Halo headlights not on in Australia

[Maximus the gladiator]

So just picked up my new gladiator launch in firecracker red love it so cool. As most ave mentioned the exported version has the lower gender guards disappointing smaller tyres no biggie as I have other wheels and tyres. But the biggest disappointment is the halo on the led headlights isn’t on and doesn’t seem like it can be. It looks like the actual halo is built into the headlight but...... ‍ This seems like a stupid thing to not have many other cars have them. Very disappointed on the halo. Anybody know more and can they be wired up? Is the actual led halo there just not wired?

thanks everyone

Are you sure yours has the LED package? the base option is actually halogen bulbs without the halo.

you will find the Aus Spec LED is more powerful than the US variant, and even though it has not halo it certainly kicks ass a standard light

Not sure if Aussie version is same but try looking in the uconnect setting under lighting. Ours has an option to turn the DRL (daytime running lights) on/off. Believe they need to be set on for the halos to illuminate.

Yes it’s a launch edition top of the range full led lights

Yeah apparently no halo on the exported versions even too spec

Thats interesting the lights are that different of a spec in AUS. Then again the halogen ones here are so bad they shouldn't be legal.

Correct we got 32.2 and the low fenders from the other models

I’ve still put 35” tyres on with no lift and they fit no scrub street driving. 2.5” leveling kit goes in tomorrow before the dirt.

Would you mind posting before and after pic from various angles please. I have to say I like the general shape of the Aussie fenders around the lights. I especially like the flare off the side and the sunken look of the light.
