Good product! for high brake lights

Looks very high quality. Sturdy metal, not plastic, the LEDs feel weatherproof and firmly anchored in each hole in the metal ring. The only downside of this article is that it doesn't come with any installation guide at all. Some electrical know-how is required, as are other consumables. I have a 2018 JLU Sahara with LED taillight. I had to remove the replacement bracket to get to the wires that go to the third brake light. Once these wires were found, I tied them to her. These are just my suggestions. 2 people are required to facilitate installation. Materials needed: β€’ 30cm of wire (standard speaker wire, 2 pins will do). β€’ 2 vampire clips. .β€’ Pliers or pliers β€’ Electrical tape.β€’ 2 butt connectors or solder kit1. Remove the spare wheel. Also remove the spare tire bracket by unscrewing 8 screws along the edges of the bracket.2. Have a helper hold the bracket while you work on the wiring.3. Locate the wiring that goes to your Jeep's third brake light. It comes with a rear camera, so be careful not to damage the wiring of the camera.4. Remove the tape (about 2-3 inches) from this bundled wire to expose 3 wires. Mine had green/white, black and camera wires (bigger wire).5. Take the extra cable and attach each extra cable to the 2 wires with the vampire clamps, being careful not to pinch the camera cable. They bind to your Jeep's existing third brake light. After connecting, secure the terminals with electrical tape.6. Strip to expose some of the bare wire on the extra wire you just connected. Temporarily twist this wire together with NEW brake light wires. In my case the green/white wire is connected to the red light wire. Caution: Be careful not to touch the wires, otherwise the fuse will blow.7. Have an assistant hold the NEW brake light while you press the brake pedal. If the light does not come on, swap the wires and try again.8. Once the light comes on, remember how it was connected and remove the temporary connections.9. Reattach the tire mount, making sure the cables are out of the way.10. Place the NEW brake light onto the tire's lugs (wiring faces Jeep) and pull the loose wire up through the tire mount.11. Make the connections to the light either by soldering or with crimp butt connectors.12. Check if the light works. If not, check the connections.13. Then wrap all the wires with tape and hide the wire in the hoop mount. If you used more than a foot of wire, make a loop and tie the wires together with wire. Reinstall the spare wheel.15. Finished!
