Highbeam Offroad Headlight Review - Jeep Wrangler JK
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
After having a few issues with my Amazon Sunpie headlights, as well as hearing issues from other Jeep owners I decided it was time to do a review on some headlights I’ve been hearing good things about.
In this video I install and review a set of Highbeam Offroad Drifter series headlights.
These things are BRIGHT! Backed by a lifetime warranty, a fairly affordable price tag, and a pretty cool appearance.
These lights will work with any Wrangler, with the exception of the YJ (square headlights duh). If your looking to upgrade your JL headlights then you will need to purchase the separate adapter housing (available from Highbeam Offroad as well)
I was able to talk Highbeam Offroad into giving all of you 10% off using the code JKGG. I’m not sure how long it will be valid for, but I will update this once it’s ended.
They also sell other various styles, however the drifter series is the brightest! You’ll also find taillights, rocklighrs and other lighting upgrades, all backed by the lifetime warranty as well.
Check them out! www.highbeamoffroad.net
If your looking for how to wire up the Daytime running lights and turn signals, the instructions are on the website: www.highbeamoffroad.net/produ...
Thanks for watching!

All these new mods and upgrades, it’s time to go wheeling!!!

Bummer, they look good and perform well :(
No doubt, my stock JK headlights are basically candles.
I’ve had my amazon ones for 2 years and they haven’t let me down yet 😭 defiantly will buy these when they give out.
Thank you for this video and discount. It helped convinced the wife for the go ahead on ordering headlights after owning our jku for over a year.
Been running Truck-Lites for about 3 years now and love them!
Thank you Ben. I've been looking into getting new headlights so this came at the right time for me. I enjoy the way you do things and your explanations. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the information on these headlights. Was looking to upgrade my headlights.
I just stumbled upon your channel, I'm really enjoying your content. Keep up the good work.
I comboed these lights with rough country led pods foglights and i tell you what its truly night and day ! Nice video thoe 👌
That is a major difference and I have those sunpie leds, haven’t had problems with them yet but when they do I will go to these, great video
Mine are a previous version of the Drifter. Going on 2 years and never a problem.
Thanks for the update. Almost pulled the trigger on the sunpies. I’ll probably be heading over to highbeam now.
I'd probably purchase them if I didn't already have the stock LEDs. They remind me of the JL's LED lights. The 'horizontal bars' of the JL lights remind me of the slotted light covers the military Jeeps had during WWII. I always thought that was the JL's nod to Jeep's military history. Surprised it's not mentioned more if that was intentional. Another great video Ben. Keep them coming.....
I bought the Highbeam off-road lights, installed them. Work great, really bright. Thank you.

Hey Ben. What do you recommend for LED tail lights ?
that's really impressive light output. i bought a JLUR and the stock LEDs are amazing over the JK halogens. coupled with the mopar A pilar LED spots you can see like daytime on the trail.
I have Quadratec led head lights (look like truck lites).. they are very good at hot spots and cut off lines.... For tail lights I have the High beam off-road ones ( don't remember the name) with the brightest backup lights I have ever seen they work great!...
Thanks for loading this video and the reviews. I am in the market for either LED replacement bulbs or a total headlight changeout like right now. Thanks again for the info and the discount code.

I wouldn’t bother with LED replacement bulbs, they scatter the light randomly and don’t have a good beam pattern. I know quite a few people who tried it and later changed them out with actual LED headlights
Matt from Highbeam Offroad was nice enough to offer 10% off any lights from his website using the code JKGG

@Shawn Combs Well damn. I ordered mine without the code. Maybe the code just doesn't work on sale prices or something.
Have them and love them!
Love mine. High beam is a great product
Wow. They are really bright
Just call me "Day late, dollar short". Already running JW Speaker 8700 Evo's on both of my Jeeps. Did the research. The Highbeam Drifters are much brighter than my J-Dubs at half the price. Not to mention the lifetime warranty vs J-Dubs 5 years. Can't even find a clear definition of their warranty on their site anymore. Good find, Ben.
They look amazing, so far i dont have any issues with the led lights that came on my jeep, i will have to see what brand they are.
Running High Beam Predators on my YJ love em
I got halos because they look cool but these are amazing especially in the desert. They do look a little "buggy", love the look.
I recommend wrapping the anti-flicker plugs with electrical tape to avoid getting water in them. I love my Raxiom LED's but the plugs can get loose and muddy water will cause them to turn off.
Thank you for the video on discount code I just ordered a set of their tail lights

Just in time because a deer decided to kill my trucklite headlights yesterday. Great review and damn they look nice.
Great video Again! In my state the inspections are very anti-aftermarket LED headlights mostly due to people using the super cheap Chinese bulbs in their stock reflectors. Have you ever had any legal issues? Or maybe others have had inspection problems? Here, having DOT approved lights does not seem to help, they just don't like them. Yet new Jeep's have them from factory.
Nice vid Ben but 👎🏽 on this purchase. I wish Jeepers would stop buying cheap Chinese products. I have seen Jeeps with these & yes they are very bright & cool looking but BLINDING!!! It may say "DOT" approved but anyone who buys these better check state/local laws first. They are excellent for off roading but are not made for street use because of how bright they are. I looked at the cheaper lights out there but chose to go with JW Speaker head/fog lights. With that being said, enjoy your new purchase brah & keep the vids coming 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Have to agree! The ones that are truly DOT legal have information to back the claim. Every amazon light that blinds people says DOT on it... Only those that are DOT Certified are legal.

I bought these headlights I just set a fog and I cannot get a hold of the company do you have any suggestions
how are the new ones working? Moisture inside?
Do the Highbeam Defenders generate any heat, to keep the ice & slush from building up in the winter? (I'm in Minnesota where that's half the year)
Ben, would you PLEASE get a GoPro Head Mount for your installs! That way you're not dropping headlights when talking to the camera! ;-)
Brightness is great. But idk how I feel about that horizontal line look when they're actually on. Funny thing I would watch your videos and didn't even own a jeep. I now have a 2014 that I can now apply what I watch lol.
Can I get these for land cruiser 70 series?
Looks good ben!
Love my jw speaker evolution j led led headlights ,yeah expensive but get what u pay for and no anti flicker harness needed it's already built in I'm not buying Chinese lights but to each there own,buy what u can afford,they are all better then factory ones,my jw speaker lights I've had for 3 years now
Tried to research where these are actually made with no luck. Figuring if it was made in the USA they would be proudly letting it be known. Any idea? Anyways stick with KC Lites!! Made in USA always have been always will be. They have all you’re headlights as well. And guaranteed.

Ours are produced in China and we’re not afraid to say it. The quality we are getting from our manufacturers is second to none. We wouldn’t put a lifetime warranty on them if we didn’t have faith in the product.

For me where they are made is huge. I am for America. Also for American companies that employ Americans and keep the jobs right here in the USA. I have no doubt you have faith in your product and I tip my hat to that. But I know where my KC lites come from. The same town that the company was started at is right where they are today.

Thinking about getting these for my JK, because of the life time warranty. Any updates?
I didn’t know those little wires could setup for a turn signal and daylights, I left them alone on my instal but could you do in depth video of setting those up? It isn’t a bad thing to have day running lights right?
Is the tj a apex?
Long term update on these lights? Been hovering over the buy now button.
Hi Ben, I've had the highbeam offroad lights for a while, great lights, sux they went out of business. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has the PDF of wiring instructions to put amber DRL. I can't seem to find it anywhere. I know you need to clip in 1 of the extra wires into 1 of the 3 wires running to running lights, but I'm not sure, which color to which color. any help would be much appreciated.
Wow, those lights seem do the trick. Now I gotta spend more cash on the jeep. Haha. Thanks Ben.
Give that anti-flicker harness a good jolt. You'll see the high beams flash.
I would fill all of those connectors up with dielectric grease before snapping them together.
Wow those lights a real nice, to bad they went out of business. Do you know of any other light that has that same spread? I would like to get new lights for my job but don’t know which one to get. Any recommendation?
I love your spidereyes I have the same an love them.
I have the RGB orbital combo with the fog lights from high beam off road and have had nothing but TROUBLE with them. I have a dead spot in the halos after changing out the rgb controller. The lights are very bright and love the way they look. My main problem is the app that controls the halos. It's pretty much made the halos useless right now since I cant pair them with my phone or the halos dont show up in the app. Cant control the halos without the app.
When are you putting out the price breakdown video for axles?

My headlight harness were so finicky and corrodded. Cleaned them so many times and put grease but never worked. Finally just cut the damn thing off and hard wired it. Might be a pain in the future but F it
I bought similar ones from Seward off-road. Pretty sure they're just coming out of China and getting rebranded. I bought a full LED light kit with headlights, fog lights, markers, turn signals and taillights.

Similar, but a whole new redesign at 130W on high beam.
I Have been having troubles with my highbeam from tough to track the package, headlight not longer has logo, no stickers, they showed up already a bit scratched under the packaging film and now my high beams don’t work and I I’ve tried different anti flicker harness’ and they won’t respond on any platform for the warranty and I’m starting to think covid took the company under. I’m not sure if you can provide insight or facilitate as this has been going on for several months and I can’t get in contact with them for help as much as I want to like the headlights. I got them based off your video really but haven’t had the best luck.
ordered these over a month ago, never came, never heard from the company. kinda disappointed. any other suggestions?
Where was this video two weeks ago?? Dang it! I hate the LEDs that I got.
Hey Ben, do you have direct contact with anyone at high beam Offroad? I’ve asked them a couple questions with no response.

If you see an anti flicker harness is required you should delete them from the list of cantidates. Quality LED products have the components built in and mounted inside to the heat sink to provide good reliability and weather protection.

Ordered a whole setup from Highbeam Offroad at a show last July and haven't received the product yet. They won't return emails, phone calls, or Facebook messages...tried to contact everyday for a month straight and still no response. This has now been turned over to the Attorney Generals office.
My jeep rubicon came with these lights but without the Af h4 to h13 adapter. I have the headlight out of voltage codes. Awesome headlights but I'm put off by this company because they have no phone #

Their website keeps offering discounts and specials, so they are not out of business. A search with their name and scam brings up a lot of others that did not receive their orders also. They also charge your credit card at time of purchase, not when shipped.
Yaaaa, my dad's friend thought he'd be nice and help me put my grill back on...he dropped my headlight on concrete and demolished it. You dropping that baby gave me ptsd
