Short answer: this rear window hinge LED kit replaces the 2 hinge covers on the rear glass of a 2007–2017 Jeep Wrangler JK or JKU hardtop. Each cover has LEDs built in for red running lights, red brake lights and white reverse lights. It's a 1:1 swap with no cutting or drilling.
What you get
- 1 left and 1 right rear window hinge cover, each with LEDs
- Three functions: red running, red brake and white reverse
- A gloss black ABS housing
- An IP67 waterproof rating
Fitment
- Jeep Wrangler JK 2-door, 2007–2017
- Jeep Wrangler JKU 4-door, 2007–2017
The kit replaces the hinge covers on the factory hardtop's rear glass. If you run a soft top or an aftermarket hard top, check your rear glass hinges before you order.
Why owners do it
On a lot of JKs, the factory hinge covers fade to chalky gray. This kit swaps them for gloss black and adds high-mounted brake and reverse lighting at the same time. The extra reverse light helps when you're backing into a campsite or a dark driveway.
Install notes
The listing calls it plug-and-play, connecting to the vehicle's lighting harness. Swap one side at a time so you can copy the factory routing. Before you put the trim back on, test the running lights, the brake lights (have someone press the pedal) and the reverse lights.
More rear lighting for the JK is in Jeep Tail Lights.
FAQ
Does this fit a 2018 Wrangler?
No. This kit is made for the JK generation, which ran 2007–2017. The Wrangler JL started in 2018 and uses a different hardtop and rear glass, so this kit will not fit it.
Do the lights work with the brakes and reverse?
Yes. They run as red running lights, brighten red when you brake, and switch to white when you shift into reverse, so they work alongside your factory tail lights.
Is the kit waterproof?
The listing gives it an IP67 rating, so it's sealed against rain, snow, mud and a pressure washer. Just make sure each connection is fully seated during install.
Will it fit a 4-door JKU?
Yes. It fits both the 2-door JK and the 4-door JKU from 2007 to 2017, as long as the Jeep has the factory hardtop rear glass hinges.
