Someone, please make a video! Thank you for pioneering this. I didn't want to drop a grand and i didn't want my JT all gussied up but i can definitely see doing this on the headlights for the price i'm seeing on amazon. Don't want to fry my circuits, though!
I think 3-4 of us put these in in the last couple days (two of us today)...I will report back when it gets a couple days of use.

Less, which is why they may work without it, but...you should use the Tazer programmer to activate the "LED" option in the vehicle computer. LED bulbs will run more efficiently and will provide better service life if you do this.
Good idea of changing the programming. I didn't think of that. I have the full SuperChips module...so that should be an easy tweak.

This is what I figured. Very cool that you can change the resistance to the LEDs through settings. I was afraid you may need to solder a resistor inline. (Or hoping that the LED manufacturer anticipated this and already took care of it)

what is the "full SuperChips" module? a particular package or upgrade option on the JT?

You won't be disappointed. The Supernova V.4s are the best bulbs you can buy right now. And I can confirm that they are clocked properly right out of the box to work with the Jeep reflectors. Some "cheaper" LEDs may need to be clocked.

I'd put this beam pattern and light output up against the factory LED option 7 days a week and twice on Sunday.

Supernova low beams: Just look at that razor sharp cutoff.

Supernova fogs: Brighter than the noon day sun.

Screw Jeep's $1,000 package. These blow it out of the water.

Which bulbs did you buy @WXman? Sorry I may have missed your recommendation.

I will as well. The supernova fogs will be here Tuesday. So then I can do, heads only, fogs only and both on to show differences.

Does anyone have a picture from the driver's seat at night on a pitch black straight road? Low and high beam

Not to be a spoilsport but putting LED bulbs in a reflector designed for halogens seems like a terrible idea
