FYI a sport reverse bulb is a 921 , front DRl/turn is a 7443 and rear turn / brake is a 7443

I've noticed recently that my low beam and high beam has very little difference in brightness. Only thing I am seeing is that well when on high beam the patter is shooting much higher

I'll have to check mine. To be honest I haven't found the need to use the high beams with mine, don't think I have had them on since I swapped out the bulbs. I normally use the lights on my bumper if I need more light on back roads which is probably over kill but I can see everything going on around me. I hope mine are ok though because I really want these bulbs to last so I don't have to change out the whole light.

I haven't really used the high beams either since I swapped. I have had no issues and was recently on a trip hauling some stuff to south Texas and traveling at night. I was getting flashed a good bit and then would switch over to high beam and noticed there wasn't much difference. I haven't gotten flashed at all since I changed them over and have done a lot of night driving. Was thinking maybe because I was hauling stuff in my truck it angled my front up some causing the lights to shoot higher. Funny thing was the folks who seemed to be flashing me the most on the trip were people who themselves had very bright LED lights

That seems to be the case with me also. When I get flashed it's always from that dude who's blinding me. Honestly I've driven at my jeep in my BMW 440i which sits significantly lower and don't see any issues with them blinding.

Well, I put LEDs in mine before I saw this thread, and I used:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VNQ646S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Back-up lights (VERY bright!) BEWARE! the owner's manual listing for back-up lamps is WRONG!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CMN3NL2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Headlights. Just did over 200 miles at night, and not one flash from oncoming traffic.
The pattern is a little higher than the halogens, but still a clean cut-off on low beam. The fill is much better, and the high beam goes much farther. The biggest difference is the overlap between high/low & low/high is gone.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CXV52MD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fog lights. Again, the pattern is a bit higher than the halogens, but not enough to be a problem, and the near-in illumination is much better.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W7HVS57/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
What the manual said to use for back-up lights. I put these in the tail lights, and they're not much different than the stock bulbs.

Did you have to use the tazer to tell the truck had LED's or do you have any bulb out messages?

No changes made, no reported outages: everything works fine.
Frankly, I expected some issues, but nothing went sideways.

Thanks for the report. Appreciate it!

Love to see pictures of the beam pattern. I had tried a set of those Sealights on my JKU and the pattern wasn't so hot but that was a few years ago

I'll see if I can get some soon.
5" of snow and temperatures in the teens are limiting my outdoor activities this weekend!

Here's a start...

As a caution I did this upgrade. This morning we had a minor and by that less than 1/2" snow fall, and after a 3 mile drive home they housing was completely caked with snow. If you live in a climate with snow this option will not work in winter conditions.

Luckily I still have the factory halogens and can swap them back. Hoping this solves the issue as I can't believe jeep would build a factory unit that you cannot drive in the snow.
