I bought my 2023 Gladiator last fall it has halogen lighting.I would like to replace the headlight bulbs with LED bulbs. What bulbs would be a good plug and play alternative?

I tried this initially and while the bulbs were a 'little' brighter, the high beams didn't work at all. Plus, there's that little diffuser in front of the bulb that looks like a Jeep grill that hinders the light a bit.

I ended up going with full LED set up found on Amazon for around $245 (it's now less expensive) that also has the day time halo. MUCH better and the high beams also work properly. Really projects a lot of light down the road. Even the low beams throw more light down the road than the lame-o factory halogens.

Piecemeal of different companies with no loyalty to any. Success with all of them except the tail light blinker bulb. Hyperflash that required a resistor on each ($5.00). Did not use tazer/Jscan and I am sure they would have helped. I am due for my last TX state inspection and I think I may just replace with legitimate DOT leb light. Fully functional and even I think they are annoying.

OG halogen bulbs create an electrical resistance that led bulbs do not and this was the need for the resistor. Trick JT into thinking it was reg bulb. Might be one of the few things I learned in that electronics course. Oh, forgot to add, resistors will get HOT.

I have a 2024 sport looking for DRL’s and headlights….and am hearing I have to reprogram ECM to run LED’s…looking at Headlight Revolution there is no mention of that…any thoughts?
I have a 2021 Mojave and I ordered it without the LEDs on purpose because the LEDs are cheaper from Headlight Revolution
I did not have to use a taser or reprogram anything- just adjusted the height a tiny bit.
Have had them for over 3 years without any issues or problems.
