LED Electric Side Steps for Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator: the Step That Lights Up
It's dark, you open the door of your Wrangler, and a step extends from the rocker panel while lighting up. That's exactly what these LED electric side steps for Jeep Wrangler do: motorized deployment, integrated light strip, and control via a dedicated app. They cover the Wrangler JK, Wrangler JL, and Gladiator JT, making them one of the few options to include the Gladiator pickup in the same range.
What App Control Actually Adds to a Wrangler
On most motorized steps, everything is fixed: the step extends when the door opens, period. Here, the app-controllable electric side step adds a layer of control: deploy or retract on demand, independently of the doors. This is useful more often than you might think—for accessing the roof and hardtop, loading the Gladiator's bed, or simply keeping the steps retracted when passing through a narrow space.
The lighting, meanwhile, plays on two fronts. Safety first: on such a tall vehicle, being able to see where you place your foot at night is far from trivial. Style next: a lighted side step for Jeep creates a signature on the ground that extends the bodywork, and that's what you notice first when the car is parked in the evening.
Aluminum, Steel, and IP67 Waterproofing: the Construction of This AKM Kit
The manufacturer describes a construction in aluminum alloy, combined with steel on certain structural parts, with a stated IP67 waterproof rating. This level means total protection against dust and resistance to temporary immersion: on a Jeep intended to go off-road and cross deep puddles, this is the most important feature on the spec sheet. An IP67 waterproof electric side step is not afraid of a pressure washer or a ford.
- Dedicated app control — deployment and retraction commanded on demand
- Integrated LED lighting — the foothold area is visible at night
- Stated IP67 waterproof rating — dust-tight and resistant to temporary immersion
- Gladiator JT compatible — the pickup is explicitly listed, which is rare
- Stated no-drill installation — installation instructions provided by the manufacturer
- Complete 2-side kit — driver and passenger sides delivered together
Wrangler JK, JL, Gladiator: Which Years Are Covered
The manufacturer's spec sheet indicates three periods: 2007-2017 for the JK, 2018-2019 for the early JL, and from 2020 for subsequent model years as well as the Gladiator JT. These generations do not have the same chassis mounting points: confirm your model and year before ordering your Jeep Gladiator electric side steps. The 2-door / 4-door distinction is also crucial on the Wrangler.
Is a Step That Lights Up Allowed in Traffic?
Lighting integrated into a side step is an auxiliary device intended for accessing the vehicle while stationary. We do not claim any road approval for this lighting function, and the use of any additional rocker panel lighting in traffic remains subject to current regulations. Use the lighting function while the vehicle is stationary, and find out about the rules applicable in your country before any other use.
Why Choose Your Jeep Side Step from Becquet Voiture
The Wrangler and the Gladiator hold an important place in our catalog of exterior accessories, and we favor references that bring an actual extra function—here, the app and the LED. We reproduce the technical sheet as is, regulatory caution included. Exchange in French before and after purchase.
Let a lighted step extend every time you get out: equip your Wrangler or your Gladiator.
