Xprite Double Ring Spare Tire Brake Light, Plug and Play LED 3rd Third Brake Lights, Rear Tail Wheel Lights Compatible with 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK JKU

So far so good. First before you install be sure to watch a video about how to remove the back of the tail light assembly for your Jeep. You only get the light and the attached wires. Nothing else. You don't receive any instructions nor electrical connections. What I had to do was get an electrical tap and black shrink tape to slide along the wire length to where it attaches to the plastic circle mount itself so the exposed wires look black and factory-like (as opposed to having two white and red wires exposed on the back of the Jeep). I tapped into the rear light about an inch or so away so the two taps could fit in that area. It all screwed together well enough to look seamless. End result - looks nice and bright

This thing is perfect for the stock 17" spare wheel that came with my 2016 Jeep Wrangler. I used a little double sided mounting tape on the tire carrier to keep it in place during tire changes. For the wiring, I used two "vampire" spade clips to tap into the brake light inside the weird Jeep para-scope third brake light housing. It would be nice if it shipped with these, but they are cheap and easy to find. This light went down 26 miles of VERY VERY BUMPY trail, was exposed to desert heat (127° F (no, not kidding))---and kept working through a torrential rain that lasted two days. People following me out to and back from deep West Texas said they could pick me out at a distance because the light was so distinct. It does not do ANY disco tricks, but I'm super impressed with it. The one job it does, it does very well.

I had a previous version from another manufacture that was not as bright nor did it have 2 "rows" of LED's. This thing is bright and has a smoked look to it. When you are braking everyone will know which is good. Im not saying this will prevent getting rear ended but it definitely helps because you cant miss these lights. Super easy install because it only has 2 wires, a positive and negative. It mounts up on your spare tire carrier and the force of the spare tire holds it in place. I will update my photos with some action shots when i have a chance. Its also completely waterproof as you can see by the excellent sealing on the photos i uploaded.

Bought this to install on my son’s 2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ with 15 inch rims. Knew we might have to do a little modification given the lugs on the TJ. It fit inside the 15 inch rims without having to make any adjustments. We did have to do some other work on the holes in order to fit the bolt pattern. We used a drill and a box cutter to bevel out all three holes a little bit—box cutter actually worked better. We couldn't find a file in the tool box and we don’t own a dremel. Beveling our the holes gave it a nice snug fit. Used some butt splice connectors and didn’t have to use any extra wire with what we had with the Jeep and the insert was plenty. Really like the two rings of lights—plenty bright and very happy. Haven’t taken it back to the inspection place to see if they’ll pass it as the third light. We are in Texas.

Update: XpriteUSA replaced my item but only after writing the below review. As you can see by my review below, I tried to resolve before writing this review. Thank you XpriteUSA for the replacement, arrived quickly. Bottom line, listed as new, but obviously used, scuffed, and broken contacted Xprite and they would not replace. I have Xprite taillights and was excited to get this at a 20% discount on Prime Day. When it arrived I left it in the box and saved it for install during my next tire rotation. Three months after receiving it as the weather cooled I decided to rotate my tires, when I opened the box I discovered the unit was used and broken, with no instructions or mounting hardware. Obviously a repacked return. I contacted Xprite and they refused to replace it, because they have a 30 day return policy. I contacted them again, explained that they shipped me a used and broken product, gave them the benefit of the doubt to give them a chance to exchange it for a new item. They still refused, sticking with their 30 day policy. They had the chance to do the right thing, but chose not to, I had hoped that the thought of a customer receiving a used and broken product would enough for them to make it right. I guess customer service and standing behind there product is not a priority.

Install was quick and easy. Did not come with instructions, but I opted to ignore the "This side up" molded into the plastic housing and mount with the wires protruding from the top. This way, I was able to route them right up into the existing 3rd tail-light assembly (mounted over spare tire) on my 2009 JK and tie them in out-of-sight. Dropped the easy to install rating from 5 to 4 stars due to the lack of instructions and I had to verify which wires were hot/ground before installing.

Worked fine for a little while but then started acting erratic can’t turn it off can’t change colors. Doesn’t connect well and doesn’t even use the same app as other Xprite lights. I have to say that the functionality is better on the same product for jk but something about the jl one just doesn’t work well

Balling! Total eye catcher
