Yes, the beamtechs you've linked are the ones I have. They definitely fit. I saw the same message from amazon, but I got the link from a youtube dude so I trusted they would fit.
Welt maybe the 2022 is different, but none of the standard h13/9008 replacement bulbs hit the stock 2022 jeep glad. The standard plug on the 22 is a 6pin plug. The h13/9008 is a 3 pin plug.( I have a pic of it).

Not sure what type of plug the standard 6 pin jeep halogen is but deff not the h13 one.

You're trying to plug the bulb into the wrong plug. The plug for the bulb is inside of the headlight behind the dust cap, plugged into the halogen H13 bulb that is already there.

o man you know some times when you just want to take something back. This is one of those times. If I only opened the dust cap !!! There is a joke in that first line, but not sure if I should say it lol

Thanks for the assist and I get the dump a** award for this one!

I just installed the Beamtech H13's in my JT and they work great. No Tazer needed. The DRL's plugged right in, but in my case the Fog Lamp or Driving Lamp replacements did not .. the Fog Lamp bulbs have alignment ribs for both the lamp housing and the OEM plug. Once I stared at them for a minute or two I opted to shave off the offending ribs that did not align with an Exacto Blade and that fixed the issue. Once the new bulbs fit the housing and plug they worked perfectly. I found this issue reported online with other H16 bulbs ... so it's not just a Beamtech thing. The LEDS work great with the Jeep Halogen reflectors ... good cut off, just make sure you have them adjusted properly.

I got the same ones and wow what a difference. I like the look of the halo reflectors. My next lights are also the fogs lights and DRL's so thanks for the heads and posting about them!

BICYACO 9 Inch LED Headlights with DRL Compatible with 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Jeep Wrangler JL JLU Gladiator JT SUV 120W Headlamps Replacement with Daytime Running Lights High Low Beam Adjustable https://a.co/d/cQtqSSq

…and the cutoff is more defined, and the light output more uniform.

Are you still happy with the Bicyaco 9"? I am thinking about picking these up now. My LED bulbs are getting annoying with no high beams and the beam pattern is all over the place. Not a bad deal at 200 and look pretty decent.

I’ve been satisfied.
They suffer the same failing as (most) all JT LED headlights: snow and ice buildup.
And there’s a dead spot directly in front of the Jeep, but the fog lights fill it nicely if you so desire.

Rough Country sells a nice 9” LED for the JL/JT with/without halo for approx. $500. @blnewt will tell you to watch eBay for the scratch and dents that come up once in awhile for half price. That is a great bang for your buck in the $250 range. There are plenty of threads in the JL and even here on the JT forum for more info.

My question is... When people Just swap bulbs from halogen to LED, and then swear by it... If it's that good why don't manufactures do it from the factory from a safety standpoint? Keep the led package for the fancy housing at a premium price but lower packages Just have LED bulbs? Only thing I can think of is they don't meet DOT/SAE requirements.

For me, It was like night and day difference and big difference in price. Plus I like halo lights with the jeep emblem in them. to compare, it was like saving 300 that I could spend on other jeep upgrades.

I understand to a point. My jeep didn't come with led headlights, but I figured if I can buy a 450 bumper for looks, why can't I spend 550 for lights (safety)? I bought overtread skyline headlights (560 when I bought them last year) and couldn't be much happier. They are DOT/SAE approved and not the cost of new OE. yes they cost more than bulbs but I know that I'm not blinding oncoming traffic. There's a reason manufactures don't put LED bulbs in low beams without a projector. Not sure what it is.. But there's a reason.

If you install them properly and adjust them then you dont blind people. Far as why they dont install them in the factory that way, well I have my own theory on that that I am not really going to get in to but, if you think of the business side of it then your on target. Either way your happy spending 560 and I am happy with spending 40. Two different looks two different tastes.
