HERE AT QUADRATEC we field a lot of questions from Jeep enthusiasts of varying skill and experience levels, and it can be somewhat tricky trying to share our knowledge with seasoned wheelers out there - all while not leaving out those first-timers just learning about Jeeps. With that in mind, we're excited to offer a stable of videos that seek to inform (and entertain) all levels of Jeepers out there.

We call it The Quadratec Academy.

Our goal with these video lessons is to share our experience with both veteran and novice Jeep enthusiasts. Each episode of this series will serve to educate one area of expertise - from 100-level basics like hardtop removal and storage, or maintenance and trail etiquette, all the way to more complex 300-level lessons such as picking the right line, winch and recovery technique, what to do in a rollover, and everything in between.

For this episode, we take a look at the new 2018 JL Wrangler's headlights. In previous models, removal involved pulling out the light assembly and replacing. Well, Jeep made a design change for the JL and the lights are now incorporated into the entire unit. While it is a bit bulkier to remove, it is still fairly simple. Let us show you how.
