It’s required by law. I’d think if someone was trying to weasel out of rear ending you at night could perhaps do it with a good lawyer
What if you replace the bumper for one without the reflectors?? Pretty sure it isn’t a law to have reflectors on your bumper.

This isn’t legal advice but Jeep isn’t putting them for no reason. I’ve heard of cops or DOT officers complaining about amber lights being deleted but I personally have never heard anything about rear reflectors.

Hello all,
Doing some light upgrading and need some help!
Have a Gladiator Rubicon with halogen lights.

Buying some cheap headlights from Amazon, a lot of members on the JL forum have used similar with good luck.
These cost 215. and I don't have 500 to shell out for Oracle or more for stock.
FieryRed 9 inch LED Headlight.

Questions:
-Do I need to flash or tazer or whatever? Most what I read says plug n play so I'm hoping no?

-I want the halo's on at all times.
My current lights on fenders are that way, the headlight switch can be off or on auto and the lights on my fenders are always on.
Have read different ways of doing this but want simplest and rather not tap into any existing wires.
I've read run a wire to the fuse box and use the heated seat spot etc, but is there one for the fender lights that I could go to?
I also have the accessory package, and wouldn't mind using that, but would rather not have to hit the switch every time.

On a separate note, I would like to change those fender lights at some point soon but want to make sure this goes good first.
There are quite a few on amazon or Quake sells some, like the sequential type, most in the $200 range.
Anyone use any of these? Same question if I would need tazer etc

Thanks!!
Tom

I received and mostly installed my headlights. Will post pics if I get it finished!

So the headlights were 100 % plug n play. Super easy and work with no issues, No tazer etc needed.

I am stuck a bit on wiring the halos.
I am connecting to one of my aux switches.
Question is, should i be grounding this wire also?


It is currently hooked up and working without a ground connected, but I want to do what's right.
I first tried with a ground, and I blew a fuse for the aux 3 i'm using.
Not sure if I hit something or shouldn't be using a ground or what caused that, any ideas??

Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!!
