Today we're checking out the Sunlight 9-inch LED replacement headlights with dual function white daytime running light and amber turn signal halo rings for the 2018 and newer Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020 - newer Jeep Gladiator JT.
This 9 inch headlight from LOYO is a true replacement headlight designed specifically with the Wrangler jail and Gladiator JT in mind and that means there's no additional brackets or trim rings required to get them mounted in the grille of your Jeep. They're going to bolt right in and fill up that entire headlight bucket, and the housings have been engineered to include a tough and durable polycarbonate lens as well as an IP67 waterproof rating. They also feature all Dot and SAE approvals making them 50 state street legal in US.
The Sunlight headlights feature a large center projector that illuminates for your low beam outputting 3,000 lumens of light to illuminate the road, and trail ahead of your jeep with a super sharp cutoff beam to make sure that none of that light bleeds up blinding oncoming traffic. When you illuminate the high beam, three additional projectors on the top half of that lens will illuminate giving you a total of 6,000 lumens of light to light up the road in front of you, drawing just 100 watts of power.
The low and high beam light is designed to be a plug and play install featuring a factory style connector. There's also the added functionality of a dual function halo ring that illuminates white with your daytime running light, and amber with your turn signals. The Halo ring will require the addition of two wires to be added to your system that can be done with some minimal wiring.
