New Jeepsteel.com tail lights installed!

Oh my… paint match was good maybe should have gone for textured powder coat. And they probably look great from 10 feet.

The steel option is intriguing.

I thought the bedsides were aluminum. ??‍

Maybe?? I'm not sure

Maybe?? I'm not sure

I had an 18 JLU with corrosion / paint issues on just about every panel. It's a huge issue on Wranglers. We might see issues pop up on the Gladiators. I would avoid any aftermarket steel parts touching the aluminum.

God dang. They eyeballs making these using a hand drill, angle grinder and 120v flux welder ?.

Props to OP for 1) posting the light pics in detail so everyone could see them, 2) knowing they weren't the best choice but going with them anyway cause well, he wanted to, and 3) for being a damn good sport during the discussion

Why would you want your 50k+ jeep to look like a crappy homemade cargo trailer. People are weird man.

I like mine. I guess it’s just me, but I like these more than Oracles. My Oracles are for sale right now as a matter of fact. But mine actually look good as far as fit and finish. Maybe it’s hit or miss? I don’t know.

I have a Tazer set to rear LEDs. No hyperflash on the dash, or warning lights.

Note to anyone who does like the look of these, and buys them though. You do need the resistor even if you had factory LEDs, or have set the Tazer to rear LEDs.

My buddy tried wiring his without the resistors and has both hyperflash on the dash and taillights out warning lights. Even though the taillights themselves are not hyperflashing, and are actually working.

So it looks like a Tazer is required for these.

Mine:

what rear bumper is that?

It doesn’t bear directly on the quality of the product, but the presence of myriad grammatical and spelling errors on their website is a distraction, at the very least.

"Hey goggle, how u spell resistor in english?" They at least deserve points for the try. Looks like bare metal on the back. Eventually the rust that spreads inside is going to migrate outside via the weld burn through...

Here they are! Install was pretty easy, ask me if you have any questions. Overall I'm happy with them but if you're a perfectionist I wouldn't recommend these to you. They have a "Home made" fit and finish. They're perfectly functional but uhhhh....well just check out the pictures lol

I like em as well. Did you need the tazer even with the resistors? I went to the site and it says they come with resistors. Not into buying a tazer.

Separate from the execution, I do like the look of the slimmer taillight housing being more flush with the bed. But I think it would look a lot better with the lens' being larger. Or the lens being the entirety of the back-facing surface, like the stock units.

Glad someone decided to try them ....and .... that it was not me.

They look like they’d be perfect on a trail buggy, not a $50k Jeep. LED trailer lights are perfect for a trail buggy. Cheap and simple to replace.
