I can't order LED signature headlights on the black diamond. Anyone know how I can add them after?

Buy them on ebay or from Ford and install them. They are plug n play. But not cheap.

Is it bad that I personally prefer the looks of the lower trim headlights? Would like the projector beam and halo DRL but don’t like the overall looks of the signature headlights.

The signature lights are not projector beam. They use reflectors just like the lower level headlights. I actually prefer the looks of the basic LED headlights too. The Halo just screams Jeep. I mean they are cool looking. Just not very original.

And the thing with any headlight or taillight with an LED trim ring or DRL is once that LED trim starts to fail they look like garbage. Take a look at some older Durangos, Darts and Chargers with the "racetrack" LED taillight that has started to fail.

So are you saying you'd trade sig lights for normal? I'll do it if you have the sig lights.

And to me, I prefer the sig lights over regular. I feel as thought this "half lit" headlight looks like shit. Almost makes them look square.

BTW, I heard from a dealer that the sig lights through the parts department are around $1,700.

I have a Black Diamond on order so I'll have the regular lights.

As far as the headlights the main part of them is the same. They both use a dual LED/dual reflector housing. The top is active for low beam and both for high beam. The only difference between the two headlights is the halo ring and indicator bar.

They are very similar to Trucklites LED headlights.

Well yeah, I get that. the regular and sig would look the same aside from the sig part. But at least the sig part gives you that round look. The regular doesn't.

But hey, we each like what we like.

Can't see what they look like from the driver's seat. :p

As long as the light output is good I'm good. ;)

It's funny you say that, because I said the same damn thing when I switched from a BB to a BaseSquath... I'll never see it.

Then, driving in front of the BIL last week (he has the BB w/sig lights), I was like "Damn that looks so much better from the front". Now I find myself drooling over the sig lights on eBay trying to convince myself to drop $1,000 on them :( And IF you knew me, you'd know I don't like to spend money like that. I'd rather put $30 pod lights on my truck before dropping $300+ for a nice set of KC's (yeah, old school!)
