Hi, I'm Ryan from Extreme Terrain, and today, I'm here with LiteDots LED tail lights for

your '86 to '06 Wrangler YJ and TJ.

These are gonna be for anyone that are looking to upgrade or replace your stock tail lights

with an LED option that's completely unlike the stock look.

These are an all-in-one light, so they're gonna include the parking, stop, and turn

signal functions, as well as reverse in a bright sharp LED, which is gonna allow for

safer driving at night.

These are a relatively easy install, however you will have to do some wiring to power them

up.

Currently these are the only round option we have on the site, and are middle-of-the-road

as far as price goes at around $200.

As far as install goes, I'm gonna give these a two out of three, since you can install

these in under two hours using simple hand tools.

With that being said, let's hop in to the install.

First step to this installation, we'll need to remove the lenses.

There's gonna be four screws.

We're gonna use a Phillips head screwdriver.

So now that we have the lens off, we're gonna remove the three screws inside of here that

hold this on.

We're gonna use a T30 torques.

If you have a different model, you may have a hex head bolt or some other size, if it

was replaced before.

So now, we're gonna pull this plug out, then we'll unplug the light, and get ready to cut

this plug off.

We're gonna do the same thing for the other side.

So now, to remove the light, we're gonna use a 10 millimeter to remove the 3 factory bolts.

So we have our stock tail light uninstalled, we're just about ready to install our new

tail light.

However, I just want to take a few seconds to go over some of the features.

Now, the first thing to point out is this is round, not only is this round, but it's

an LED conversion.

So it's gonna be shock and vibration proof, not only that, but it's made of high-impact

polycarbonate, which is gonna withstand to those impacts on the trail, and it's gonna

maintain full transparency even in direct sunlight.

Now, when this light is off and not lit, it's gonna maintain the black look, so it's gonna

give you a real sleek appearance on your Jeep.

Not only that, but it's much smaller than the stock one, so it's not gonna stick out

as far, running the risk of hitting obstacles on the trail.

Now, these are LED, so they're gonna be much brighter than stock, which is just gonna add

to that sleek appearance and give you safer driving at night.

Now, with that being said, let's show you how these get installed.

So the next step is to remove the license plate and the license plate holder, since

we'll have to modify that to fit the new round LEDs.

I'm gonna use a 10 millimeter socket to remove the license plate bracket.

So the next thing to install the light, first off, you're gonna have to choose the light

with the LEDs on the outside.

So this one has them on the left, this is gonna be our driver's side.

The next thing is you're gonna have to find the wiring on this plug, and which wires coordinate.

So we found that the white with a yellow trace is for the tail light, the yellow with a green

trace is for our reverse, and then the green with a red trace is for our brake and turn

signal.

So what we're gonna do is we're gonna cut these wires, we're gonna use our provided

little splices, and then we're gonna splice in our new tail lights.

So after we cut these wires, we're gonna go and strip the ends.

And we're gonna have to do the same thing on our new tail light.

So we're gonna begin with our tail light, which is the brown wire on our new LED.

So we're gonna go ahead and slide one of these connectors completely over this.

And then we're gonna take these two wires, we're gonna twist them together.

So we're gonna slide that back over until this solder seal is right in the middle of

that wire.

Now, we're gonna melt the solder seal and we're gonna shrink the rest of the tubing.

So next, we're gonna do red.

Red is for your brake lights and your turn signal.

This is gonna go to our green with a red trace.

So we're gonna slip our end...over that, and we'll twist our two wires together.

So last one is gonna be our reverse.

Our reverse is gonna be blue on our new light, and a white with a green trace on our Jeep.

So we're gonna slide our little connector over.

So we're just about ready to install this light.

We have brand new bolts that we're gonna use.

First, we're gonna need to take the smallest bolt that they provide you, which is a self-tapper,

and we're gonna run through these two holes here.

Then we can install our light and hook up our ground.

So now, we're ready to install this.

We're gonna go ahead and use the provided bolts that they give us, and you'll need a

3/16 Allen key.

We're gonna take this ground and we're gonna drop it down, since it's gonna hook to the

frame.

So we're gonna need to pull this flap down.

Once you pull that down, you should be able to find your ground wire.

And then once you find that, you can pull that out.

Push that back up in there, and then we'll hook it onto the body of the Jeep.

So we're gonna do the same thing for the other side.

Next, we're gonna tap the hole with a 3/8 socket.

So the next step, we need to reinstall our license plate bracket.

Before we do that, we're gonna need to cut it out to fit around the light, so I basically

just held it up there, marked approximately how much I'll need to cut off, and then we

can test fit it if it doesn't work.

So I'm gonna use an air saw and I'm gonna cut this little section out.

So now that we've modified our bracket to fit around the light, we can reinstall it.

So that wraps up my review and install.
