Thanks for checking out the video and supporting Power Addicts the TH-cam channel! Have a great day!
I love that you don't just show the install. You show your difficulties and how you overcame them. Thanks for being a normal guy with normal issues and showing us how you overcame them.
Thats just how I roll!! 😀 You are welcome! Glad you like the videos!! Hope they help!
6 years later and your still teaching with this video. I was just dealing with thos yesterday. Thanks.
I stopped overnight a few years ago in Cookeville, and had breakfast, too. Met some great people, and they didn't hold it against me that I was from California.
I live about an hour south of Cookeville. Its a neat area. I used to do a lot of hiking in the Sparta / Cookeville area. My sons in laws are from California, they are AWESOME people. So much fun to hang out with.
I went with the same tail lights but I did some research long before I actually installed em. That research was pretty much watching this video. I watched this video 3 years ago but didn't install the lights until last year. Made sure I had the flasher relay and everything. Only issue I've had is I've had to replace the flasher what looks to be every 6 months (I'll update in another 4 months to let ya know) as eventually it altogether either stays on or doesn't come on at all then the turn signal on. It also doesn't flash at a normal pace all the time. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower than I'd like. Otherwise I'm happy with em. Oh I also weren't with a license plate relocaor to the tailgate and took my spare off. I'm gonna convert the tailgate to a drop down eventually so I'll have to rewire to make that work.
Thank you so much for such a clear and informative video. I just picked up my YJ and the previous owner changed to LED. They've messed up the wiring pretty good. I'm pretty new and had no idea how I was going to diagnose this. Thank you so much for the details you provided! Heading out to try it now 🤞
Incredible video. You're a great person for taking time to put out these videos!
You are welcome! Hope they help!!
You're my favorite jeep video guy Chuck! Thanks for all your help!
Thanks :-) You are welcome! Glad the video are of good help to you! Thanks for taking the time to drop in a great comment! Have a great day!
Thank you!! That is why the blinkers were not working! Your video helped me so much!
With a video connection as awesome as your, my next car will be a Jeep. This would be the most logical decision I could possible make.
great video, solved problem, as FYI for everyone else shopping at local parts stores just have them pull up details on each flasher and look for 1 that supports LED.
Bill
Good info . I am getting ready for some leds and needed to know about the flasher change. Thanks for the video .Merry Christmas
Good luck! Hope you like them!! In the pinned comment I have included links to the parts that should work. Merry Christmas!! Thanks for dropping in!! Have a great day!
thanks for the video. installed these on my wife’s YJ. video helped a ton
You are welcome! They are good lights. I like the shallow depth, brighter lights and still got the same YJ shape. Glad the video and lights helped! Thanks for taking the time to leave an awesome comment!! Have a great day!
Again saving me stress and time. Thanks brother 👍🏻
Happy to help. You are welcome!!
Incredible fix man, thank you. Just did my own with a lot of advice from this video, even the flasher. Amazing
Glad it helped!!
Great video, Im planning to put these on my flatbed truck and this video was perfect tutorial!!
Even though I was putting the lights on a Jeep, I made sure I demonstrated how to figure out what wire did what. With demonstrating the wires that make the video universal to most other types of rides. Glad the video helped you! Thanks for taking the time to leave a cool comment! Have a great day!
I have learned a lot from your videos . We appreciate it thank you very much
Glad the channel helps! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Have a great day!
Hey Chuck, Great video. Thanks for posting it!
Your welcome! Hope you enjoyed and it helps!
Thanks man...had just put some led on my wrangler....and no turn signal....thanks...good vedio..
hey love the videos I'm new to Jeep and got a 89 YJ had to replace the output shaft seal on the transfer case tonight and discovered a trick with the lighting inside the cab just for s**** and grins I took my under the hood Blue Point LED rechargeable light and I know I tried it inside the cab about the bars and it fits in their perfect clears the soft top with it on you can aim it towards the front snot in your eyes lights up the whole cab you can turn it and then you can light up the whole back of the Jeep awesome awesome idea all you got to do is recharge it when it needs charged if you break down on the road you got a light for under your hood I'll take a picture of it and try to post it on here later on tomorrow when there's light out but I think it's awesome idea it lights up the whole cab and service multiple purposes
Glad you like the videos! Hope they help you out! Post the pict on the FB page: facebook.com/fixjeeps/ . I'd like to see your idea. Thanks for taking the time to leave an awesome comment! Have a great day :-)
Thanks man. Always learning from ya
Thanks, bud! Glad you like the videos!! Thanks for dropping in a cool comment!
Thank you for putting out a video
You are welcome! Hope it helps!!
Here you are again, Chuck. Helping me out with replacing my YJ stock tail lights assembly. You cover things the way most of us look at things that we're not doing every darn day. Is LL552 flasher similar to EL-12 which is often recommended when some of the lights using the flasher are LED??
Glad the video helped you! I try to be thorough, it makes my videos a bit long sometimes. My first priority has always been to help people. I later switched to the EF32RL flasher that has the ground wire. It is much more consistent and as you add more LEDs it handles it much better. Here is the link to that flasher: amzn.to/3y59eCH
Thank you man, couldn’t easily figure out how to access the bolts.
You are welcome! Glad the video helped!
Thank you friend
You are welcome. Hope it helped!
Great video,thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. I got a pair of very similar LED tail lights for my '99 TJ and am having a problem. They are LED tail light/brake light/back up light/and license plate light all in one. They have 3 wires and a ground coming out the back, so 4 total I've wired them up per the diagram and grounded them to the tub using the mounting bolts. My problem is that whenever I turn on my headlights or press on the brakes, all the lights in unit turn on - brake and reverse lights. I even tried different wiring combinations to and its the same no matter what combination I do. Any thoughts?
Thanks man! Easy $8 fix!
You welcome man! Glad it worked for ya! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Have a great day!
Solid whhhite ! Good video 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!!
They have lights where you don't have to change anything! The products are the problem! I was told that about my head lights and no issue because of the components they wire inside! I pray to God I can get some led lights without moding anything!!!!!! Cheers! We know how hard this work is!
Yep, they are now LEDs that have the load resister built in making installs much easier. I have some that I'm going to experiment with. There will be a video on those at some point. Have a great day!!
Good night
Good job
Glad you enjoyed the vid
Hey buddy I really enjoy watching your videos very helpful.. I switched my standard bulbs in my 94 YJ Jeep and bought the LL552 flasher and still no luck with Hazzards or turn signals??
Check and clean all your grounds for the lights. LEDs are more sensitive to bad grounds. Good luck and have a good day!
Does the body lift on the Jeep change the pitch for your differential
I do have a question that you were so close to answering 😂 Im going from led back to incandescent. The replacements don't have ground wires. I can't tell where/how you attached the ground to the interior of the light.
i wish some one at least show how you actually bolt the lights on , any help would be a help , thanks
I upgraded my flasher and still solid blinkers.
Check all the other bulbs to make sure they are good. Also, be sure you replaced the correct blinker. There can be 2 of them on the fuse block.
Hi i need help my reverse don't work i got the same light of you i can figure out
I noticed the cookeville sticker, is that by chance cookeville Tennessee? Also great video bought a yj with led taillights already that were working correctly. Going to go out there and diagnose them now this way!
Yep, Cookeville TN. My YJ and my dads TJ came from up in that area originally. I like the LEDS!!
I clicked on your Fix Jeeps website but the tail light info isnt there. It takes you to amazon but thats it! The tail lights i havent bought already like i did the headlights! Are the tail back together lights Partsam-131703? How much do they cost $35 up? Did you do the 3rd brake light? I have the 3rd brake light above the spare tire, was wondering if there was a matching lens for the 3rd brake light?
I also wanted to ask what ALL would cause the mpg to go from 14mpg to 11mpg...2wks later..11mpg to 9mpg and 2 wks go by and its only getting 7mpg now! I have replaced the vacuum lines, TPS, IAC, exhaust manifold gasket, spark plugs, distributer cap & rotor, fuel pump and 02 oxygen sensor over a 10 mth period! Now i had my my fuel pump changed cause it went out but after everything was back together my gas gauge is reading 3/4 tank when its completely full. Im wondering if i have to pull the tank or if i can get away with pulling the hose that is inside the gas tank & cutting some off? Those issues i been tackling for almost a darn yr now, im about worn out on it.....lol
how do you hook up a 3rd brake light now????
On my 92 Jeep Wrangler when I press on the brake light the reverse goes on also and vise versa any tips?
i recently added LED tail lights similar to these on my 90 YJ and im running into the issue of my reverse lights are constantly on and my brake lights are not coming on at all. everything else works aka my turn signals work, my license plate light turns on, and when i flip the headlight switch on the running/tail lights come on. ive tried switching wires around but that hasnt worked and ive replaced the brake peddle switch. im at a loss the tail lights i bought are off amazon CMVT auto LED tail lights for reference any help would be appreciated.
hello i have a yj 1995 can you help me y got the same tail lights put it the same way you did but when i turn on the lights my tail lights dont turn on but the light for the license plate does ....
I just wired some in yesterday. When I put the last one in and peel over the stuff protects the lens during shipping. The lens came off in my hands. It fell a part but I got some super glue and put it back together. I did contact the seller online and told them. Got it from eBay.
Make sure you seal them well or they will take on moisture behind the lens. I cracked one of mine about a month after installing them, I accidentally hit it with a driveshaft. Every since it will occasionally get condensation build up behind the lens. Thanks for checking ou the video and taking the time to leave a great comment! Have a great day!
I found some super glue at Wal-Mart made JB Weld called Super Weld and put it back together.
On the main fuse for the LED lights I had to change out the fuse and put a LED fuse in for the LED
Please help for some reason my tail light is not working on my passenger side along with my reverse lights on both.. I bought new lights like these hoping it would help but I’m still having this issue. My brake lights and turning signals work on both sides no problem, what should I do to the the wires/harness?
I’m having the same issue except my hazards work and my turn signals don’t and I have a buzzing sound coming from the column
I installed same ones my running lights not working, any suggestions?
What about your blinkers
When I turn my right blinker on it causes both rear lights to flash, what should I do?
Hi I installed exact same LED super thin tail lights on my 97' jeep wrangler and dont come at all. The only difference on my is wire colors my LED lights have solid white black red green so I'm confused please adviceThanks
I just replaced a set of LEDs with a newer version... everything works till I turn on the lights... I get nothing! What should I check? Old LEDs were starting to just partially light up.
I did this and my blinker stays on almost like it shorted out. Got any advice?
Hi Chuck, do you think I have a ground issue for my stock rear tail lights on my yj if brake and reverse lights aren't lighting up? The only one that function is the tail light/ running light, any suggestions?
Have you checked your bulbs? All light functions for each tail light share the same ground. So, not ruling out a ground. It is just more possible you could have other issues. Check the contacts inside the tail light, they are really prone to corrosion. Good luck! Have a great day!
Why is it when im trying to install led lights my running lights won't work can it be my switch or wiring problem
did you forget to raise your passenger side lights up like you did the drivers? it looks lower to me. good video. I have been wanting to do this upgrade.
Nope .. didnt raise the passenger. I only raised the drivers side about an 1/8". I'm not gonna sweat it. Thanks, glad you like the video! Its an easy swap so good luck when you do it! Have a great day!
Hey Chuck were did you pick up the lights
I put the links on my site for the lights used: www.fixjeeps.com/Jeep-Wrangler-YJ-LED-Tail-light.html
What do u think about wheel spacer s
Thats a heavy debate within the forums. Some like them .. some don't. Me personally, I'm not a fan at all of them at all. I've known of too many failing under different circumstances. I would rather buy wheels that fit than risk getting into a dangerous situation.
Cool lights... How much u pay fot them?? I too have an 89, but its a 2.5.. Keep up the good work on the jeep vids!!!!!
Thanks, Glad you like the videos! Here is a link to my site where I placed the product links: www.fixjeeps.com/Jeep-Wrangler-YJ-LED-Tail-light.html
Power Addicts - FixJeeps.com - Jeep, car and motorcycle tips right on brotha!!! your detailed videos on the yj are the best on youtube!!!!!!
Huge Thanks man! Glad you like them! Have a great day!!
Aye man you think it would make a difference if i replaced my stock bulbs with led bulbs?
No doubt it would. I helped a fella I work with convert his stock rig to LED. Huge difference! Here are the tail lights: amzn.to/2sbH0mf . Here are the back up lights: amzn.to/2x9Slcj . With running LED tail light bulbs you will need a flasher module to make sure they work correctly, here ya go: amzn.to/2kpm8EO . Enjoy!! Have a great day!
Power Addicts - FixJeeps.com - Jeep, car and motorcycle tips Alright thanks a lot, aloha from Hawaii, and btw like the vids keep it up 🤙🏽
Hey I installed some LED Spyder tail light and my right side is not as bright as the left side but its only like that with my LED lights. It doesn't do that with my original tail light. Any idea what the problem is..??
Check the grounds. That's the first thing I would do. Good luck
👍👍👍
Thanks!
Have you ever replaced the signal arm and the thing it goes into? I was trying to dim my lights and the turn signal arm came out in my hand. My headlights was stuck on bright and they were flashing on and off. Had break the thing the arm goes into to get it to stop. I was in the woods getting going hunting in started this. Thi is on 1995 Jeep Wrangler.
I've changed them before my TH-cam days. I need to change the one on my 91. I'll put that on the video to do list!
@@Poweraddicts they're not too many videos on this. I found this job to be difficult for the average do it yourself. Because the whole top part of the steering column have to come apart. But I like to see a video on it.
My reverse lights come on when I hit the brake lights off I wire it like you are saying. Do you know why?
I have the same issue
Is the intake, exhaust, the same gasket,
Yes .. the intake and exhaust is all the same gasket.
How do you get to the nuts inside the wheel well on passenger side on a TJ? There seems to he a lot of metal in the way
I'll have to look at my dads Tj. I've never really looked to be honest. I'll reply back here when I get to check. Thanks for checking out the vid!! Have a great day!
@@Poweraddicts thanks for reply. Mine is a 05 and has the evap canister behind the passenger tail light. Any ideas?
Hello there! I'm new to Jeep and I got a 95 Jeep Wrangler. I will do the upgrade in a couple of weeks but I got the LED lights with the plug and play, do you think I have to extra work for this?
If its a plug and play install, it should be really easy. The only issue you "might" have is either your flashers will either stay on solid or flash very fast. If it does either one of those here is the relay you will need: amzn.to/2iWPjSp . You can also pick up a relay at any auto parts store. In the store, it may not look the same, just make sure the package says for LED somewhere. Good luck! Have a great day!
Thanks!!! really appreciate your quick response! I'll let you know when I do the upgrade
my LED tail lights came with BLACK, RED, GREEN and WHITE wires
I have the same " handy dandy toolbox " hahahahaha
I've had that for many years! One day I stuffed it full of tools and threw it on the Jeep. Been there every since .. lol. Makes a great tool to hold the brake pedal down :-)
hey I replaced my flasher but my turn signals still flash fast.
Either you got the wrong flasher or a bulb bad somewhere.
same here. i got the exact same flasher. but my turn signal would stop a times and also flicker sometimes. i had to put back the original that still seems to work okay with a combination led and old light bulbs.
Looks like your jeep came from Tn. Noticed at the end you said your from Tn lol.

I can’t manage to put the right rear light on because theirs a huge metal piece and plastic that’s like impossible to take out
Neither one of my rigs have that plastic piece in them or I'd make a video showing how to remove them.
@@Poweraddicts Its basically the fuel pressure regulator, I didn't remove it because of the rust issue would have been impossible to put back in. I ended up get a long rench extender, It was more difficult then putting a new fender on.
Hey, we chatted a few times about YJ's. I did a video a few months back just showing the quadratec kit that you can pick up. It may be good to note to your subs that the kit that I picked up does not require splicing of the wires. Great install vid BTW. Always look forward to your uploads. It's plug and play. Here's the vid of them in action: th-cam.com/video/9v-0dCGDEpk/w-d-xo.html
Both of my headlights flash when I turn my blinker
You have a short somewhere.
@@Poweraddicts I fixed it with a new flasher
