FAQ
Do these JK tail lights need load resistors?
No. The listing says no decoder or resistor is needed, and the built-in EMC function prevents flicker. They plug into the factory connectors on US-spec JKs.
Are they street legal?
They're listed as DOT approved for road use in the US. Local rules can vary, so if your state inspects lighting, keep the product info handy in case an inspector asks.
Do they fit a 2018 Wrangler?
No. The JK generation ran 2007–2017, and the 2018 and newer Wrangler JL takes different tail lights. Check that your Jeep is a JK before you order, and use the JL options for 2018 and up.
Will they fit a European JK?
No. The listing says these are for US-spec Wranglers only and aren't compatible with European-standard JKs, which use different lighting. If you imported your Jeep, call us first.
