LED Conversion - Progress So Far

[Mad Jasper]

I finished the converting to LEDs on the front of fhe 24 Sport S.

Headlights - OEM with JScan Rerograming
Turn SignalsSide Markers - Morimoto with ballast
Fog Lights - Oracle LED with JScan Reprogramming

I also swapped out the silver bezels with gray bezels. I didn’t initially intend to go with the blacked out appearance but I’m liking it.

New taillights are in order.

I'd think you'd need to realign the headlights and fogs after installing, yes? Did you do the pull up in front of a wall on a level surface with chalk lines thing? For me, that's always the biggest PIA about changing from stock lighting.

Both needed adjustment. For both the headlights and fogs, I marked the halogen lines on the fence from 7’ out. After the LEDs were installed, I aligned them to match the halogen lines.

I also verified the headlight alignment by using this method.

I has to adjust the headlights a tad lower but it was pretty close. I installed the headlights two months ago and no one has flashed me yet.

Useful link, thanks! I've only ever aligned halogen lights. But aligning anything brings out my OC tendencies, so I avoid it when I can...

Did you buy used? I see the new style grill. I don’t understand this. Did you not realize how horrendous the non LED lights are? That I get. I learned my lesson on my 2008 JKU Rubicon and somehow they never improved them. I didn’t even consider one without the LED headlights.

Same. I dread to start some projects just because of my OC tendencies.

I bought it new. LEDs were preferred, but not a deal breaker once I knew it was simple to remediate. Every Sport S with LEDs that I found within a reasonable distance lacked the tow package. Adding a receiver is easy enough, not so much the other tow package features.

Your Jeep looks great. I’m doing my wife’s Gladiator. It is a royal PITA. It loos so much better. The light quality is so much better. Thanks for posting.

Ok cool. I was just curious. Yeah the alternator and cooling wouldn’t be as feasible. Plus, Jeep is uses so many different spring rates, it wouldn’t surprise me if the tow package (non max tow) had a different spring rate too.
