Factory headlights to Warrior Series LEDs

[Ornstein]

I finally decided to upgrade the factory headlights on my Gladiator (Sport) to LED. I purchased 9-Inch Warrior Series LED Halo Headlights with Halo Fog Lights. From LED factory. the directions are completely useless that came with them and I every video I have seen has not really told me the proper wire colors, for the turning light and running light in the Warrior lights, or where to vampire into them. I tried trial and error but obviously failed.

I know the Light Blue wire is the turning light and the White wire is for the running light on the Warrior headlights. If anyone could help with where to vampire them into and where I would appreciate it.

I put the same lights on my ‘22 Overland earlier this year. I love them but they were a pain to wire. I ended up using this T harness off Amazon (Upgraded 97109-0925 Daytime Running Light DRL Adapter Wiring Harness Fits for Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT 2018-2023… https://a.co/d/6Ffka5i). It is identical to the one Quadratec sells, but I didn’t want to wait for it to be in stock. Quadratec has a video where their guy shows you how to splice the harness to get the DRL etc. (look at about the 2:20 mark) ()

After following all the harness instructions and the simple LFM instructions, I still couldn’t get the halo to stay on all the time. I could get it to run with the DRL, but then not at night, or vis-versa. I ended up wiring both harness pig tails to the halo/Drl wire from the light. To get the fog halo to work I just spliced into that same wire I ran to the headlights. They’ve worked great for about 4 months now. Hope this helps!

Like a year in now are you liking them, still? How do they compare to the Halogens? I'm between these and the Diode Dynamics Elite Max. Not sure i need to spend 1k on headlights, though

I was right where you’re at. I really liked the Diode Dynamics, but couldn’t justify the price at the time. I think the DD lights are probably better lights, and will likely be more plug-n-play with the DRL. But, I still love these warrior lights. I get compliments on them all the time and I like having something that no one else has. They are so much brighter than the stock halogens and am glad I made the switch. A year in I haven’t had any problems with them (knock on wood). I think my only complaints would be that sometimes I’m not sure the switchback function for the turn signal is in complete sync with my sequential turn signal light, but really its so minor that I don’t notice it all the time and it’s not enough for me to do anything different. And the other is that I have t noticed much difference between the high and low beam, but that may be due to my headlights being aimed slightly high (I’ve corrected the aiming but haven’t tested the high beams to see if it made a difference). For the money, I’m super happy with them.

That's good to hear! Glad they're still working a year in. Does it have the Halo around the lights when in DRL mode? I can't tell from the photos if that is the case or not.

I'm not as concerned about the high beam, just because anything is likely better than the stock halogens lol. I'll likely just get some pods to supplement whenever I start getting lights or need more for whatever reason.

There isn’t your normal halo around the light, but rather the Y shape in the middle. The DRL light is the 3 white triangles, the red triangles, and the Y shape. The only difference between DRL and st night is the actual headlight in the center is in. Here’s a couple zoomed in pics to help.

Gotcha! I like those red triangles, they don’t really show that in photos on their website. I may have to go with these they’re nice looking!

So, I ordered mine. How did you wire your DRL and turn signal? I’m not seeing the things they have in their little graphic to get those to hook up

Sweet, congrats! I don’t know what the graphic looks like now, but it was a little tricky to figure out. See this post #2 above where I go through how I wired them in.

Wow, I should have looked a little higher. Thanks for posting that! I'll be buying that T-harness then so I can get everything up and working
