My 2012 JK has a issue wth blowing out headlights. It does have a Rally light harness, so the lights run off the battery. It does make them much brighter, but with the high voltage that my JK puts out when running might be the issue. It has always done this, and the stealership said it was in spec. I was wondering if any one is running LED bulbs. Not LED headlights, just the bulbs. I am not going to spend that kind of money on Headlight for a JK. I might for one of my Real Cherokees, but not for the WRONGLER.

 

sell your "wrongler" and driver one of your cherokee's. done.

 

LED bulbs are generally just garbage and will fail at any time.

 

Perfect answer.

I'm curious how many pairs of garbage bulbs you're willing to buy before you buy a nice set of headlights and be done with it?

Also curious, what's the difference between a Real Cherokee and a not real Cherokee?

 

OK so I take it the LED bulbs are not a good idea. I did buy a 94 2dr XJ to replace the JK. Just going to put a lift on her with tires and gears. I really don't want to spend any more big dollars on the JK. I thought I wanted a new vehicle, but I was wrong. Too many electronic glitches over the few years I have owned it.

 

Probably the only way to make things work properly will be truck lights/JW or HID projector system. Don't think there is a cheap way around it. I dive mine daily so it's worth it being able to see in the dark.

 

The problem with throwing a random LED into the factory housing is that the reflectors aren't designed to disperse the light for an LED light, and that is crucial to getting the benefit of one.

 

I don't have the stock housings. I have IPF e-code glass housings. I understand that the LED bulbs are a bad idea. I have just put an extra set of bulbs in my glove box. Thanks

 

Hey Ryan what headlights do you recommend? I do not want Halos or blackout looking type I just want brighter to see at night. I want the traditional silver looking like stock but with the LED brightness that are D.O.T. approved.

Any input would be great.

 

I'm currently running the Trucklite LED's and been happy with them. They are more traditional looking than many LED's and have a split lense and give great light output.

I ran the IPF H4's on my last JK, and the were a nice inexpensive upgrade for a non LED light, and still had a nice white light color.
