The Best Jeep Gladiator Lights

The Benefits of Upgraded Lighting

So, why install aftermarket lighting in the first place? Especially on a modern chassis like the Jeep Gladiator?

Improved Visibility (On the Road)

As a relatively new vehicle, the light emitted from your Jeep Gladiator should be potent enough to cut through any conditions—then why do you still strain your eyes for visibility on a dimly lit street? 

Sometimes, even the power of OEM headlights and fog lights isn’t enough to cut through the darkness, leaving you wanting more. That’s where aftermarket counterparts come into play, producing crisp and efficient output through high-quality LED chips, premium optics, and unmatched quality.

Improved Visibility (On the Trail)

While most modern vehicles feature suitable lighting for day-to-day street driving, this performance significantly diminishes when leaving the comfort of street lights and the light pollution of a town or city. 

One drive through an unlit backroad or pitch-black trail quickly highlights the insufficiency of the factory headlights and foglights. For this reason, Jeepers often resort to aftermarket lighting solutions, significantly improving visibility where it’s needed most.

Improved Visibility (Of your Jeep)

While visibility of your surroundings is important, other drivers’ visibility of your Jeep is just as crucial. Products like aftermarket accessory, corner, bumper, and marker lights help to indicate your Jeep Gladiator’s position to other drivers, reducing the risk of accidents, fender benders, and minor contact while wheeling at night—especially in dusty, low-visibility conditions. 

Improved Aesthetics

Lastly, aftermarket lighting significantly improves a vehicle’s aesthetics, from stylishly designed aftermarket headlight and tail light housings to rows of premium LED cubes and bars. 

Not only that—upgrading dim halogen lighting to modern LED technology also modernizes a vehicle’s appearance.

Types of Automotive Lighting

With the benefits of aftermarket lighting thoroughly fleshed out, let’s cover the styles of automotive lighting, including each’s purpose and our top products by category.

Headlights

Headlights are one of, if not the most important, light sources on your Jeep Gladiator. The low beams provide up to 250–350 feet of front-facing visibility. JT Gladiators also utilize dual high/low beam headlights, with high beams projecting up to 500 feet. 

From the factory, most Jeep Gladiators come equipped with traditional halogen headlights, save for high-end trim models. This reliable yet dated technology casts light in every direction, reducing efficiency. By contrast, most aftermarket headlights employ projector optics and LED chips, resulting in a brighter, more efficient, and more concentrated beam than their factory counterparts. 

Most aftermarket headlights also come in various lens colors and styles, allowing for further personalization of your Jeep Gladiator’s aesthetics.

Top Jeep Gladiator Headlights: Morimoto Jeep Sealed Beam LED Headlights

Upgrade your Gladiator’s front end with Morimoto Jeep Sealed Beam LED Headlights, which pack premium LED projector technology in a compact, easy-to-install sealed housing. The headlights feature PWM LED drivers and premium 5000K LED chips for crisp, powerful, bright white light. The integrated high and low beam projectors produce a usable beam pattern with excellent cutoff, ensuring no light is wasted. 

Visually, sleek gloss black housings with built-in LED switchback DRLs make for stunning aesthetics, whether on or off. For maximum longevity, Morimoto employs UV-coated polycarbonate lenses to resist yellowing and hazing. Morimoto backs each order of Sealed Beam LED Headlights with a 5-year warranty.

Tail Lights

Just as crucial as headlights to your Jeep Gladiator are its tail lights, which provide countless integral signaling functions, including braking, turning, reversing, and running. These functions are vital to your safety, your passengers', and other drivers'. 

Aftermarket tail lights use premium LED chips to increase brightness and emphasize each signal, increasing other drivers’ visibility of your Gladiator and its planned movements. After all, the sooner another driver spots your Gladiator's turn signal, brake light, or reverse light, the longer that driver has to plan accordingly. 

Aftermarket tail lights can also improve aesthetics, as several manufacturers offer unique designs, different lens colors, and more.

Off-Road Lights (LED Bars, Cubes, and More)

Next, let’s talk about off-road lights. Off-road lights are a worthwhile investment for any off-roader, especially frequent nighttime wheelers. These compact and versatile lights come in several form factors, including LED light bars, pods and cubes, and round lights.

Off-road lights also come in several beam patterns, accomplished through different optics and lenses. Flood pattern lights, for example, produce wide, diffused beams, while spot lenses produce narrow, concentrated beams. Combo/driving lenses blend the two patterns, simultaneously offering wide and narrow patterns.

Off-road lights are highly versatile, mounting essentially anywhere on your Jeep and for any purpose. With LED lights' minuscule electrical draw, your Gladiator's factory charging system can handle several LED-powered off-road lights without strain.
