Greeting lighting gurus, I'm in need of clarification/education on my options for upgrading my front turn signals and DRLs.
I have a 2020 Sport, it has the max tow but it may or may not be important for this discussion. I've replaced the standard bulbs with LEDs and am happy with them but I'm also looking at other options for the future.

Before I started my research on the best DRL/Turn Signal upgrade, I thought all Gladiator fender lights were created equal. Now I see that isn't true and things have become more confusing. I will ask specific manufacturers and dealers but I wanted to get thoughts from all of you as well. I've seen some pretty cool variations but I'm having a hard time breaking down which one will fit. Okay, I understand that some of the fenders are different from model to model but when I go to a web site and it says " Fits Rubicon, Overland/Sahara, Moab, and the Gladiator with the Max Tow option (not Sport)." I get even more confused.

As I mentioned, I have a Sport with the Max Tow, so I guess it all boils down to one question: Does that mean I have a fender closer to a Sport or to one of the other models?

I wanted bright white DRL's and amber turn signals so I bought what are called switchback bulbs for mine. When the DRL's are on, they are bright white instead of amber. When you hit the turn signals, you get the amber flashing. Emergency lights will give you flashing amber on both sides.

They cost a little more, but I think they're worth it. Buy the ones with Canbus technology built in so that you don't need resistors.

Thanks for your input, I'll look into them. What I was mainly thinking of doing is to replace the entire turn signal/DRL/side marker assembly with something new. I've seen some pretty slick things with slit lights, sequential flashers, smoked lenses, etc. I'm just not sure what my options are given the fenders I have (I'm not looking to replace the fenders).
