It’s very rare that any enthusiast would leave their vehicle completely stock, even if it was a daily driver. That’s because, frankly, stock is boring. And if you can place even a subtle, personal touch on your car, it can make a difference. It’s no doubt that the Jeep Wrangler JK is a highly capable off-road machine and the aftermarket offers plentiful goodies to beef it up even further. For the exterior, there are numerous taillight upgrades that perform better than the factory assembly, look cooler, and help to set your ride apart from the pack. You don’t need to wait for them to be damaged to ditch the stock assembly and enjoy brighter and further visibility with kits from highly reputable manufacturers. With that, Vivid Racing has put together the following list outlining four of the best Jeep Wrangler JK taillights to help you on your way. Of course, we offer plenty of other options, which you can check out at the link below.

1. Anzo USA Taillight Assembly
The Anzo USA taillight assembly for the Jeep Wrangler JK is guaranteed to improve your truck’s appearance while providing the ultimate functionality. They come in a durable black housing with clear lenses to enhance the styling of your Jeep’s back end. The dark appearance is both stealthy and provides a more aggressive appeal for your off-roader. Not only does the setup look the part, but it also performs exceptionally well when it comes to standing up to the rigors of daily driving and off-roading alike. That’s because the brand takes great care to rigorously test every single light in a thermo-hygrometer (temperature and humidity chamber) and rain-resistant tester to state, federal, and international standards.
All Anzo lighting products are designed using CAD/CAM computerized equipment and tested using 3-dimensional machines to guarantee the best quality possible. These DOT-compliant (to SAE standards) LED lights are completely plug-and-play and come with the required wiring to make installation a breeze using basic hand tools. There are no modifications needed to your truck in order for them to work; simply use your Wrangler’s stock mounting locations and hardware. It’s important to note, however, that these tail lamps do not fit models with the stock LED taillights.

Designed and engineered right here in the USA, like all DV8 products, this package was trail tested to ensure it can stand up to the elements of rough terrain and harsh weather conditions. Impact-resistant, the taillight housing protects the bulbs from dirt and moisture while the LED lights work efficiently to provide added illumination for anyone trailing behind you.

3. Morimoto XB LED Taillights
The Morimoto XB LED tail lamps for the Wrangler JK outperform the stock lighting setup with a difference you can really see. It’s no wonder why this product has been a top-seller in the brand’s catalog for countless years and these new high-performance XB LEDs take visibility to the ultimate level. While they may appear drastic, these don’t look out of place on the JK like other aftermarket options. The geometric shape flows well with the body lines of your rig. The XB tails are available with a carbon effect bezel that still allows the center to illuminate red while looking more aggressive.
Not only do these taillights look great, but they are also well-built. The durable polycarbonate lens resists the test of time to keep your lights looking newer for longer. The injection-molded ABS housing is lightweight and also much stronger than other inexpensive alternatives on the market. While Morimoto’s XB tails are not the cheapest option for your Wrangler, they boast OE quality and fitment. After all, you get what you pay for. The Morimoto XB LED taillights are compatible with all JK Wranglers from 2007-2018 and completely plug-and-play; they swap right in place of the original tail lamps using all the stock mounting points.

Quadratec’s Wrangler JK taillights are super completely plug-and-play with weather-tight factory harness connectors. This kit has also been designed to work flawlessly with your signal flasher module. It comes with a resistor to eliminate that annoying hyper flashing too.
