PRODUCT Review: Diode Dynamics Front Turn Signal Amber LED Bulbs
The front bulbs on the Jeep Wrangler JK are regular bulbs with the wire filament that is so fragile and heat up and run super hot to the touch. They provide adequate light so why would you want to change them?
In most cases you wouldn’t but that does not bode well for all the LED bulb sellers out there but, and I do mean but, it is very smart to upgrade all of your bulbs with new LED bulbs. That is what we will be doing on our Jeep Wrangler JK 2008 is moving to new LED bulbs.
They are in the end brighter, have instant on/off technology, take less power, and most importantly last a long time. That means you dont have to change bulbs as often, if ever.
Disclaimer: we purchased these LED lights on our own direct from the company. We were not paid in any way to conduct this review.
Impressions of Product, Review of Installation Process, and Other Thoughts
The LED lights are as easy to change as a stock bulb, as they go into the stock mounts. You will need the resistor kit to avoid hyper-blinking which is when the turn signals blinks rapidly after a few seconds of use.
We tried to install this without them to see if it would hyper-blink, and it does. Read the article on how to fix hyper-blinking in a JK.
Once installed that is all you have to do is turn on the signal like normal and they light up brilliantly. There is one kit above this one that is an even brighter model with better electronics built inside the LED bulbs unit.
At this time there is not a flasher module available for the Jeep Wrangler JK.

Diode Dynamics 3157 SMD27 LED Bulb (3057, 4114, 4157), Amber (pair)
- Simple installation
- Bright modern LED illumination
- Longer bulb life
- Quality SMD LED components
- 3-year limited replacement warranty
These bulbs are much brighter than OEM bulbs, with the crisp, modern instant on/off of LED technology. These are bright! This bulb has 27 5050-size SMDs. The bulbs use an exact terminal and will fit as a replacement for stock incandescent. All LED bulbs use less power and heat than the stock bulbs, and will last longer than your vehicle.
Our LEDs use only the best components and are of the highest quality. The bulbs are designed for exceptional heat dispersion, and a diode is implanted to protect the LED from reverse polarity or voltage surge. The LED is wired for 12V operation, the kind found on all vehicles. Included in your order is TWO BULBS (to fit your vehicle).
When changing your OEM turn signals to LED the turn signals on most vehicles will begin to blink fast (hyperblink). This is because LEDs use less power than the original bulbs, so your vehicle thinks that the bulb is out.
You can fix this by adding resistors to your vehicle or changing your OEM flasher module to LED (these are not included in this order). All Diode Dynamics products come with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and a 3-year limited replacement warranty.

OUR RATING
We give this item a 4 out of 5 stars as it is very cool product and great on the scale getting it a 4 we knocked it down just a little because it does requires some installation skill and wiring, you have to use a resistor kit.
