It is illegal but ......... it's still coolI was wondering the same thing. Technically…. it’s illegal to have fog lights on with high beams, and illegal to have driving lights on with low beams.
At least, here in PA. The fogs automatically turn off when the high beams are on.
I have a Tazer…so I was curious myself.
It's sort of pieced together. A Frankenlift. I started out with a Rough Country 3.5" Mojave lift, mainly for the shock extensions, springs, track bar, and sway bar links. I add the RockJocks carrier bearing spacer and Core 4x4 Crawl control arms with the Johnny Joints. Then I added a 3/4" Daystar rear spacer to lift the rear just a little. Right now, I'm looking at track bars because my spare won't fit under the bed. Probably going to do Clayton OR front and rear. Then I'm thinking I'll probably revisit my springs, maybe synergy.
Long range fogs? That’s like saying jumbo shrimp! The original design of a fog light was to try an illuminate the fog lines along side each lane as their tech name suggests. With a low cutoff to prevent the moisture in fog from glaring back at you. There are fog lights and driving lights! Back in the late 70’s Cibie made what they called Bi-Oscar’s, that were separate mounted like an aftermarket light should be, at 8” in diameter, but had two lights in one housing, a fog on top and driving lights on the bottom. That you could run together or separate as suggested because they explained the above. I like to use my fog lights to help see into dark corners a bit more than without, in thick Florida fog the stock halogen fogs do a fine job illuminating the lines.
agreed, very minimal difference between low and HIGHMy JT has the stock LED headlights. The low beams are nice and bright, but the high beams don't seem to make much difference. Maybe that is due to the fact that the low beams are so bright. Are the high beams a separate light inside the housing? Is there a way to make them brighter? I have already changed the setting to allow the fog lights to stay on when the high beams are on, but I just really would like the high beams to be a little brighter.
Welcome back!
That’s definitely not true. Mine are incredible and I’ve had lots of German luxury LED and HID and they are very comparable. Anyone who says otherwise has improperly aimed lights, is lifted way up in the sky, or has something malfunctioning. I’m sorry you aren’t having the results you should.
I’ve driven budget-friendly vehicles with HID and LED headlights and they don’t light up the trees above me while my gladiator does. I’m not talking about the beam. That’s adjusted to be at the right angle/height. I’m talking about excess glare. The results I’m experiencing are my own AND other jeeps (not lifted) that are approaching me.
Trust me - the stock LED high beams are BLINDING as hell to other drivers! They are just fine if properly aimed.My JT has the stock LED headlights.

Mine literally don’t do that. I’ve always loved the sharp cut off. One of the best I’ve had.
I’ve never once been high beamed and I’ve driven a low sedan in front of my Jeep and they don’t shine in. They’re great when properly aimed.
OK, I sense a movie reference here.
There’s a sharp cutoff. There’s also a lot of spill light that shines up to the trees. Yes I have a perfect line but pointed at a wall I can see everything above that line including taller trees. Again, this lights spill a lot of light vertically above the main beam.
