LED Red Tail Lights for Jeep Wrangler CJ YJ TJ
Complete LED tail light assemblies that replace your CJ, YJ, or TJ's dim factory lights with modern multi-function brightness—reverse, brake, turn, tail, and license plate lighting all in one compact unit.
See and Be Seen—Upgrade Your Wrangler's Rear Lighting
From the rugged CJ models of the '70s to the TJ Wranglers that rolled off the line in 2006, these classics were built for adventure—not necessarily for being seen in modern traffic. Factory incandescent tail lights were fine for their time, but they're slow to illuminate, prone to burning out, and frankly, they don't cut it on today's roads. Whether you're daily-driving your YJ or taking your CJ out for weekend trail runs, you need rear lighting that reacts instantly and stays visible in rain, dust, and low light.
These red-lens LED tail lights pack 39 high-output LEDs into each assembly, covering every rear lighting function your Jeep needs. You get 21 white LEDs for reverse lighting, 12 red LEDs for running lights, 12 more red LEDs for brake and turn signals, and 6 white LEDs dedicated to your license plate. That's serious brightness in a weatherproof, shockproof housing designed to handle the punishment of off-road use. Best of all, they're built to fit the mounting points on 1976–2006 Wranglers, so installation is straightforward—though you will need to wire them in yourself.
Key Features at a Glance
- 39 LEDs Per Light: 21 white for reverse, 12 red for running/tail, 12 red for brake/turn/stop, and 6 white for license plate illumination.
- Multi-Function Design: Combines reverse, brake, turn, tail, and license plate lighting in a single compact assembly.
- OEM Mounting: Designed to bolt into the factory tail light location on CJ, YJ, and TJ Wranglers from 1976 to 2006.
- IP67 Waterproof Rating: Sonically welded lens-to-housing seal keeps moisture, dust, and trail grime out.
- Shock and Vibration Resistant: Built to survive rough terrain, potholes, and hard stops without flickering or failing.
Installation & Wiring
These lights are not plug-and-play—they require hardwiring into your Jeep's existing tail light circuit. The wiring setup is straightforward: black wire is ground, red wire controls both reverse (low brightness) and brake/turn/stop (high brightness), blue + black wire powers the running/tail light function, and green wire feeds the license plate lights. You'll need to splice into your factory wiring or use a trailer wiring adapter if you're more comfortable with connectors. Basic electrical knowledge is helpful, and professional installation is recommended if you're not confident working with automotive wiring.
Durability & Build Quality
Each lens is sonically welded to the housing, creating a permanent, waterproof seal that won't leak or corrode over time. The IP67 rating means these lights can handle full submersion (up to 1 meter), so mud, rain, river crossings, and pressure washing won't faze them. The red acrylic lens resists UV damage and impact, while the internal LED array draws minimal power and generates almost no heat—critical for older Jeeps with aging electrical systems.
