Baja Designs DOT LP6 Headlight Kit | Amber DRL | Jeep JK Wrangler 2007–2018 | SKU: 448311

The Baja Designs DOT LP6 Headlight Kit (448311) is a complete, direct-fit LED headlight replacement for 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK with integrated amber daytime running light rings. This is not an auxiliary pod — it is a DOT-compliant primary headlight replacement that meets federal motor vehicle safety standards for street use. Direct-fit JK mounting brackets and a plug-and-play wiring harness are included. No cutting, no drilling, no fabrication.

2018 owners — read before ordering. 2018 was a split production year. Both the JK (final year) and the JL (first year) were built simultaneously. The JK and JL use different headlight housings — the wrong kit will not fit. If your 2018 Wrangler is a JL, this kit does not fit. See the JL platform guide below.

For clear DRL on the JK platform, see 448310.

Installation Notes

2018 generation confirmation is mandatory before ordering. 2018 produced both JK and JL Wranglers simultaneously. The headlight housings are not interchangeable. Pull your VIN and confirm your generation at the NHTSA VIN decoder or contact your dealer before placing an order for either JK or JL kit.

Headlight aim is required after installation. DOT compliance requires correct headlight aim per FMVSS standards. Incorrect aim creates glare hazard for oncoming traffic and is a legal violation regardless of whether the headlights are DOT compliant. Verify aim with a headlight aiming tool or at a qualified shop after installation. This is not optional.

Amber DRL legal status varies by jurisdiction. DOT compliance on the headlight beam does not extend to DRL color regulations in every state. Verify amber DRL compliance with your state DMV or DOT before road use. For jurisdictions where amber DRL is restricted, see the clear DRL variant 448310.

Direct-fit installation. JK-specific mounting brackets are included — no cutting or drilling required. Follow Baja Designs installation instructions for correct bracket orientation and torque specifications.

Plug-and-play wiring. The included harness is JK connector compatible — no splicing required. Seat all connectors fully and verify secure connection before road use.

The Obsidian Take

The DOT LP6 Headlight Kit is the correct choice for a JK owner who wants a complete, street-legal primary headlight upgrade with no fabrication, no sourcing of separate components, and no compliance questions on the beam itself. Brackets, harness, and DOT-compliant pods come in one box — install, aim, and drive.

The amber DRL is a preference choice within the JK platform, not a performance differentiator. If your jurisdiction restricts amber DRL or you want a cleaner white ring appearance, run 448310. If amber DRL is legal in your area and you want the classic look, this is your kit.

If you are on a JL or JT platform, this kit will not fit regardless of how close the model years look on paper — the JK and JL headlight housings are not interchangeable. Run 448303 or 448309 for your platform.

The LP6 DOT kit is what a complete headlight upgrade looks like when nothing is left to figure out after the box arrives.

Common Questions

How do I know if my 2018 Wrangler is a JK or JL?
Check your VIN at the NHTSA VIN decoder at nhtsa.gov/vehicle/VIN — the decoder will identify your generation. You can also check your door jamb sticker or confirm with your dealer. Text (469) 407-7538 and we'll help confirm before you order.

Is headlight aim included or do I need to go to a shop?
Aim is not performed by the kit — it is a required post-installation step. A headlight aiming tool can be purchased separately or a qualified shop can perform the aim. Skipping this step is a safety hazard and a legal violation.

Does DOT compliance mean it is legal everywhere?
DOT compliance means the headlight beam meets federal motor vehicle safety standards. Amber DRL color regulations vary by state and are separate from headlight beam compliance. Verify amber DRL legality with your state DMV or DOT before road use.

What is the difference between 448311 and 448310?
448311 (this listing) has an amber DRL ring. 448310 has a clear (white) DRL ring. Both fit the same JK platform and are otherwise identical.

Will this fit my JL?
No. The JK and JL use different headlight housings. For JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator, see 448303 (amber DRL) or 448309 (clear DRL).
