- Howdy guys! This time on the AutoEdits Jeep Wrangler Rubicon build up and upgrade series... I install a set of Baja Designs LP6 Driving Combo lights and a set of four rock lights. Plus, I'll go in depth on how I wired everything in to my Jeep with the Painless Performance Trail Rocker system but the same techniques apply to any switch system.
Here's a link to the Baja Designs website for more information on the lights: www.bajadesigns.com/Products/...
Head on over to the AutoEdits Amazon store to get the best deal on them!

Realized someone might look for the switch panel I have so here it is www.painlessperformance.com/w...
There are lots to chose from on the market so pick what you like best, this one has worked well for me and I have one in the Mustang as well!

I will stop dead in my tracks to watch one of your videos. You are concise,informative ,pleasant. You have a manner about you that pulls the viewer in. There isn’t a tuber I enjoy more. I don’t even own a Jeep and I watch!! Best of luck to you! Grow this channel!!!!
Thank you so much for this... I really appreciate the support and encouragement! I'm trying but it just seems to be you and a few friends watching at this point... LOL
Always a good day when a new AutoEdits video is posted.
You're the best!
Your videos are always so detailed, really appreciate that. And you're not afraid to admit and show your mistakes. Hope that spider bite is nothing serious.
Stay healthy.
Thank you so much... the swelling went down by the next day but it did hurt pretty bad... felt silly ... lol
Hey Jason, I am new to the jeep mods but this video has helped me tremendously! Love your content, keep up the good work.
Another great episode of getting lit with Jason! Thanks for showcasing top shelf equipment on your jeep.
Thank you dude! Yeah, these parts are next level... I go out and look at it in the driveway because it's special and you can tell.
Man I couldn't tell you how many times I've come back to watch your videos for inspiration and ideas over the years. You are my favorite youtuber, literally. Haha. As always love the content you provide us Jason, looking forward to the Fusion 60 video!
Wow, thanks!
I made he same mistake a few times forgetting heat shrink, So much neater when using it. I now sit down and assemble the harnesses so I won’t forget details like... heat shrink lol!
Nice, it's a trick for sure!
Another great video my friend! Love the lights!👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Really, love the channel. Your insights have taken my skills to a whole new level. Appreciate all the content and the detailed discussion around each and every upgrade! Keep it up!
Great to hear! Appreciate finding out about the other folks these videos might have helped out in some way! Thanks!
Love the installs every one you do is perfect camera angles like never before
Thanks so much for the encouragement!
So informative on how to do this install this lighting system , yes i have for got shrink wrap on wiring before. thank you for being so responsive on questions.
Thanks for watching! I'm really glad to have the opportunity to interact with some great folks here so thanks for being one of them!
Well done Jason. The lights look great. You have to refresh my memory on what “Ejecto” does. Also I’m loving the new logo with the plate over the tire. It really pops.
Thanks so much!!!! I have no idea what that means... I just saw it on someone else's rig and they seemed pretty cool so I copied it... I think it means ejecto seat... at least I hope that's what it means... LOL
I like where the front rock lights are mounted up high functional and they look cool win/win. I just bought some vintage NOS Sears amber fog lights. The old school aftermarket accesories use to be such nice quality. Your light seem to be right up there👍🇺🇸
Very cool!
Such a great video like always. I really look forward to see all of your videos, learn a lot specially the detail and perfection of doing things. Inspires to want have our own project's to do in our cars. Thanks a lot
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome videos. Very detailed. I want to do the same to my 2011 JK with the yellow led lights. Love it.
Love watching your videos!
Glad you like them! I thankful that you're here!
Jason, the purpose of the relay is so that you can use a lower rated switch circuit so that you are not running the full amp draw of what you are controlling through the switch.
True, I mis-spoke in that clip but the end result is that we don't want people running lights straight through most switches.
Looking amazing man! You've got a serious light setup 🔥
Appreciate it! Curious to see your thoughts on the camera bezel.
@@AutoEdits hope to have that installed soonish!
Awesome video, love the lights.
Thanks 👍
I should have a friend like you in Arizona to install my Baja😊
HA!
Nice , amazing lights , lp6 is on my list for sure .
They are really awesome... I've gone out in the driveway a couple times now just to look at them!
@@AutoEdits yeah they look sick , i just finished swapping both front and rear axles , next 40s and better lights after 😁
Oh man those are sick. My dream lights ❤
Yeah, they rule!
Great content as always.
Much appreciated!
I haven’t even watched the vid and Ik it’s gonna be a banger
You are the freakin best!
You cracked me up several times during this one....”laser beams”....etc. but I’m definitely using dumb stick!! Hehe
HA! Thank you for the chuckle!!!
Love ur videos man!!!
I appreciate it!
Great video! Super picky electrician approved!
Thanks! 👍
love the jeep! so dope
Thanks a ton!
I really want to put my lockers on my switch pod but I'm afraid the kiddos might hit them on the road. I'm thinking of mounting something to my vector bar, off to the left, so no one can. Great video's Jason! Thanks for doing what you do.
That's a great idea! Thanks for being here!
I gave up on contacting your neighbors for an Airbnb rental, but dam the guys in your neighborhood must be like - " Hey Honey Jason just added another freaking mod that I want, hence the guys love you, the NON jeep, ram, and resto mod gals not so much. Baja Designs was a great choice, I have my eyes set on their new XL Linkable light setup for the roof rack light bar and LP4's for the bumper and two mounted in the rear.
I think the LP4's are perfect for most applications and the LP6's are sooo much. I've seen a few shots of the linkable lights and love them!
With everyone rocking the Pro6 I wanted something different. Well wishing you, your family, and Pinto the best, stay safe.
I miss watching you build up your Jeep. I think you should buy another stock Jeep so we can watch you build it up again.
That is a crazy interesting idea...hmmm
I’m here!🙌🏼
Thank you!
I've never heard "dumbstick" before today but I will absolutely be using that in the future LMAO...thanks for the video and the vocabulary extension
Glad to help! LOL!
Jarred is the man
Yep!
Great video! One suggestion, you should have connected and powered on the rock lights before mounting them so you can make sure you like the placement of the lights.
Good tip! Never even occurred to me while shooting this...LOL
Baja Designs...American made!🇺🇸
Heck yeah!!!! They are just a couple hours from me here in SoCal!
Kind of an overkill solution, but you could install a Lingenfelter STOV-004 speed activated switch to kill power to your locker switches at programmable speeds. So they would essentially never be able to be activated at a certain speed to avoid accidentally turning them on.
I am using 2 of the speed switches to control a couple things in my own build and they are great!
Absolutely love your vids but it's time to step into a JL! I loved my '15 JKUR to death for over 5 years but man I'm loving my '20 JKUR just that much more!
I hear ya but I got this thing paid off and am gonna get another year or so!
@@AutoEdits Completely understood!! It is nice to be payment-free for at least a little while!!
Hey buddy idk if you remember me I work at canyon muffler you brought
Your Dodge Ram in a while
Back we talked about your channel I’m
Glad I stumbled across it. Hope
All is well
Howdy dude, of course. I don't remember what I was looking to do on the Ram a the time... I have the Flowmaster on there now... I do need your help dialing in the Mustang exhaust if you are up for it! Would like to get that to the rear of the car but the suspension will make that tough. The turn downs at the axle are a bit much czcams.com/video/hbi4cSuE5Oc/video.html
@@AutoEdits unfortunately I do not work there anymore and I am focusing on more off-road production stuff for Tacoma’s. But I know Neal and Edwin will be more then happy to fit your needs. I can always come
Look and give you my best suggestion if you would like.
Another stellar video! Can you share on what you did with your seats?
Thank you! Those are PRP Seat covers that are going through a now windows for over a month torture test and still look brand new! Kind of showing the difference between the less expensive options and the more pricey versions... so far I love them!
No Pinto, but you still got a like. Cool upgrade.
She came out for a minute and was all about getting back in the air conditioned house... LOL I'm glad you're still here!!!
Excellent Video. I've been thinking about adding under carriage/rock lights to my M923A2 - Those Ambers look great! Bummer about the spider bite. Is that a P51 Mustang RC plane hanging from the rafters? So Cool.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I'm a life long R/C dork and that's just my favorite airplane of all time.
Don't you just wish you had those lights when you took a trip up North and the road was washed out. Great install video. I would just suggest to use magnets on the back of your lights. It would allow you to move around the lights to get the best location for your rock lights.
Oh man... yes!!!!! Great suggestion about the rock lights!
Great video. I was hoping for more night footage. I own some BD lights and I was curious how all those BD lights looked on the trail in the dark dark.
More to come!
Big big like.
Big thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice video. I like how hyper you get. Is your bracket flipped?? I saw BD had the adjustment bolt slot to the rear. Yours is in the front. Small detail I’m curious about while waiting to install.
Thank you for a great video and at mean time your simplicity on explaining things. However, how do you manage all the load on the car battery, please explain in detail. What should I do to maintain the correct electrical supply without draining my battery.
Hey thanks for the comment! The stock alternator makes enough power for a few accessories like these lights and such so if the engine is running your battery will be fine. If you add more lights and a big stereo and a fridge... maybe get a high output alternator. Pretty easy!
Thank you so very much.
First to watch that’s cool
You got it!
Great video thanks,I was just wondering why you don’t use some sort of grill insert to protect the radiator?
Never really made it to the list of concerns... should I be?
AutoEdits I put some clip in inserts on mine as I was always concerned road debris may do some damage especially following other cars/trucks.This obviously doesn’t bother you?
Great video. BDs are pricey but def best I’ve seen. Btw- have my lockers set up same. Any help on locating your install vid for that? Like to double check what I did
Thanks! Here's the video czcams.com/video/SpTk_R3PPfs/video.html but it changes year to year on the JK's mine is 2013. The relays are in the same spot but the wire colors change a bit from what I understand.
That's clean.....it's about time the ram gets a paint job tho.
I hear ya... just don't have the money right now... going to have to wait for a while.
@@AutoEdits it's cause you buying Baja design lights lmao......use black rifle coffee club 20% off and buy rigid LEDs.....we know Baja work but honestly how often do you run trails at night? The story till now is only CZcamsr I see running crazy stuff day and night or in dark woods due to tree coverage. Yourself and Brad at trail recon also turn cameras off and don't show us night driving.
Top dollar would use Nord-Lock washers.
All my favorite influencers are getting these lights and I'm over here wondering if I should get nilight.
The unfortunate thing I've seen over the years is that with lights... you get what you pay for. Everyone I've seen that has done a cheap alternative video has eventually replaced those click bait lights for mainstream ones.
Hey! Are you still doing any kind of discounts for power stop brakes? My friend just bought a 2018 JKU and mentioned he likely needs new breaks! Keep up the amazing content!
I don't have any discount codes at the moment... if you click the link to my Amazon store... it is the least expensive I can find. It's $353 right now and sometimes goes as low as $320
On the backlight kit, can you just affix the connector anywhere on the yellow wire? Such as under the dash? I used the 3 way switch and mounted near the bottom of the steering wheel. Just looking for simplest way to enable this feature.
Probably... I just grabbed the closest wire out in the engine bay.
They look great. I have an idea. No I just stole it from Ken Block. Choose a pitch black 2 minute rally style route and see how fast you are with each set of lights.
I like how you operate... thanks dude!
That switch is called a 3 position switch
True, but more specific as an on-off-on for this switch panel.
Hello, great install video. Quick question on your harness, Looks like you went with the 640167 x2 and a 640176 for back light. Is there an advantage getting a Lp6 Pro Harness 640172? I guess the switch is not needed on your set up so maybe your way cheaper vs getting a complete kit :) Thanks
Yes, since I didn't need the switch and relay... the backlight harness is all I needed! If you have a switch panel you could do the same.
Did you ever actually go back And make a video regarding hooking up your lockers. I know you briefly mention it during the switch panel install and I believe you said you considered making a separate video for the lockers as well.
I never did do a follow up video on that since the wire colors changed during the years but it was as simple as splicing into the colors I mentioned in that Trail Rocker install video. Which is relevant on the 2013 model.
AutoEdits yeah, mine were certainly different for a 2016. It took awhile to find reliable sources to tell me which pins was the correct one
What cameras do you use the quality of videos and tuffness is unbelievable never had that good of camera racing my IMCA modified
Thanks! I use a Gopro8 (great camera) and a Canon camcorder. Let me know if you'd like me to do a video on how to set them up and such.
@@AutoEdits that would be great i plan on recording my build and adventure good and bad in my jeep
Hi Jason ... Firstly congratulations for you video ... Based in this video I decided to buy my LP6s .... Just one question .... You talked about two accessories to buy with the Lp6.... Harness Kit and other one that I can’t identified ... Could you send me the link for each one pls!? LP6 only work with these two accessories? Best Regards and Congrats again for the video!
Howdy and thanks so much for checking out the video! The only harness you really need is this one www.bajadesigns.com/Products/LP9-Harness-2-light-max-Pro.asp
The backlight wiring harness just has a couple of extra ways of splicing into running lights and I didn't end up needing it.
Love video and lights. Wouldn't it be easier for baja designs to put connectors on wires before sending for that price. I know dcs lights do and utilize frame rail to hide wires. Seems like a flaw from baja. Keep videos coming
I think the answer is (but I'm no expert) that they sell the lights separate and installing connectors on them would require the end user to commit to that style. It's probably a good suggestion that once they get bundled into a "kit" they have the connectors installed but that's just me.
I agree. Wasnt sure if it was a kit or not
Can you drive with the low beams on the road?
Curious if the backlight draws significant wattage. If I piggyback off an accessory it shouldn’t draw too much right?
It is a very low draw, I run them off the corner marker lights.
Would have liked to have seen a full night time view with the lights on
Hello. It looks like you took the wiring for the LP6 lights out of the proctective harness. Is this correct. I would have to do this to run the wiring inside of my bumper.
Yes, that would work fine.
Hi, I installed the lp6 to my jeep JL high beam to aux1 and low beam to aux 2. Can I turn both aux high beam and low beam on at the same time? Thx
Nope. High beam automatically activates all the LEDs... if you put power to both circuits at the same time it could cause problems.
Is the low the flood and the high the spot? I could barely concentrate on what you were saying after you talked about the widow biting your head. My jaw dropped and ptsd from living in Granada Hills came flashing back. I’ve only seen 2 widows since moving to Oklahoma and thankfully the brown recluse we do have don’t usually climb up into the vehicles. I find them under stuff. Hope you healed well Jason.
Ha! Yes, the low is the driving flood lights and the high is ALL the lights and it's pretty great.
Do I need to have a switch that has a on/off/ on or can I use a on/off switch for both the high beam and low beam. But I know not to run them at the same time.
You could do that but I don't recommend it.
👍👍👍👍👍
👍
Can u give me the link to your front bumper? I like everything about it. Tks
MetalCloak Stubby Front Bumper Swap for the Jeep Wrangler JKU
I'm really interested in getting a pair but I'm afraid of someone stealing them. How easy would that be for someone?
You could get what they call safety bolts which need a key to remove like a wheel lock. Call baja designs and ask!
So are you able to run the lp6 as a running light… just not the blinker correct?
Yes, I have them going on as a running light.
Awesome video. Did you kill the spider.
It crawled under my tool box while I was freaking out... LOL
KILL THE SPIDER!!!!💀
Time to bomb the garage.
Why wouldnt you want to be able to run both the low and high beams at the same time on the Baja bumper lights?
That's exactly what happens when you switch to high beams so there is no need to run the same power to both wires at the same time. The internal circuits are not designed for that... plus... added bonus... I've been in some bad weather and it was so nice to run the low beams without disturbing regular traffic and they made a huge difference.
I can't decide if I want amber or clear when I buy mine.
Personally I like the looks of the clear white lights when not in use but driving is much nicer with the amber for sure.
I feel your pain. I have been attacked an Stung by hornets🐝🐝 while running wires for my rock lights.
Ouch!!!
Did you get the rock lights in the amber option? And would you say they match the amber pods pretty well or do they come off as more yellow?
They match up great.
@@AutoEdits Thank you!
Any way to show how to crimp the connectors this is the most difficult part and no one shows how tooo?
Give this video a look
czcams.com/video/rUwv3nc5SzE/video.html
Are you using a fuse and relay for rock lights
Yes, the Painless trail rocker switch panel has all that integrated in. Makes adding stuff like this very easy.
Are the BD rock lights really more yellow than 'amber' as it looks like in the video?
Amber
@@AutoEdits OK, thanks. They really look yellow, like yellow gun shooting glasses in the video, so I was just wondering. I really want 'something close' to incandescent amber parking/running lights. Again thanks for the making the video and replying.
Was working on wiring these and noticed no matter which wires I power (white or red) I can only get the low beams to power, did you run into that?
Nope. Wired up exactly like I show in the video.
@@AutoEdits Yeah I thought you could wire high beam directly but relay is needed (at least in my set up using the Trigger 6 shooter), just a noob mistake on my part lol
What the fudge man, hecking spiders
Right... and I didn't even get it on camera... would've been hilarious cause I screamed like a little girl.
I am just curious, why did you chose to replace your JW Speaker lights?
That's easy... not really a comparison... totally different class of components. Plus, I didn't really like the oval shape I picked and really think the all round lights look amazing. I'll either use the old lights as rear facing lights on both the truck and jeep.
Gotta be careful, Jason. You started to say you weren't happy with them. You do that, you don't get cool free toys.
Not happy with what?
@@AutoEdits After you pulled onto the cul de sac and stood at the front of your Jeep, you said you weren't really pleased with the placement but they seemed to be doing ok, you'll have to see how they do on the trail, but you don't know... As a prime social media influencer you can only say astoundingly glowing comments about free toys or you don't get free toys. Baja Designs makes great racing accessories, and not something that we could question a review of.
Sorry, the joke didn't communicate well. I've subscribed to you for a few years and feel that I've gotten to know you and consider you one of a half dozen or so that I think could be buddies. Just bustin a buddies balls a bit.
Do you think you'll get a new Jeep and ball buddy? Lots in shelters that would thrive on your love and attention.
Yeah, the tone gets lost sometimes in a comment. All good, thanks for the clarification. I'm sticking with the JK for a while and definitely need more time before getting another pup. 👍
How do you clean your engine bay?
click the link in the description of this video for the product and I explain czcams.com/video/TFtBrPardTA/video.html
I got stung by a wasp on the back of my head and now I'm starting to go bald there. Maybe the spider bite will make your hair start growing back.
That would be weird to grow hair just on the front corner of my head... lol
Where did you find those seat covers 💺

Your gonna pick up so many chicks with those lights now.
Sweet!

Your neighbors are going to go blind! lol 😆.😳
They are very understanding about this stuff... LOL
I hate when I forget to use the shrink tape lol. I’m so anal that I’ll just resoder.
That's dedication...sometimes I do but needed to get this done!
I don’t see why their worth almost $700
$900 for 2 LED lights, and $300 for the rock lights..............................Hard Pass!
you're super cool
@@AutoEdits Thank you!
Those are some disappointing rock lights, I expect alot more because they are baja designs
Not sure what else you would expect them to do but be durable and emit light. Maybe they should play a song?
@@AutoEdits they aren't bright.
ok
