Finally got the Tuff Rok Headlights. I decided to order them direct. Because they have a newer “Tornado” headlight beam, which looks better than the original imo, longer range.

1. Beam is fully sealed.
2. It’s DOT approved, and it’s also on the beam housing. So road legal.

install wasn’t to bad. Plan 2hours, 3 if you have a brush bar. (I had to remove it to get the new housing on.)

all in all I give it a 10/10. Because it’s literally the BEST upgrade option. Bar non.

Install difficulty:
2 of 5 (5 Being a Pro Mechanic or shop).

Required tools:
Socket wrench set.
philips screwdriver
looong philips to get side turn signal off.
drill + drill bit (to tap out rivots shown on instructions)
cutting tool (I used the drill bit as a saw, to cut away plastic for housing to fit right). NOT called out in instructions.

Note:
instructions are decent, support via text is great, but if you have a 98-2002, DRL is an easy Blue plugin to the “red” line as it’s a separate bulb. I’m guessing this does not exist in 03+?

here are the Pics.





Before the install. OEM lights and corner lights



After - Tuff Rok headlight housing with “Tornado” headlights.


After . Was later at night. This is all lights on lights are bright!

Rear of light. Note the blue Wire is needing to be properly wired for the halo led part to function.


Mounted. With the custom bracket without the fascia

.

Secret sauce = Patented adapter. This is well designed, and putting in a round sealed beam looks to be a standard design… to potentially allow other models. But the “tornado” light fits like oEM, and easy to swap if you don’t have a brush bar. 😬 these pop right in like the oem ones.



Pin adapters for side flashers (part of the housing) nice this is included with the install..



What the pin adapters connect to, as well as the parking light wiring. Both are part of the new housing(left pic is the back of the housing).. Which goes over the front.

Outside drivers side. 30’ from garage.


All in all. 100% plug & Play. New cover housing fits “ok”. I’ll have day photos to show what I’m talking about.

but worth the money for the upgrade for night driving imo.

 

I really wish they made a set for facelifted d2s. I've been considering getting a set and adapting them to work with my truck but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Coming from cars with factory xenons, its a bit tough going back to a halogen reflector even with a bright LED bulb fitted.

 

The headlights came with conversion cables. I’ll upload a pic. The are H4 wired by default. So it might with later. Just never tested? I didn’t have to use the extra wiring provided in the box

heres the pics . 😅




Extra wiring if you don’t have h4 which are direct plug and play

Diagram provided with the tornado kit… clear instructions

 

retrofit HID projectors into facelift housings..not hard to do.

 

I put LHD european spec lights into my 2003, The beam pattern is almost the same as those lights. The only difference in looks is that the upper parking light is clear instead of amber

 

Interested to see the fit and finish of the cover housing. I've heard it wasn't great, but not sure how bad it really is.

 

There are LED DOT headlights and round LED turn lights for Jeep ($80 in total on ebay). It shouldn't be to hard to make a mounting bracket/cover with a 3D printer for the facelift D2. I hate the stock because they get fogged in winter or after rain a lot. I tried with silicon already, but that didn't last long. I could sell my original headlights used on ebay easily to pay for such a kit. A set of original headlights is new over $1000.

 

Are there any coupon codes here for Tuff Rok?

 

What are your thoughts on the fit and finish and overall quality of the kit?

 

Did you look at any others? I love the TR signal lights but not so keen on the pod rear and head lights.
