Mis-matched lighting

[sgtmajor138]

I just purchased a 2021 Gladiator used. Love it! The odd thing is, it has LED lights in the rear and Halogen headlights up front. I'm sure it has something to do with a package it came with. Does anyone have any experience with changing out the headlights on a setup like this? Can I put a set of 9" aftermarket Halos and plug and play? Since it already has LEDs in the rear and is set up for DRLs, would there be any "programming" needed? I thought about just changing the bulbs, but I really want a the halos.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thats odd. I was under the impression you got the entire light package either halogen/bulb or LED, not mixed. Perhaps toss your VIN in here and see if it states LED tail lights:

The safety package gives you rear LED lights only. And if you don't the LED Package, then you're stuck with halogens up front. That's how you end up mismatch.

If your looking for plug and play headlights, I invite you to look at our ORACLE Lighting OCULUS Headlights. They are true plug and play and many forum members are satisfied with the output and ease of installation!

We also have CYBER15 code live today, for additional discounts.

My Gladiator is a 21 80th Anniversary Edition and came with LED tails with halogen headlights. I installed the Oracle Oculus headlights. Easy install plug and play no programming necessary. Also, put out a very brite precise light. Have had them installed over a year now and very happy with the lights.

Supposedly in 2021 jeep started having the halo wire in the headlight harness from the factory. If you have 4 wires the stock LED lights are plug and play. If not the Halo won't work unless you wire it up.

I just bought a used Mojave that came with the same specs. Previous owner put Oracle lights on it and they are pretty great. I do like the look of the OEM housing more, but the Oracle beams are very good.

The halos /DRL lights I used are plug and play but have a wire that you run to the fuse panel, I used #45 slot which is for the cigarette lighter. I also had the halogens up front and the LEDs in the back, the fender and fog lights were just direct replacement from halogen to LED.

It's true. I just wired up some SS5's and wanted the backlights to come on when the halos did. I searched around and found some information:

I confirmed that pin #5, labeled as "RIGHT FRONT PARK LAMP DRIVER" is the feed to the halo, which is a misleading label to me.

It's the beige (almost orange) wire with the orange stripe (looks pink here)

Basically, it's a 12V ignition-switched lead.

Also, it is separately controlled by the BCM, in the C1 harness, also Pin #5 incidentally:

So, if you don't have factory halos with the 4-pin harness, you could always hack the BCM harness and tap into these leads (PIN 5 for passenger, PIN 7 for driver), then use Tazer or JScan to enable these outputs. There are detailed write-ups on the JL forum on how to tap into these BCM outputs.
