This just contains the mounts. Lights are your own thing.

has anyone installed one of these and can provide feedback?
I may be wrong, but website suggest it comes with 4 adjustable pod lights already mounted.

I was curious how they wired in too and if anybody had any feedback on this roof rack as it piqued my interest.

I was under the impression this rack came with lights.
You all may be right. Unsure. The way it’s worded in the couple spots it’s mentioned it could go either way. Hopefully @MONOKING-Auto Parts can clarify for us.

Hi there!

Thank you so much for your interest in the MONOKING Jeep Gladiator JT Cargo Basket with Dual Ladders.

Regarding the lighting setup—Each of the 4 LED pod lights comes equipped with its own positive and negative pigtail wires. Please note that a full, vehicle-specific wiring harness (relay, fuse, and dash switch) is not included.

Combine the Wires:
Simply tie (parallel wire) all 4 positive wires together into one single positive lead, and all 4 negative wires together into one single negative lead.

Connect to Your Truck:

If your Gladiator has the factory AUX switch package:** You can run that combined single positive and negative line straight into your factory AUX control box under the hood and wire it right up.

If you don't have AUX switches: You can easily grab a standard aftermarket 12V 4-to-1 wiring harness. You can find these easily on Amazon, or just swing by a local AutoZone or O'Reilly Auto Parts store down the street. They usually cost around $15-$25 and come with the relay and dash switch you need.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. We appreciate your patience and look forward to helping you gear up your Gladiator!

Best,
George

Hi,

George here from MONOKING! I just wanted to jump in and clarify the product specs for this Gladiator JT cargo basket to clear up any confusion.

Contrary to the post above, this setup actually includes the 4 LED pod lights right in the box!

To give you the exact details on how it arrives:

What’s Included: You get the full cargo basket, dual side ladders, mounting brackets, and 4 high-output LED pod lights.

The Wiring Setup: Each LED pod light comes equipped with its own positive and negative pigtail wiring leads.

What You'll Need: A vehicle-specific wiring harness (relay, fuse, and dash switch) is not included.

If your Gladiator has the factory AUX switch package, you can simply tie the light leads together (parallel wiring) and run a single clean line straight into your factory AUX control box under the hood. If you don't have the factory AUX package, any standard aftermarket 12V 4-to-1 wiring harness (widely available on Amazon, AutoZone, or O'Reilly for around $15-$25) will do the trick perfectly.

It’s a 100% direct bolt-on install with no drilling required. For anyone who has already pulled the trigger on this setup, we’d love to hear your feedback and see some photos of it out on the trails!

Let me know if you guys have any technical questions about the fitment or modular design. Happy wheeling!

Best regards,
George

Hi guys,

George here from MONOKING! I just wanted to jump in and clear up some confusion regarding the product specs for our Gladiator JT cargo basket.

This setup **actually does include the 4 LED pod lights** right in the box!

Built from **heavy-duty, high-strength carbon steel**, this basket is engineered for serious trail abuse. Plus, the front panel features a **paintable stainless steel mountain-pattern cutout**—allowing you to easily color-match it or add a custom accent to perfectly match your Jeep's look!

Here is exactly what you get and how the wiring works:

* **What’s Included:** You get the high-strength carbon steel cargo basket, dual side ladders, heavy-duty mounting brackets, and all 4 high-output LED pod lights.
***The Wiring Setup:** Each LED pod light comes equipped with its own standard positive and negative pigtail wires (leads).
***What You'll Need:** A vehicle-specific wiring harness (relay, fuse, and dash switch) is *not* included.

Hooking up the lights is very straightforward:
1. **Combine the Wires:** Simply splice (parallel wire) all 4 positive wires together into one lead, and all 4 negative wires together into another.
2. **Hook It Up:**
***If you have the factory Jeep AUX switch package:** Run that single combined line straight to your factory AUX box under the hood and wire it right up.
***If you don't have AUX switches:** You can easily grab a standard 12V 4-to-1 light pod wiring harness on Amazon, or swing by a local AutoZone or O'Reilly Auto Parts down the street ($15-$25) to get the relay and toggle switch you need.

It’s a 100% direct bolt-on install with zero drilling required.
Let me know if you guys have any technical questions about fitment or the design.

Happy wheeling!

Best regards,
George
