So I am planning to replace my exterior (non headlight) incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs in the OEM incandescent housings. I plan to use a programmer to set the light settings to LED.

I would like to know what LED replacement bulbs folks here have used with good results with respect to:
1.) Proper fit in the housing and the bulb socket,
2.) Good brightness and light dispersion,
3.) Electrically durable, and
4.) Play well with the Jeep's electrical system. (No error codes or hyper flashing.)

Following, I've read some reviews on this forum as I've been looking for the same.
https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...-bulbs-in-halogen-housing.79175/#post-1290715
The common problem/reviews I've read from the less expensive options in the link is they do not last very long. No error codes though which is good. But I'm not looking to spend a lot for something I really don't need. ;)

For me, I've moved on from LEDs and am looking for a better halogen bulbs now.

I've had good luck with a brighter & whiter Sylvania Silverstar headlight bulbs (I know you said no headlights) but I'm very happy with them. I've been looking for the same brand for my fogs, DRLs & turn signal bulbs. Haven't found anything specifically online yet. I may go into an Auto Part store and look for myself

Did you have to re-aim your headlights after installing these? Do people flash you thinking your brights are on?

I did re-aim them myself. I don't have any issues with oncoming traffic. Or rearview mirrors.

I have these in mine:

Beamtech H13 (Click Here)

They have been in for two and a half years.

One of them is a little noisy sometimes. Sounds like fan motor may have dirt in it / is going out. The lights themselves work fine.

I re-adjusted my headlights to account for both my front leveling kit and the LED bulbs.

They do not flicker, the truck does not throw any errors, or act erratically.

Beam pattern looks 'nice'. Not as nice as factory LED, but no artifacts, terribly wonky lines, etc.

It is very rare that I am flashed by other drivers.

I have driven my SS Camaro without window tint in front of my truck, at night, and I did not find my headlights to be as bothersome as, say, any new pickup with factory LED lighting.

This is all subjective, do at your own risk, etc...

Besides - if you don't like it ship them back to Amazon :LOL:

The above is specific to LED replacement bulbs installed in the OEM halogen headlights, although may also apply to foglights.

I am asking about LEDs in the DRLs, turn signals, tail lights, and brake lights.
Running for 3 yrs Oracle LED tails.. Oracle LED B/up inserts.. Diode Dy Elite LED Driving Lights complete plug and play.. and have in hand the SL2s to replace the PUTCO LEDs that have been in for 3 yrrs.. Will need Jscan to re-program all for LED from Halogen.. Just turned off the Daytimes with the Radio Set up.

That’s one issue I don’t need to address. My Sport S came with the rear cross traffic alert and side alert. So every light is LED except the headlights! That I’ve transplanted some modest LED’s I paid under $80 for. That work extremely well, especially with high beams on. With proper insulation with elements facing side to side and lowered a few inches at 30’ so cutoff is at the bottom of the tape, that after running like that after the sun goes down by 5:30? I’ve never been flashed. Now I want to replace the DRL and front turn signals. The fog lights are ok being dim, so they don’t glare against the fog, but show me exactly where the fog lines on the road!
