Smoked Rear Square LED Tail Lights Assembly for Wrangler and CJ

In this review of the smoked rear square LED tail lights assembly, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for Jeep owners who want a brighter, more modern look and are comfortable doing some wiring and minor modifications. The set replaces older incandescent assemblies with a smoke lens LED solution and delivers noticeably improved visibility for stop, turn and reverse functions. It is not plug-and-play, so the main reason to buy is the combination of brightness and style if you can tolerate basic splicing and possible alignment tweaks.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits a range of Jeep models including Wrangler TJ 1997-2006 and CJ and YJ models, making it a practical replacement for many classic Jeeps.
• LED Configuration: Includes multiple LEDs for brake/turn/parking, license plate and backup lights to provide clearer, whiter reverse illumination and stronger rear signaling.
• Smoke Lens Styling: The smoke lens gives the rear a more modern, understated look while still maintaining red signal output for safety.
• Included Sides: Both driver and passenger side assemblies are supplied, so buyers receive a full rear pair in one purchase.
• Bolt-In Installation: The assemblies mount with studs and a roughly 2in bolt spacing, offering a secure mechanical fit once modifications are completed.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at Jeep owners who want to upgrade factory tail lights to brighter LEDs and change the aesthetic to a smoked lens. It suits DIYers comfortable with cutting the stock tail lamp pigtail, splicing wires, and making minor mounting adjustments when pre-drilled holes do not line up perfectly.

It is not ideal for buyers seeking a direct plug-and-play replacement or those unwilling to add a resistor or replace an electronic flasher if their vehicle exhibits hyperflashing with LED conversions. Buyers wanting factory-exact fitment and factory wiring colors should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Brighter, more modern lighting with distinct LEDs for brake, turn, plate and backup functions.
• Full pair included, so both driver and passenger sides are covered in one kit.
• Smoked lens improves appearance while still delivering strong visibility, especially for reverse lights.
• Relatively good value for replacing dim factory units if you accept minor wiring work.

Cons

• Not plug-and-play: requires cutting the stock pigtail, splicing, and occasional mounting hole alignment work.
• LEDs can cause hyperflashing on vehicles with incandescent flashers, requiring a resistor or electronic flasher change (resistor not included).

Specifications

Our Verdict

This smoked LED tail light pair is a sensible upgrade for Jeep owners who prioritize brighter lighting and updated styling and who have the skills to cut, splice and adjust fitment. It delivers strong reverse brightness and improved rear visibility at a reasonable price, but it requires readiness to address hyperflashing and to make minor mounting corrections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these tail lights fit my Wrangler TJ?
They are compatible with Wrangler TJ 1997-2006 models, but verify bolt spacing and be prepared to splice the stock pigtail.

Do these lights cause hyperflashing?
Some vehicles with incandescent flashers may hyperflash with LED assemblies; a 5W 10ohm resistor or a new electronic flasher may be required (resistor not included).

Are the mounting holes guaranteed to line up?
The pre-drilled holes may not line up perfectly on every vehicle, and minor drilling or adjustment is commonly needed.
