So I’m sure there is a thread on here somewhere about this, and if you have a link that would great. But I wanted to ask if you guys if you bought any of the Amazon or eBay tail light options and how they were? I have a sport S and am replacing the hologens. Let me know what you guys have gone with and how you like them. Thanks as always !

i'm not sure what qualifies as budget, but this is what i went with:

Gladiator LED Taillights W/Bk Housing/Smoked Lens Pair Jeep JT 2020-2023 (cjponyparts.com)

Based on a quick amazon search they seem to appear under the brand names nixon, roxx, autofree, winjet, AND wolfstorm, and all for the same price. That screams "cheap chinese shit" to me. The box that showed up at my house from CJponyparts was completely unbranded, so that only reinforces that story.

But, i like the look of them and haven't had an issue in over a year so who knows? I do keep my factory lights in a box in the basement though... can never be too careful.

Thanks Jim! Those look pretty sweet to me….I guess I should have specified budget but i guess I should have said the best ones for the price wether those are the oracles the factory LEDs or some like yours

I simply put LED lamps in the stock tail lights.
Didn't change the looks (obviously,) but no more hot filaments.

Just not as much fun replacing parts when you have to........

I would avoid AMAZON and eBay when it comes to buying products that relate to safety. LED tail lights and headlamps if not engineered with high quality LED's and other parts can give you grief. How long they last. How consistent the light output is. Are all of the LED's in a tail light still working or have a few gone dim or dark.

And do they visibly pulse, even if they claim to have provided for that possibility when used in a CANBUS equipped vehicle. Which you will have with your Gladiator and all other modern vehicles in the US.

While there are some reputable dealers selling products on AMAZON and eBay, I would recommend you actually purchased from the well-known suppliers. You will often find the price and however shipping is handled, will be less than what buying through AMAZON - if your absolutely sure it is the same brand and model.




So I’m sure there is a thread on here somewhere about this, and if you have a link that would great. But I wanted to ask if you guys if you bought any of the Amazon or eBay tail light options and how they were? I have a sport S and am replacing the hologens. Let me know what you guys have gone with and how you like them. Thanks as always !
