.

My comment was to the taillights. Other than maybe Oracle, I have not really found a taillight that I like that I feel comfortable with. I had a loaner JT Freedom Edition that had OEM taillights with LEDs that were the same as my OEM halogens. So I went and bought LEDs to swap out with my bulbs.

My bad Rocksalt. LOYO also makes a nice tailight that I’ve been running for 2 years or so. One of them did die recently though, and they sent me a single replacement at a discounted price. They also expedited shipping which was nice.

I didn’t use any fasteners at all for the install. I only popped them in with the clips, but they’ve never fallen out or anything like that.

My only gripe with these is that I‘m not sure if the reverse light bulb can be replaced for a brighter one. It’s definitely still an upgrade from the stock reverse light brightness though.

I ended up going back to my oem halogen tailights... if a bulb goes out, easy to replace. Now I just need to fix my door wiring pin so my power mirrors work lol.
