XtraGlow Smoked Halo Square LED Tail Lights for 1976–2006 Wrangler & CJ — 2pc Bolt-In Replacement

XtraGlow smoked Halo square rear tail light assemblies replace factory lamps on 1976–2006 Wrangler and CJ models, delivering bright LED brake, turn, reverse and marker illumination with a distinctive smoked lens.

These LED combination tail lights are a bolt-in style replacement designed for Jeep Wrangler TJ/YJ and CJ-series vehicles spanning model years 1976 through 2006. The kit includes both driver and passenger side units plus side marker lights, and replaces several OE part numbers. It is engineered to upgrade visibility and style with a smoked lens and integrated Halo LEDs but requires basic wiring and trimming to fit—this is not a true plug-and-play retrofit.

How bright and complete is the lighting array?

Each assembly integrates multiple LED banks to handle brake, tail, turn, reverse and license illumination. The kit combines Halo brake/parking/turn LEDs with separate backup and license plate LEDs for a comprehensive lighting solution.

• 32 red Halo LEDs for brake, parking and directional signals
• 18 white LEDs dedicated to reverse/back-up lighting
• 6 LEDs for license plate illumination and 3 reflector LEDs per side
• Smoked lens for a subdued look without sacrificing output

Will these fit my Wrangler or CJ and what modifications are needed?

The housings are intended to replace factory square tail lamps on many Wrangler TJ and YJ and CJ5/CJ7/CJ8 models, but they are not a simple plug-in swap for all vehicles. Installation requires removing the original lens and lamp, cutting the stock tail lamp pigtail, and splicing the new wires; the assemblies mount with bolts spaced at about two inches.

• Compatible years include 1976–1986 CJ7, 1976–1983 CJ5, 1981–1985 CJ8, 1987–1995 YJ, 1997–2006 TJ
• Bolt-in replacement with ~2-inch bolt distance — verify hole alignment before final mounting
• Expect to cut and splice the factory pigtail; hardware supplied
• Minor trimming or bracket adaptation may be needed on some models

How do I wire these LEDs and what compatibility issues should I know?

The wiring color codes are provided to help match the lamp functions to your vehicle harness. Because many older Jeeps use incandescent bulbs, you may encounter hyper-flash or rapid blink with LED signals; resistors or an LED-compatible flasher module can correct that behavior (resistors not included).

• White = ground, blue = reverse light
• Black = tail/license/marker light, red = stop/turn light
• If stock system is incandescent, add resistors or an LED flasher to prevent hyper-flash
• Confirm factory wiring colors before splicing to avoid miswiring

Which OEM part numbers do these replace?

The assemblies are listed as direct replacements for multiple OE references, making it easier to confirm fitment before ordering. Check the side-specific part numbers to match left and right applications.

• Left side references: 56018649, 56018649AD, 56016721, CH2800120, CH2800161
• Right side references: 56018648, 56018648AD, 56016720, CH2801120, CH2801161
• Use these numbers to cross-check against your existing lamp part

Who is this for? If you own a Wrangler TJ/YJ or a CJ-series Jeep from the listed year ranges and want a modern LED upgrade with a smoked, low-profile look—while comfortable performing basic wiring and minor fitting work—this XtraGlow Halo tail light kit is a solid option. It’s best suited for DIY mechanics, off-road enthusiasts, and restorers seeking improved illumination and a custom appearance, not for buyers expecting a plug-and-play OEM-equivalent swap without modification.
