LED Tail Lights

well, they are anodized billet aluminum housings. so they just up the quality about ten fold over the plastic boxes

I like that they don't lose the look of the traditional jeep lights, I don't really care for the look of most LED tail lights for that reason

but I grew up driving 70's era CJ's, so that may have something to do with my tastes towards how Jeeps should look

My inspiration for the design was to keep the Jeep Tail light look but move it closer to the body so they don't get broken as easily. That and I despise round tail lights on Jeeps and I don't like cutting a hole in the body to install any light. Once you define that criteria, it's pretty easy to see why the Savvy stuff is the way it is.

The pair of housings is well over a hundred bucks per pair once you get them ready to glue the side marker light in. The marker lights starts as DOT compliant markers and then get machined to fit. It all adds cost and the lights aren't for everyone. If you have the need, you'll figure out pretty quickly how they solve your problem.
 
i can’t stand round tail lights either. I like the traditional look and the Savvy lights are on my wish list. They may seem expensive to some but I see a well designed product made with quality material. Just waiting to accidentally :D break one of my factory lights.

I didn't and don't design products for the average cheap ass Jeep owner. I design stuff that solves a problem. I don't try to make stuff that is more expensive than other items, I focus on the problem, the solution to it and then come up with a product. The vast majority of my stuff is for the discerning Jeep owner with a particular problem to solve and needs a great solution.

If you look at the Savvy Tub Rails, most will never need them. Those of us who have damaged tub rails to the point we can't get a soft top back on after a trip, understand their value and consider them to be money well spent.

Average cheap ass jeep driver checking in...

I'm really picky about the things I think "matter". In other words, I'm happy to spend big money on stuff that keeps us alive and on the road or prevent serious damage. So driveline stuff and armor makes sense.
But, I'm happy with my $14 round LED's (never liked the tractor supply looking stock lights).
I guess tail lights are just one of those things that are function over form for me. I replaced mine when the stock ones got smashed. I can't see me breaking 18 pairs of tail lights before I'm at room temperature. So spending big bucks on them doesn't make sense to me.

And if you were like me, you'd only be happy with round LED's on the backs of trailers where they belong. To each their own. Before this, I ran the stock tail lights flush mounted.
 
Just for @mrblaine :D

When I designed that tail light, I checked every place I could find including the LED supplier to source the factory plugs to make them plug and play. There were two things I discovered, one is that they will add them to the LED's, but at an exorbitant cost and minimum quantity, or I found them loose and had to order 10,000 of them to then be able to splice them on.

I even checked with the trailer t-harness suppliers and across the board, they all acted like I wanted to go into the T harness business and be a competitor. I had a quantity of 1000 lined up to purchase from Curt and at the last minute, they backed out and just starting hanging up on me when I called.

If you have a source, I'll be glad to try them.

Have you tried Digikey? They have almost every connector made. Hard to search on the site (for me at least), but they should have the right connector and will sell in small quantities. Hope this helps!
 
My recent no tail lights deal turned out to be both bulbs blown. Usually you blow one and replace both. Do incandescent bulbs hold up to off road pounding? I haven't done a lot of off roading, but I do live on a dirt road that has a rough section I like to take faster than I should. I think maybe that's what killed both bulbs. If so, then the switch to LED isn't a luxury some day upgrade. I don't want to try driving home from the desert with no brake lights.
