XtraGlow LED Tail Light Assembly for Wrangler/CJ (Red Square, 2pcs) DOT-certified, Bolt-in

XtraGlow's red square LED tail light assembly replaces the stock rear combination lamps on compatible Wrangler and CJ models for brighter, DOT-certified brake, turn, reverse and marker illumination.

These two-piece replacement tail lamps are built for classic Jeeps (Wrangler YJ, CJ5, CJ7, CJ8 and related years listed) that need modern LED reliability and clearer visibility without changing the vehicle's rear styling. The kit combines multi-function LEDs—brake/turn/parking, license plate, reverse and side marker elements—in a bolt-in housing that matches common factory mounting points and includes hardware for splice-in wiring.

Which Jeep models and years will these lights fit?

These assemblies are designed for specific Wrangler and CJ model years; they are not universal and do not fit JK models. Verify part numbers and year ranges before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s mount and wiring setup.

• Compatible ranges: 1997–2006 Wrangler, 1976–1986 CJ7, 1981–1985 CJ8, 1987–1995 Wrangler YJ, 1976–1983 CJ5.
• Replacement part numbers included for left and right sides for cross-reference.
• Not compatible with JK-series Wranglers; confirm physical bolt spacing (~2") before ordering.

How does the LED arrangement improve nighttime visibility?

The lamp packs multiple LED clusters to separate and amplify each function: bright red LEDs for brake/turn/parking, white LEDs for reverse, and integrated side marker LEDs for lateral visibility. This layout creates clearer, faster-reacting signals that are easier for other drivers to see.

• 16 large red LEDs handle brake, parking and directional signals.
• 6 LEDs illuminate the license plate area for compliance and clarity.
• 21 white LEDs provide bright reverse light output for backing safety.
• 3 side marker LEDs improve side visibility and help meet DOT marker requirements.

What electrical or installation steps should I expect?

These assemblies are a bolt-in style replacement but require cutting and splicing the vehicle’s tail lamp pigtails onto the new harness. Wiring follows standard color codes, but older incandescent systems can cause hyper-flash without a resistor or updated flasher module.

• Wiring guide: white = ground, blue = reverse, black = tail/license/marker, red = stop/turn brake.
• May require a 5W 10Ω resistor or an electronic flasher for older vehicles with incandescent flasher systems.
• The lens and housing are removable to ease access during installation; bolt spacing approx. 2".

Are these lights legal and durable for road use?

These tail lights are DOT certified for on-road use in the United States, and the LED configuration is designed to meet common visibility standards. Construction includes a smoke lens option and housings built for replacement durability, though correct wiring and mounting are necessary to maintain legal operation.

• DOT certification confirms compliance with U.S. lamp visibility requirements.
• Robust LED arrays reduce filament blowouts and improve lifetime versus incandescent bulbs.
• Smoke lens provides a modern aesthetic while still delivering required light output.

Who is this for: This XtraGlow LED tail lamp kit suits owners restoring or upgrading classic Jeep Wranglers (YJ) and CJ-series models who want improved rear visibility, modern LED performance, and DOT-compliant lighting without drastically altering the vehicle’s original rear appearance. It’s ideal for enthusiasts comfortable with basic vehicle wiring and splicing who need a bolt-in replacement that enhances brake, turn and reverse signaling.
