Reviews for Body Armor JK-5120 3rd Brake Light Kit for 97-18 Jeep Wrangler TJ, TJ Unlimited, JK & Unlimited JK
What I am looking for. Hard to rate until I see it
Good reviews
Features
Hard to find complete assembling with wires including in one
hard to find a light that looks OEM so I can pass safety inspections- this one works
Impressed for a $90 part. I'd buy again.
Pros:
Crazy bright...wish I had installed sooner for any tail-gaters.
Very easy to install.
Materials, construction, fit and finish seem to be top notch. It's made in china which is kind of a bummer but it might be the nicest construction/finish of anything I've seen from there.
Looks very good, I like the textured matte-black look.
Well packaged for shipping, zero damage and you can tell packaging is well thought out but not excessive.
Cons:
Not adjustable but you know that going in. It looks fine with a 35" spare, would probably be odd looking on a 33" or smaller tire.
TBD how it will hold up in Wisconsin winters but I'm trading my JK in for a JL so I'll never know. My guess is fine though, the powder coat looks very good.
Small thing but came with ugly blue wire connectors so I used my own connectors w/ weather proof shrink insulation and then put another black shrink sleeve over the connection and a third over both connections for a clean look and to make sure it's weather proof. I'd suggest getting some weather proof connectors for the install for a few bucks to install properly.
Tall enough to be seen over spare
Worked well for my new aftermarket bumper with swing out tire carrier. Only minor gripe is that the leads barely long enough to reach inside tailgate to hook to existing brake light wires. Perhaps they wanted you to use part of old light wire? Either way scotch lock quick splices so much easier. Bright light, easy install, just wished for another 6" of wire on it.
I have 2002 jeep wrangler, mounts up well but the light quit working 9 months of having it installed. wires were shielded from the elements...
Looks solid but unfortunately it quit working after 3 weeks. I even had the wiring connections sealed from the elements.
