Default Truck Lites, baby!

Finally bought and installed some Truck Lites LED headlights. Marcus at River City Offroad handled up on this at a great price! He never let's me down. These bitches are bright and extremely well made. I like that they're made in the USA and under $400 with the adapter harnesses. Goodbye lame stock lights.

They are truly amazing. I've had mine a year, and I can't believe I lived without them as long as I did.

This was the very first mod I did to my '15. These should come standard on them. Great upgrade for the money.

Had one of our after markets blink out the other day on the way home... Living in BFE like we do the Rigids lit the way but it is time to make the leap to Trucklites so thanks for the positive comments. Can't wait to get 'em installed.

Super easy install. Took longer to remove the grill than to install the lights.

Love mine...

2 notes -
1. Make sure you plug the anti-flicker harness in good and tight. They can come loose if not pushed on tightly.
2. Be sure to adjust them if you have a lifted Jeep or you will not make friends on the road. Simple adjustment screw and point the Jeep to a fixed object (i.e., your garage door) and aim them to no higher than 3.5 feet.

Very good point on both, My wife said that one of the lights had gone out. I was freaking out thinking $400.00 and this is what I get, but turned out the harness was loose

I have had mine over 2 years and 40,000 miles and still working perfectly. I was lucky as I never had the flicker that some are plagued with. I have had the same set on 2 different wranglers a 13 and now a 14. Make sure you take the time to aim them properly not only vertically but also horizontally so you don't have the dreaded X that people complain about. It takes time to adjust them and you need to do it at night so you can see the beam pattern. You will need to use shims or get replacement adjustment screws for the horizontal adjustment.

The biggest thing you need to is Apply Die electric Grease.
