We Do Lighting Better Because We Test! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I installed these on my 2015 about a year ago and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Guys are great to work with and the product is amazing. Thanks so much HR
So glad they are working well for you, thank you for the support! If you need anything else just let us know, we are here to help! Have a great rest of your day!
These are awesome. I bought the 6000k 55w kit and put it in my 2014 Grand Cherokee... Hella difficult to remove the stock bulb, but once its out, these are easy AF to install and look incredible. I can finally see more than 15 feet in front of me.
And my balast went out...
Myles Gelóneck Yeah that’s the reason why I haven’t gone HIDs, I hear too many problems with ballasts that stop working and bulbs not igniting, especially where I live where below -30° is pretty common in winter. Good quality LEDs work nicely and don’t give as much trouble.
Led plug and play bulbs for half the price and the easiest install were good enough for me👍🏻
Do you remember what brand LEDs you purchased?
iRolLow MostPlus CSP LEDs are the best and less than $40
Definitely buy a ZES CSP chip that's the type of led
I had a question for you about the selection, are all of the lamps you installed 4300K OEM White? Thanks.
Awesome video! Exactly what I needed to get me started.
Glad we could help!
Very informative and a big help. Thx
Glad it was helpful!
on the low beam link, when choosing the year of your vehicle, there's an extra charge for a hardness only for the 2015. What kinda of harness is needed? does this mean they're not plug and play?
Can you test each side as you go? Or do you need to do both sides first?
ps. the ecu doesnt need to be unscrewed. the bracket slides up and down to remove it.
Very nice video!
What year wk2 is this that you did vid demo?
Great video brother. Thank you.
You got it!
Thanks for the video, it is very helpful. I have a '14 JGC and was planning to do this upgrade. Can you tell me or do you have a video of where you mounted all the ballasts? Thanks
Thank you for the comment! The ballasts can be mounted wherever is convenient, no real worries on any specific mounting area. Grab a couple zip ties and hang the ballasts from any factory wire loom or somewhere to the body of the car. You could also 3M Tape it to the back/side of your headlight housings as well. :)
I found on my 2015 Jeep that is was not necessary to remove three bolts on the computer as the video states at the 00:20 sec mark. The bottom left bolt proved to difficult to remove until I saw a clamp to next to the top left bolt. Just push back and the computer slides up and out.
All American Rides on your 2015 did you have to buy the extra harness that the website recommends?
What about 2011-15 ford explorer
You guy's need to do videos on the 14-18 Jeep Cherokee and 06-08 (4th gen) Dodge Ram.
Stay tuned! Thanks for watching!
Great vid and website
Would you recommend HID over LED on the Gr Cherokee ?
Hid for Distance, LED for foreground light. I always stick to HID's. In my experience between factory or aftermarket LEDs, I get poor luminosity in wet weather. But HIDs still light the way in all weathers as long as you don't exeed 5500k
Hello, please tell me the marking of light bulbs on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, if I'm not mistaken H11 ??? THANK YOU VERY MUCH
They are H11..
Great video, I have a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude with halogen bulbs from factory
Is there a list of all parts required to achieve these results you can send me.
Thank you in advance
Here is the link to our Jeep options.

Hi, don't you need a relay harness with these HID's on the Jeep ? I've tried lots of HID kits non of them work, keeps flashing and eventually turn off completely
:(
Adrian Toia yeah same happened to me get a set of canbus relays and you wont have anymore issues
thanks for borrowing the clip of my jeep in the offroad intro to your video...………… make sure to cut me a check!!!!!
You can't be so low on cash that your crying over your clip that was used. Btw did your video at the time have any copyrights?
@@nomi4905 I am pretty sure he was making a sarcastic comment, but as an etiquette, you should ask for permission or at least give a video credit. If its not a big deal just run your Jeep over a mud hill for the intro. Otherwise, you are just being lazy and cheap by copying stuff.
@@singhhundal1 I don't think he was being sarcastic.
The fact that he doesnt know the difference between cheque and check...I dont think he deserves one
Hi i was wondering if you could help me with the wiring on my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee is set up for HID lighting and the new lights that I purchase has a total different setup it's not the same plug the existing one on the vehicle it's like 14 wires on the plug the new ones is set up for led four wire , is there a conversion kit that I could plug into the existing one to attach it to the new lighting I guess it came like this from factory I'm not sure it's a 3rd generation I purchase new lens because the old ones will fade it very bad and the plugs are totally different any advice or help highly appreciate it thank you Robert

Can you do an install video for the upgraded headlights that only use 1 bulb for the low/high beam, or just suggest the correct bulb kit? The install should be very similar I assume.
What vehicle is this for? The process for a single bulb headlight would be very similar to this.
Hi i installed a Race Sport Amber/LED Light turn signal bulb for my 2015 grand Cherokee limited halogen light model. I used a race sport 25 watt resistor. I combined the resistor cable to the ground cable and turn signal cable I used a light tester and made sure of the connection was correct. The lights will turn on but when I turn on the vechile the instrument panels says both lights are out. So I moved the the driver and passenger side resistors connection from the turn signal to the park signal and only the driver side works great. The passenger side light will illuminate and flash however when I put the hazard lights on and turn signal I get the bulb light out warning. I know I used a different product but I also know mopar vechiles can be complicated. Any advices will be appreciated. Will a 50 watt resistor work? Thanks in advance
Those vehicles can be very complicated. To be honest, Since you're already this far, I would try a 50w 6 ohm resistor. If that doesn't work, Reach out to us and we will get you the correct parts for the vehicle. That may also include new turn signals that we have tested and found to work well on those Mopar vehicles.
Just got my HIDs hooked up on my 15 GC and test everything before I reinstalled the bumper. Everything worked perfect I go to start the vehicle and no they won’t work or flash on and off. No check engines and purchased the anti flicker as well. Idk if it’s a computer issues or what. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hey Josh, Send us an email at Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com and we will help you out.
Did you have to adjust the headlight level after install ?
Do the turn signal lights stay a bright white while driving. I have a 2018 Laredo and want led day time running lights but this would be just as good. If anyone has done this I would appreciate some pictures.
If you order Switchback turn signals, they will be white DRLs.
For the switchbacks in the turn signals, do they stay white or amber in DRL mode?
The Switchbacks remain White as DRLs and switch to Amber when a Turn Signal is actively engaged. :)
Quick question, I have a 2014 jeep grand cherokee limited with the hid led headlights, if i want the blue hid bulb can I change the bulb only or would I have to buy the whole hid with another ballast?
You can totally upgrade the bulbs in that headlight, and I have linked the bluest bulbs that we offer on our website for your vehicle! Link: headlightrevolution.com/osram-xenarc-d3s-66340-cbb-bulbs-7000k/
A question , I have a grand cherokee 2018 . The usb/aux lights keep on all the time no matter whether the engine is running or not . Is this normal ?q
I have the same concern with my 2018 but I'm guessing it's normal. On mine they usually turn off after an extended period of time even if something is plugged in
It turns off once you step away from vehicle and lock the doors
Did you have to use a relay harness on the 18 Grand Cherokee?
You will get the Morimoto Relay harness with the kit. It is needed. :)
Hey thanks for you video, i was trying to stick my hand in without taking off the computer and ripping skin! I wish there is a way to upgrade these lights to the LED DRL. I have a 2015 Altitude. Let me know if you know a way.
We’ll look into it and see what we can do!
Headlight Revolution thank you
Hi guys I just finished doing this upgrade, the same three here; Low Beam, Turn Signal and Fog Lights. I did it different than you guys. I laid the front cover down and worked it right from the front. I was able to hide the ballast and stuff better that way. One thing I didn't do (yet) is install the turn signal resister on the passenger side. There wasn't enough wire length to hide it on metal where I wanted. Drivers side was ok, but I need to put the other one under the hood like you did.
My turn signals outside blink ok. But the turn signal indicators on the dashboard are fast. Could this be because I am missing one resister on the passenger side?
Love these lights
Did you do this on a Jeep with factory halogen bulbs?
@@AaronD34 Yes, factory Halogen lights. The factory Low Beams and Fog lights are replaced along with adding a ballast units to each, all plug and play. The Turn Signal light is a bulb change and wiring in a small resistor unit to stop the fast flash on the instrument cluster.
It is vehicle dependent. Could be due to having the incorrect ohm rated resistor, or could be from wiring the resistor up incorrectly.
If it's an HR customer, link this video, it's very helpful. czcams.com/video/ADKjG3Z2L5w/video.html
Just bought a 2021 Grand Cherokee 80th Anniversary. It came stock with the premium lighting being HID bixenon lights. They aren’t nearly as bright or white as what I was expecting them to be. Is there a way to upgrade factory HIDs without breaking the bank? The car is brand new but I think the lights leave much to be desired.
Yeah absolutely!
I would recommend upgrading the bulbs to the Osram Night Breaker Laser bulbs!
What was the BULB # FOR THE FACTORY AND IS IT THE SAME AS MY 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUMMIT 5.7L 2018
Do you have HIDs or halogens from the factory in that vehicle? When youget us that information we will be able to get you some recommendations!
My gc has a rubber floppy cover on the lights, not a hard plastic one? Whats the deal with that?
Sounds like you may have the OEM HIDs, which do not have the ability to use these bulbs. If you do have that, then you will need to go with a set of D series HID bulb replacements. We would be happy to get that set up for you, just shoot us an email and we will get that sent over to you!
I did my fog lights and with the ignition on engine off all lights work properly . As soon as I turn the vehicle on my fog lights turn off .
Shoot us an email at Sales@headlightrevolution.com and we can assist you.
Did you use 55watt Ballasts for the Low Beams?
lilal455 3:29 looks like it says 35W on the tag of the bulb. Assuming that goes with the 35W ballast
Where did you mount the HID ballast?
They can be Zip-Tied to wherever is easiest and most out of the way. :) Anywhere works!
It would be nice if you showed how to install the anti-flicker harness that comes with the 2015 model grand Cherokee kits with this install. The kit I just received did not come with instructions or a wiring diagram. I have a shop and a grand Cherokee and your kit if you want to come out and film it lol
It can be tricky, We have plans to do a video on one soon to show people how to do it. In the meantime, If you have any trouble reach out to Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com and we will help you out!
I have a 2014 grand Cherokee and was told that led bulbs could not be installed due to housing.
Is this true and why HID is preferred? Where are u located? I need shop to complete HID install in this video.
Hey Maria, thanks for commenting!
You have projectors, projectors are designed to have light entering them from 360 degrees, LEDs only have light coming from two directions. So if you put an LED in a projector you wont get good light output and you will not have a beam pattern.
We are located in Minnesota, thanks again!

Maria Snowden, h11 led/hid fit in 2014 grand Cherokee
I have installed T30 Canbus H11 LED Fog Lights on my 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They work fine for 5 mins then they automatically switch off. If i switch off my car and start it again they work perfectly fine for 5 mins or so. Any idea why that is happening?
That sounds like a CANBUS issue, so I would say that you will need to get a pair of the H11 PWM Modules linked here: headlightrevolution.com/gtr-lighting-pwm-interface-module-h11-style-connectors/
Hi my fog light is no turn on i check fuse i good and check volt is only 4vol
For help troubleshooting send some more info over to us!

Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com
Could you have used an LED bulb on the fogs?
You sure could but HID will work better.
Do the hid’s for the 2018 fogs need to be canbus?
Canbus compatibility is built into the GTR lighting ballasts!
Could you update your kits' links in the description? They seem to be broken/not working. Would like to take a look at your pricing and order!
I am sorry to say that we do not have those kits anymore, and that is due to the change in regulation on LED and HID lighting. We are not longer allowed to recommend LED or HID for a headlight application on the road, we can only recommend them if they are for an offroad application. I can get you halogen recommendations, and I have linked the low and high beams below!
Low Beams: headlightrevolution.com/h11-halogen-osram-cool-blue-boost/
High Beams: headlightrevolution.com/9005-halogen-osram-cool-blue-boost/
How about an LED retrofit for the same model Grand Cherokee?
We tried LED headlight bulbs on this vehicle, but the projector low beam made a bad beam pattern when paired with an LED bulb. We believe in only offering solutions that are truly an upgrade or improvement, and we weren't seeing that with the LED's. Only HID bulbs created an actual improvement of light output and brightness.
Well I guess that would be why there is no LED video lol, thanks headlight revolution!
What year did they come from the factory with led??
No altitudes have them, just the High Altitude and Limited with a certain package and higher I think
Do you sell the ballast by itself?
Hey Ricky!We can totally do that, just give us a call and ask!
(218) 755-5505
Thanks for watching!
I did it exactly but my headlight power goes off and one not turn on.
You need something extra you just got the light I forgot what they are called but with out it they will not turn or flickering or strobing.
You need to add a PWM Module either by Morimoto or Xenon Depot
when I start the car, the bulbs flicker. why is that? they flicker and then turn off.
This could be caused by a few things. Shoot us an email, and we can get that fixed for you!
Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com
So you're putting HID bulbs into a halogen reflector? I have heard the light pattern is not well controlled in this case, and even intrusive to oncoming traffic. Also, why didn't you change out the high beam as well? I guess the ballast unit doesn't have to be mounted, you didn't say. I like the idea of that turn indicator bulb, but cutting, splicing, soldering... you make it look easy, but for the uninitiated, it's a little much, I think. Oh, and cost? Lots of unanswered questions.
Its all good man, HIDs may not be for everyone! With that said, the HIDs in this video were installed on both the low beam and the high beam. The low beam on that vehicle is a projector, so nothing to worry about with blinding oncoming traffic, and you shouldnt have your high beam on with oncoming traffic so nothing to worry about there. If you are feeling uncomfortable with the wiring and installation of the HIDs, we do have LED or halogen options that will not require nearly the same process! Let us know if you have any other questions!
was this jeep factory hid? my 2017 grand cherokee cutoff pattern is HORRIBLE compared to this video
This one was not factory HID, that's odd! This one wasn't too bad.
Everything fixed. The only proper way to install is to pull the bumper. It takes half the time to pull the bumper instead of fighting it this way
What’s the model of this bulb? Last time I bought lights online it was the wrong one 😞
Are you referring to the HID headlights, or are you referring to one of the other bulbs installed inthis video? Let me know!
I have led lights. www.ebay.com/itm/223551018938 that’s the link for the ones i have. They are fog lights
I am unsure what bulb you are looking at replacing in your Jeep, and I am also wondering what the speicific model and year of your vehicle you have. When you get that to me I will be able to further help you with this!
What about the daytime running light? Will it still work with this kit?
They will either be on full power or not at all, let me know if you have any further questions, I'll be happy to help.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Headlight Revolution thank you for the info. Great channel btw.
Hi with this bulb also work with the jeep grand cherokee with the factory DRL lights?
Is your DRL currently on your low beam? If so, yes it will work, but the DRL will be on at full brightness as HIDs cannot dim.
@@HeadlightRevolution maybe I stated it wrong, my headlight has the led ribbon DRL and the bulb I believe is a DS3.
Oh I see. In that case, this HID kit won't work for your application, you'll just need to upgrade the D3s HID bulb instead.
These three bulbs will be your best opitons!

Anytime!
Why was the high beam install not shown in this video?
That is because this video was only for the fog lights and turn signals, not for the headlights! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!
@@HeadlightRevolution in the first ten seconds of the video, chris says “I’m gonna show you how to change the headlights and fog lights”

Only if morimoto made headlights for the jeep wk2
Too bad we do not carry anything from there for your vehicle, if they get a product for your Jeep, I will make sure to let you know! Have a great day!
The computer unit will unclip! Don’t have to remove the bolts the clip tab is o long the top edge of the back of the metal bracket and holds the metal bracket from sliding up and out. There’s 2 slides in the back and will come out easy when you get it high enough
Where do you get the kit?
The links are in the description: headlightrevolution.com/products.php?product=2011-%252d-2018-Jeep-Grand-Cherokee-HID-Low-Beam-Conversion-Kit
@@HeadlightRevolution Link no longer work. Is there any other product similar to the one used in the video that will be compatible with Mopar that will not throw any codes/lights on the dashboard?
I got a set of BeamTech LED headlights for my truck, what a waste of money
I have a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has the reflector housing, not the projector housing as shown here. I put LED 5000k bulbs (from VLED's www.vleds.com) in my low beams. They are just as bright as HID's in my opinion. My Jeep uses the Low Beams for the daytime running lights, they are on anytime the car is out of park and turn on and off with the turn signals. I tried having the DRL's turned off at the dealer, but they said there was no option to turn them off. Oh, well... they look good during the day too. I left my fog lights stock halogen.
Glad you found a great product!
Will this work if I get aftermarket lumens projector headlights. www.carid.com/2015-jeep-grand-cherokee-headlights/lumen-drl-bar-projector-led-headlights-1379194662.html I just don't want the bulb to hit the lens
Why not avoid all that work .. and go LED
LED does not work as well in these housings.
Lol this is my Jeep

Installing bulbs in the grand Cherokee is a TOTAL PAIN. Without the hands of a 10 year old, you will never able to change the bulb out. The HID lights by HR are great quality, but this job is better left to a pro - spend the $ to have bulbs installed if they ever need replaced.
Thanks for your input!
I hope whatever Jeep engineer(s) that designed the way to access those bulbs has moved on to another career because clearly, he's a moron and has no clue. I've changed bulbs many times trying different ones and each time I find new expletives to bestow on him. You will explore new ways to unnaturally bend your hand/wrist/forearm to get to the right side (and he wasn't kidding about skin loss) and then, you get the pleasure of removing the entire airbox to access the left. Why not just remove the headlight housing? Because to do that you would have to remove the entire front bumper fascia. Hmm.....that engineer got how much money to screw us?
That is a bummer man, sorry to hear that it gives you that much trouble! I wish they were thinking a little more when they designed that, definitely not one of the fine points of the vehicle😂
