@@strada5052 seriously bro its horrible I changed all my lights headlights and fog lights too. It's was a mission to get to them specially the passenger side. I think they did that so we can take the car to the dealership instead and have it done.
Just finished doing mine ,watching videos to see if everyone had a hard time , drivers side sucked but passenger side was horrible, jeep gives u about 2 inches of slack on the passenger side wires ..
Wanted to thank Vlad again for making this awesome video and add some tips that I think make this easier! First, wear gloves for sure because there are some sharp edges on the underlip of the car frame. Plus it will just save your hands in general. Two, use the stock o-ring and FLIP IT OVER, fitting the small lip of the o-ring into the groove. This creates the same gap size that is present on the stock lights and will make it much easier to seat the 3 prong light housing. Next, use a flashlight to see exactly where the aggressive prongs are (two prongs have an angled edge, one prong has uniform sides). It's literally like a puzzle piece and must go in this way. Once you determine its orientation, adjust the ring on the light fixture so the prongs match and the wire ends up pointing straight down when you install the light (screwing it in clockwise about 45 degrees). The LED must end up with the lights pointing towards 9 and 3 o'clock - this creates a nice, strong beam. If it's off too far, the light will scatter.
I loved this video, great job! Complete information with how to and brands used in less than 10 minutes. Great editing and use of time lapse. I feel you're honestly trying to help people rather than just creating content. Thank you.
I gotta stop by and say “thank you” again. I just changed out the low beams today. Not easy. The passenger side was the worst. But finally got them. Thanks to this video. You’re the man, sir.
This is a hilarious video. Where dealership in Ohio. We thought this was a sitcom. We’re all sitting around the lunch table watching this video, laughing out loud. Thanks for the comedy.

It is actually a good idea to use THE SAME ENVIRONMENT when attempting to compare something. Hey look how much cooler this is (first shot is a vehicle buried in the mud, second is show room shiny in an environment that naturally enhances the beauty).
Just changed my low beams, fog lights, and turn signals all using the products/links you provided. So far so good (2018 GC Laredo). I must say the low light on the driver side was particularly brutal. DONT FORGET TO SWAP OUT THE GASKETS. It took me a sec to remember that and I tore up my hands trying to get it in with the oversized gasket. Clocking isn't too bad, just remember what angle the OEM sits at before you unscrew it, and then align the 3 tab pattern on the new light to match the OEM. Wear safety glasses when doing the fog light or you will get an eye full of dirt. Thanks for the video!
Awesome tutorial man, one of the most thorough guides to change out the bulbs on any car I've ever seen!! I was just searching for how to change the tailgate lights and fog-lights, but now I know where to go if I ever need to change anything else! Cheers!

I took my time because I wanted to get everything right. Also appreciate letting us know what lights to use. Thanks again.
The passenger side low beam requires an act of God to replace. I just replaced EVERY SINGLE bulb in the front with LEDs, and it took a couple hours, a few breaks, and wishing death upon whoever designed the Grand Cherokee and said "this is good enough"
Just ordered every set off the list except went for the Fahrens, $185 total so hopefully worth it! Going to be playing your video while doing the installation!

Great video tho, very helpful and my car def looks better! I swear it added like 5-10 HP!
Vlad you are the GOAT for doing these vids. I'm a new '21 GC Laredo X owner and upgrading my stock lighting (interior & exterior) is in the near future - 100% thanx to your vid. Two questions I have 1) I'm in cold winter climate, MN. How well do your recommended LED's perform in sub-zero temps? and 2) in your links below, it appears that white fog lights and low beams are not found on Amazon anymore. Can you recommend alternatives? (also....I don't miss my '21 Ram 1500 Laramie cuz I can park in my garage again!!). Love my GC!
Hey man, great video. No BS and I appreciate you letting us know what worked and didn't work. I have a 2021 Laredo E because that's all I could afford. Gonna upgrade the lights! Thanks.
Great video! I just installed everything up front with Lasfit. The switch fogs are kind of annoying they go yellow then white when switching high beams on/off but whatever i can live with that lol The high beams are absolutely amazing!! And no they don't scatter light everywhere. Light is exactly where it was with the halogens, just a lot brighter obviously I didn't feel like messing around in the tight spots to change things out so I yanked the bumper cover and pulled the housings right out. Seemed to be easier for me to go that way 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for making this video. It convinced me to do the swap to LED. I went with your recommended brand. Thanks for the pro tip on the headlight seal. Fog lights were super easy. Less than 5 mins on both. The hardest part for me was clocking the low beam headlight bulb. I installed them today and they are awesome. But I don’t think I have them clocked right as I seem to have a dead spot on the driver side light pattern. It’s hard to do without removing the headlight assembly itself.
@@thisguyvlad17 Based on on your response I may have the passenger side then incorrectly clocked. Lol. Because the pattern on the passenger side is wider horizontal and not vertical.
I highly suggest anyone that does this replaces EVERY bulb in the front of the car. The low beams are the hardest and you'll already have everything apart. The high beams are super simple, and so are the front marker lights. Its looks much better if u upgrade all of them. The high beam LEDs are great for those dark roads. Also, the fog light / headlight bulbs he suggested are polarity sensitive, so check they work BEFORE you reinstall them. I bought the same brand he shows for all my fog lights, low beams, and high beams (All white for me). It looks so much better. Fair warning - I've never had led headlights bulbs like these last more than a few years. Despite the "led" lasting basically forever, the electronics behind them usually fail after a few years. The last set I used in a previous car, I opted for the fan less type that just had braided ribbon wire as an external heat sink (one less thing to fail not having fans). They fit almost anywhere (I even have them on my motorcycle). Just be forewarned - dont expect them to last forever, cause they probably wont. Have to see how this brand holds up. Will be doing all the rear on my jeep later today.
@@gsdlkfgmsdlkggsdglkngsl1607 did u get my first reply? Cause I dont see it posted. Yes, I ordered all the same bulbs for the headlights high low and for the fog, just in the appropriate size base. All from Fahren just cause I knew they would fit from one of the videos. Turn signals i got white and amber switchbacks from Lighsta, and I wouldn't recommend them if you live somewhere cold. Everytime it's cold they act up and dont blink right. Try a set from JDM instead.
@@kctyphoon i didnt see the other one but ty for replying. I was only going to do high/low/fog/reverse to be honest. I just wasn't positive both high and low used the same bulb, seems weird to me
@@gsdlkfgmsdlkggsdglkngsl1607 i dont remember 100% if they use the exact same size/base or not, but i think the hi and low beams do. I had to look that up when i bought them. When i said i used the same bulbs, i meant the same “color/brightness/model from the same manufacturer- for all 3 hi/low/fogs so the colors and brightness all matched perfectly. You’ll have to look up on a vehicle bulb size chart to confirm - but I THINK its the fog light bulbs that were a little different. I have 2 orders in my shopping history, and one bulb specifically says “fog light” in the description. If i remember right (cause its been a few months) I’m pretty sure the hi and low beam use the exact same bulb - but its the type/style of headlight lens and reflector thats different on the car - which is what makes them light the roadway differently - and not the bulb. For some reason all my responses arent posting on here.
@@kctyphoon hey i got this one buddy thank you. So it looks like the same bulb it just seems like the housing is slightly smaller on the low beams (at least for the set i got). I also did notice a different design on them. I really hope all the colors match up, i did go with 6000k white for all 3 so i think i should be good.
WOW FOR AS OFTEN AS THE HALOGEN BULBS BLOW OUT I WILL DO THIS NEXT TIME... THANX FOR THE INFO.IF YOU CAN COMMENT BACK PLEASE LIST ALL THE BULBS IN ORDER FRONT TO BACK. ONLY CAUSE I'M OLD AND HAVE A HARD TIME WITH MEMORY... AGAIN OUTSTANDING VIDEO. MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONES OUT THERE. STAY COOL PEACE....
Hah! Tried this last week… can’t seem to get my hand in the hole in the headlamp to twist the light greet! Left the Jeep in Florida for a couple of months… will try again when we go back down in January. Might need to remove front grill.
Great video. Installation was pretty easy. I changed my headlight, turn and fog. But now why is my driver side headlight not work sometimes? Is it because of the heat?
That's strange. It could be because of the heat, but mine have been inside the housing for a 1 1/2 years without issues & I live in the desert. Maybe the ones you received have a bad LED driver. They come from China, so might be a bad batch.
I just spent 2 hours on replacing the passenger side low beam with the Farhens. Man you didn’t mention even that is too big for the housing. It just wouldn’t fit! I think I was finally able to push it in somehow right before I was about to give up.
I’ve been using the Sirius LED amber turn signals in my 2020 Trailhawk with no issue. I’ve left them on hazards for over 5 min and no hyper flash or overheating. Not sure if it’s the claimed built in resistor but they work great!
Technically no, reason being is that when you grab the back of the bulb, to unlock it has to go to the right. I understand what you mean, but if I said turn it left people might think when they grab the bulb they will immediately turn it left, which would break it.
I love the brightness of the Lasfits but I've been using them and it seems they don't live that long. I just used some in line plug n play LED resistors to solve the hyperflash.
question... Did you have to to connect anything to the battery for the fogs or low beams? I see online some have a chip box to add as well? I didn't see you cover that. Great Vid. Thank you for your hard work.
So the actual LEDs that give out the light need to face left to right. Which is 3 and 9 on a clock. So you have to turn the actual LED base so that they face in the correct direction.
@@thisguyvlad17 Finally I got the headlight installed, however there are some black lines and shadows on both side when headlight is on, I think I may need adjust Beam to make it vertically when sit in the locked ring. do I need to set it to 3 and 9 clock?
That's awesome! Yeah, you would need to adjust the bulb to 3 & 9 for the best beam angle. I'm sorry, I didn't get a chance to mention that in my video.
May sound like a dumb question but is there a way to check the reverse lights if you're by yourself? I tried putting the car in reverse and holding it with my parking brake so I could walk back and look, but it automatically put me in neutral as soon as I opened the door.
Amigo me podras mandar la lista exacta de los modelos que compraste para tu jeep, los que anexas son similares, pero yo quiero los exactos , te quedaron muy bien gracias exito
This video makes it look way easier than it is lol. I can’t even fit my hand to turn the passenger light. My turn signals won’t even come out to change. I’ll never own a Jeep again if it’s this much trouble.
Oh I've heard that a few times haha. Trust me I had A LOT of trial and error to give the best possible info on this. I've worked on BMW & MB that weren't this bad.
@@thisguyvlad17 I don’t know how you got your had in there on the passenger side. I had to move the fuse box out of the way and finally got it. I got all the recommendations from this video on what bulbs. I have replaced them all now other than turn signals. My question is this. After replacing the front lights to leds, my headlights do not turn on automatically anymore. I literally have to turn the car off and start it again to turn on my headlights. Have you had this problem?
All I did was shave my forearms & buttered them up haha. Regards to your lights, I haven't experienced that at all. Nor has anyone mentioned that to me yet. Very strange, I'm not entirely sure what would cause that.
Thanks for marking a great video you saved my but I couldn’t get the passenger side low beam in and you said to move the coolant over and it made so much more room I could get my hands in there seriously thanks for great explanation of everything it really helped me out.
I do have question I got those lasfit brake light and mine were hyper flashing. So you were saying you the brand linked in your bio it didn’t hyper flash because I’m getting turn signal light also. Just wondering
@@androidcrazy555 Correct! Everything that I have linked is everything that I have personally tested & had great results with. I've had this setup for about 10 months now w/o issue.
How do I clip off the passenger side what clips? I literally wasted 5+ hours trying to change my front 2 headlights (my first car & first time) pls help.
First off I want to thank you for your videos very informative, but I do have to question the signal lights fronts and rear. Lasfit told me today that they've discontinued those LEDs for Grand Cherokee regarding front and rear signals, that they've had too many problems and they're going back to the drawing board. So I respectfully ask myself being a novice What other brand or if you could give me a link on Amazon of an LED front and back turn signal. I'd really appreciate it That's the only thing I'm missing now. I did all the other ones like you did interior and exterior. Thanks again keep up the good work
I'm currently using lasfit switchback 7443 for the front turn signals, no issues unless they are on for too long and overheat. After they cool down, they function correctly without issue. Rears are Brake/Turn combination bulbs and the only LEDs that I tested that worked 100% are these amzn.to/3Yj3ikV.
Hey- can you give more walk around or how it looks- when you were done you just said that's it there you go look at it..... end of video. Can you add a little bit more- kind of a close up and or just maybe show more video...
Thank you so much for your awesome videos! I have 2017 JGC limited, I changed the low beams to H11 LED, and it looks great! I have a question about the low beam housing rubber cover, if we covered it , where can the heat go? Shall we drill a holes or something? Thanks!
Thank you for your support! The heat really doesn't go anywhere, it just stays in the housing. You can drill holes, if you'd like to do so. I never did.
The rear brake/turn signals you provided are causing a hyper flash in my 2014 Jeep grand Cherokee limited, is there a simple fix besides buying new bulbs? The hyper flash drives me nuts
Awesome build and I must change the brake lights to led's lol. I will go with the JDM because of the no hyper flash as well. I've read about having to install resistors but not comfortable with splicing into oem wiring at all and will go the JDM route for the reverse lights. What lift and suspension changes did you do as well? Really appreciate the video!
Thanks my guy! I tried to find all the LEDs that would work right out of the box & be painless. I'm actually running a full Old Man Emu kit from RRO. So far its been great on & offroad. I wish I was a little bit taller, but I'm just gonna compensate with bigger tires.
On mine Low is H11 and High is H9. Pretty much the same, some GCs have HB3 High. You can reach the Highs very easy, just pull it out and check the bulb.
If you have D3Ss, which are HIDs. Putting in LEDs will be a down grade for you and I wouldn't do that. I'd recommend these amzn.to/3EpJjb6 to replace your current D3S. They will be the same color as my LEDs.
@thisguyvlad17 says they don't fit my car lol. Ok Il look into it. But I cant for the life of me figure out how to put the oem one back in now that it's out
Great Video! Really saved me a ton of money instead of buying a whole new headlight set. Only problem I have is the turn signals. I purchased the ones u mentioned and they look great. But after installing them I get a message saying “Turn Signals Off” and get the constant flickering. Other than that everything else looks great. Also do u know good high beam brands?
Thank you and you're welcome! Yeah, turn signals are hit or miss. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I have another video testing 3 different ones, I don't know if you've seen it. I personally, don't recommend running a LED in the HB. Reason is that the HB uses a reflector lens and LED light just scatters it, but feel free to change it if you'd like to with whatever brand you prefer.
Apparently not all WK2 jeeps have the same headlight assembly. I purchased the recommended bulbs for my 2015 WK2 and the headlight bulb connectors don't match. That and I don't have a "brown" connector for the turn signal. I couldn't find the turn signal bulbs.
So u used lastfit on the video for the front turn signal and listed another brand on the description, so which one is better? Don’t u get hyper flash on the lastfit ones?
Your recommended headlights are gone from Amazon. 😢 I found the same ones but they are upgraded now. But I have a question about the switchbacks. I don’t like the Amber/white switchbacks. Are there any that are Amber/Amber switchbacks? I have turn signals in there right now and they don’t light up as a parking light when not activated as a turn signal. I need some help. What are your recs?
How did you adjust the LED headlights to the 3 to 9 position? I installed Sealights in a 2017 GC because they worked great in my 2010 GC. The Sealights are in the 2 to 8 position and do not work well. Did you adjust the Fahrens before they were installed or after?
The Fahrens have an adjustable base, so it took a few tries to get them right. Basically, it's take them out, adjust, check, take them out again, adjust & check again. It took me like 4-5 tries to get it right.
I bit the bullet and removed the front bumper cover and the headlight assemblies. The Fahrens were easy to clock with the assemblies removed. I put the Sealights in the high beam and they work great. For some reason, the high beams are in the 3 to 9 orientation. My low beam is great now. Keep up the good work!
I replaced the low beams with the LED's recommended in this video and they work great on my 15 GC Limited. I also replaced the front turn signals with the switchback bulbs linked in this video as well. They were really cool when first installed but they do not work anymore after 2 weeks of being in the vehicle. The bulbs illuminate but the vehicle doesn't communicate with them properly when using turn signals. Vehicle gives fast flash and turn signal out message. Therefore my front turn signals do not work with the amazon linked switchback bulbs in this video. Any suggestions to rectify this situation or should I just avoid the switchbacks and try the solid ambers? Any help would be appreciated.
Hey @ThisGuyVlad ! Thank you so much for the informative video! If I may, I have one question/confusion - In the video you mention that we need 921 LED for the reverse and a 194 LED for the tailgate However, when I check out the links in the description, you do link the 921 bulb for the inner tailgate, but for the outer reverse lights you linked a 7440/7443 bulbs. So what exactly should I look for, 921 or 7440/7443 for the outer reverse lights? Thanks again!
My apologies for the confusion it may have caused. The 194 LED is for the inside of the tailgate.. For the reverse LEDs you'll need the 921 for the inner reverse & 7440/7443 for the outer reversed.
What’s different about those taillights from stock? Are they aftermarket or just have some tint on them? Love the lights and the green jeep btw. Bang on👌🏼
We switched the low beams and they aren't adjusted properly. We called two different places to have them do it (because the lights were so hard to get to and we wanted to make sure it's done right), both places said they can't be switched like this because the lights get too hot and for them to do it (so they don't get hot) it's $1500. Have you had any issues with the led's burning anything? I'm not sure if they are just trying to upsell or not.
So, the LED driver (little box attached to the LED) & heat sink do get very hot when they are on & running. But, you would only need them on for like 5-10 seconds to see the beam pattern, then you could adjust accordingly. What it sounds like is that they just don't want to do the job, that's why they gave an outrageous price.
So i bought two pairs of Lastfit H11 LED lights for my Lowbeam and fog lights for my 2019 jeep grand cherokee... are they the right size and should fit??
@@thisguyvlad17 no bro they not the same I think mines is a year older because your head lights shape are different. Thank you for the super fast reply Gn brother your car looks super clean by the way
Just installed the same fogs in my sons 2015 limited and cannot get them to work. They power on, flash twice and then shut off. Won’t turn back on. Returned them and tried a new set, same lights, same issue. Any thoughts? The Sealights work great in the hi and low beam position work perfect but fogs are driving me nuts.
@@thisguyvlad17 Vlad it was actually easier than that. I did a little research and found that using the Appcar software and going in through the OBD2 port all I had to do was to set “Front fog lights LED” to SET or enabled. The 15’s use a different command for the fogs. Changing this setting tells the module to change the way the bulb is controlled. The software was $49 but WELL worth it. I customized a few other settings for him and he’s thrilled with it now. If you own a 2015 GC and are having this issue it is a much better option IMO than buying the resistors, installing and mounting them. HTH’s 👍🏻
Great videro really, but I have a question for you…the H11 Fahren fit inside the room ok, but fit also the electrical box???? And is possible the close the cap anyway?
have you experienced any issues with heat? Especially with those headlights? LED headlights will have significantly lower light output as they heat up.
Took about 3 hours to do low beams on my 2020 grand Cherokee, you need hands the size of a squirrel!!!

Thank you for making this video. It convinced me to do the swap to LED. I went with your recommended brand. Thanks for the pro tip on the headlight seal. Fog lights were super easy. Less than 5 mins on both. The hardest part for me was clocking the low beam headlight bulb. I installed them today and they are awesome. But I don’t think I have them clocked right as I seem to have a dead spot on the driver side light pattern. It’s hard to do without removing the headlight assembly itself.
You're welcome! Clocking is definitely a PITA, as long as the shadow on your headlight is vertical, then you have them clocked correctly!
@@thisguyvlad17 Based on on your response I may have the passenger side then incorrectly clocked. Lol. Because the pattern on the passenger side is wider horizontal and not vertical.
Haha 😄 I've done that. You want the LEDs to face left and right, so that's what gives you the vertical shadow.
This was incredibly done. Thank you.
I changed all the lights already it work great thank you for ur tips .
I highly suggest anyone that does this replaces EVERY bulb in the front of the car. The low beams are the hardest and you'll already have everything apart. The high beams are super simple, and so are the front marker lights. Its looks much better if u upgrade all of them. The high beam LEDs are great for those dark roads. Also, the fog light / headlight bulbs he suggested are polarity sensitive, so check they work BEFORE you reinstall them. I bought the same brand he shows for all my fog lights, low beams, and high beams (All white for me). It looks so much better.
Fair warning - I've never had led headlights bulbs like these last more than a few years. Despite the "led" lasting basically forever, the electronics behind them usually fail after a few years. The last set I used in a previous car, I opted for the fan less type that just had braided ribbon wire as an external heat sink (one less thing to fail not having fans). They fit almost anywhere (I even have them on my motorcycle). Just be forewarned - dont expect them to last forever, cause they probably wont. Have to see how this brand holds up. Will be doing all the rear on my jeep later today.
did you use the same bulb for both high and low beam?
@@gsdlkfgmsdlkggsdglkngsl1607 did u get my first reply? Cause I dont see it posted. Yes, I ordered all the same bulbs for the headlights high low and for the fog, just in the appropriate size base. All from Fahren just cause I knew they would fit from one of the videos. Turn signals i got white and amber switchbacks from Lighsta, and I wouldn't recommend them if you live somewhere cold. Everytime it's cold they act up and dont blink right. Try a set from JDM instead.
@@kctyphoon i didnt see the other one but ty for replying. I was only going to do high/low/fog/reverse to be honest. I just wasn't positive both high and low used the same bulb, seems weird to me
@@gsdlkfgmsdlkggsdglkngsl1607 i dont remember 100% if they use the exact same size/base or not, but i think the hi and low beams do. I had to look that up when i bought them. When i said i used the same bulbs, i meant the same “color/brightness/model from the same manufacturer- for all 3 hi/low/fogs so the colors and brightness all matched perfectly. You’ll have to look up on a vehicle bulb size chart to confirm - but I THINK its the fog light bulbs that were a little different. I have 2 orders in my shopping history, and one bulb specifically says “fog light” in the description. If i remember right (cause its been a few months) I’m pretty sure the hi and low beam use the exact same bulb - but its the type/style of headlight lens and reflector thats different on the car - which is what makes them light the roadway differently - and not the bulb. For some reason all my responses arent posting on here.
@@kctyphoon hey i got this one buddy thank you. So it looks like the same bulb it just seems like the housing is slightly smaller on the low beams (at least for the set i got). I also did notice a different design on them. I really hope all the colors match up, i did go with 6000k white for all 3 so i think i should be good.
Bro that passenger low beam is a bear!!!
WOW FOR AS OFTEN AS THE HALOGEN BULBS BLOW OUT I WILL DO THIS NEXT TIME... THANX FOR THE INFO.IF YOU CAN COMMENT BACK PLEASE LIST ALL THE BULBS IN ORDER FRONT TO BACK.

That is one hell of a great video man. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Just found your channel. Great stuff! Far superior to many of the others.
Wow, thanks!
For your rear signals you should have got the Lasfit LEDs with built in resistors to prevent hyperflash. I have them in my car. Jeep Looks Great !!
I did and when I tried them they didn't work from day 1. These JDM Astar ones have been working for me for over 2 years now.
@@thisguyvlad17 They’ve been working in car for a 1 1/2 years.
That's great to hear! Thank you!
So well produced, great work. Thanks
Much appreciated!
Great video, the directions are clear and concise.👍
Nice & complete… will make the job easy… thanks!!
Hah! Tried this last week… can’t seem to get my hand in the hole in the headlamp to twist the light greet! Left the Jeep in Florida for a couple of months… will try again when we go back down in January. Might need to remove front grill.
Yeah, it's definitely a tight fit even for me. My hands and forearms were cut up and bruised.
This guy is amazing. Thank you so much.
Great video, cheers!!!
Great video. Installation was pretty easy. I changed my headlight, turn and fog. But now why is my driver side headlight not work sometimes? Is it because of the heat?
That's strange. It could be because of the heat, but mine have been inside the housing for a 1 1/2 years without issues & I live in the desert. Maybe the ones you received have a bad LED driver. They come from China, so might be a bad batch.
The anker cable I didn’t see how or when you use that cord
I just spent 2 hours on replacing the passenger side low beam with the Farhens. Man you didn’t mention even that is too big for the housing. It just wouldn’t fit! I think I was finally able to push it in somehow right before I was about to give up.
They do fit, just barely though. There's different Farhens, with larger heatsinks that will not fit.
I’ve been using the Sirius LED amber turn signals in my 2020 Trailhawk with no issue. I’ve left them on hazards for over 5 min and no hyper flash or overheating. Not sure if it’s the claimed built in resistor but they work great!
If it's a single color like amber or white there usually isn't any issues.
6:45 you meant to say turn to the left. Righty tidy lefty Lucy
Technically no, reason being is that when you grab the back of the bulb, to unlock it has to go to the right.
I understand what you mean, but if I said turn it left people might think when they grab the bulb they will immediately turn it left, which would break it.
Thanks
Very good ,perfect thanks😃
I like the hyperflash. Used Evo by Sylvania for brakes
I thought the overland had running led lights
Great video, Vlad, very helpful! What's that cargo liner you have?
Thats the Mopar GC cargo liner.
I love the brightness of the Lasfits but I've been using them and it seems they don't live that long. I just used some in line plug n play LED resistors to solve the hyperflash.
friend could you pass the exact list of what you put in it and buy the same please
😅😅
question... Did you have to to connect anything to the battery for the fogs or low beams? I see online some have a chip box to add as well? I didn't see you cover that. Great Vid. Thank you for your hard work.
How do I adjust the low beams so they are aimed properly? I don't follow what exactly is being "clocked at the 3 and 9 position"
So the actual LEDs that give out the light need to face left to right. Which is 3 and 9 on a clock. So you have to turn the actual LED base so that they face in the correct direction.
@@thisguyvlad17 just so you know, if this fixes the issue I'm having with my low beams, I'm probably gonna fall in love with you...
Very cool looking I'm plan to change LED light on my jeep too.
Awesome! Do it! Let me know how it goes.
@@thisguyvlad17
Finally I got the headlight installed, however there are some black lines and shadows on both side when headlight is on, I think I may need adjust Beam to make it vertically when sit in the locked ring. do I need to set it to 3 and 9 clock?
That's awesome! Yeah, you would need to adjust the bulb to 3 & 9 for the best beam angle. I'm sorry, I didn't get a chance to mention that in my video.
May sound like a dumb question but is there a way to check the reverse lights if you're by yourself? I tried putting the car in reverse and holding it with my parking brake so I could walk back and look, but it automatically put me in neutral as soon as I opened the door.
You can record it with your phone.
Amigo me podras mandar la lista exacta de los modelos que compraste para tu jeep, los que anexas son similares, pero yo quiero los exactos , te quedaron muy bien
gracias
exito
Great video, but there's no way anyone can change those headlight bulbs out in 10 minutes!
This video makes it look way easier than it is lol. I can’t even fit my hand to turn the passenger light. My turn signals won’t even come out to change. I’ll never own a Jeep again if it’s this much trouble.
Oh I've heard that a few times haha. Trust me I had A LOT of trial and error to give the best possible info on this. I've worked on BMW & MB that weren't this bad.
@@thisguyvlad17 I don’t know how you got your had in there on the passenger side. I had to move the fuse box out of the way and finally got it. I got all the recommendations from this video on what bulbs. I have replaced them all now other than turn signals. My question is this. After replacing the front lights to leds, my headlights do not turn on automatically anymore. I literally have to turn the car off and start it again to turn on my headlights. Have you had this problem?
All I did was shave my forearms & buttered them up haha. Regards to your lights, I haven't experienced that at all. Nor has anyone mentioned that to me yet. Very strange, I'm not entirely sure what would cause that.
Excellent Video
Great video!! 🔥👍🏼
Thank you!
Do you know the part # for the quarter turn screw on fender liner?
1/4 Turn Locking Retainer - Mopar (68034329AA)
Thanks for marking a great video you saved my but I couldn’t get the passenger side low beam in and you said to move the coolant over and it made so much more room I could get my hands in there seriously thanks for great explanation of everything it really helped me out.
I'm happy the video helped you! Thank you 🙏
I do have question I got those lasfit brake light and mine were hyper flashing. So you were saying you the brand linked in your bio it didn’t hyper flash because I’m getting turn signal light also. Just wondering
@@androidcrazy555 Correct! Everything that I have linked is everything that I have personally tested & had great results with. I've had this setup for about 10 months now w/o issue.
How do I clip off the passenger side what clips? I literally wasted 5+ hours trying to change my front 2 headlights (my first car & first time) pls help.
Are you talking about removing the bulb from the harness?
Thank you my man.
You're welcome!
First off I want to thank you for your videos very informative, but I do have to question the signal lights fronts and rear. Lasfit told me today that they've discontinued those LEDs for Grand Cherokee regarding front and rear signals, that they've had too many problems and they're going back to the drawing board. So I respectfully ask myself being a novice What other brand or if you could give me a link on Amazon of an LED front and back turn signal. I'd really appreciate it That's the only thing I'm missing now. I did all the other ones like you did interior and exterior. Thanks again keep up the good work
I'm currently using lasfit switchback 7443 for the front turn signals, no issues unless they are on for too long and overheat. After they cool down, they function correctly without issue.
Rears are Brake/Turn combination bulbs and the only LEDs that I tested that worked 100% are these amzn.to/3Yj3ikV.
Thank youuu. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey I changed my turn signals & now I’m getting a turn signal out message
I have a 2015 and Amazon says your recommended brake/signal bulb won’t fit. Is that true?
Amazon is incorrect. They should work. The rear taillights are the same from 2014 to 2021.
Hey- can you give more walk around or how it looks- when you were done you just said that's it there you go look at it..... end of video. Can you add a little bit more- kind of a close up and or just maybe show more video...
I bought the same low beams do you know why they keep turning off and on while driving
Thank you so much for your awesome videos! I have 2017 JGC limited, I changed the low beams to H11 LED, and it looks great! I have a question about the low beam housing rubber cover, if we covered it , where can the heat go? Shall we drill a holes or something? Thanks!
Thank you for your support! The heat really doesn't go anywhere, it just stays in the housing. You can drill holes, if you'd like to do so. I never did.
The rear brake/turn signals you provided are causing a hyper flash in my 2014 Jeep grand Cherokee limited, is there a simple fix besides buying new bulbs? The hyper flash drives me nuts
A year later, all the lights still working for you? Great video
They were all working great up until the Jeep got totaled.
@@thisguyvlad17 oh man! Sorry to hear :(
Awesome build and I must change the brake lights to led's lol. I will go with the JDM because of the no hyper flash as well. I've read about having to install resistors but not comfortable with splicing into oem wiring at all and will go the JDM route for the reverse lights. What lift and suspension changes did you do as well? Really appreciate the video!
Thanks my guy! I tried to find all the LEDs that would work right out of the box & be painless.
I'm actually running a full Old Man Emu kit from RRO. So far its been great on & offroad. I wish I was a little bit taller, but I'm just gonna compensate with bigger tires.
Is the low beam and high beam the same bulb size
On mine Low is H11 and High is H9. Pretty much the same, some GCs have HB3 High. You can reach the Highs very easy, just pull it out and check the bulb.
I tried to change my lowbeams with the same as u. But I found out I have those square ds3. Any chance I know of converting to the leds?
If you have D3Ss, which are HIDs. Putting in LEDs will be a down grade for you and I wouldn't do that. I'd recommend these amzn.to/3EpJjb6 to replace your current D3S. They will be the same color as my LEDs.
@thisguyvlad17 says they don't fit my car lol. Ok Il look into it. But I cant for the life of me figure out how to put the oem one back in now that it's out
Would I be able to use your headlights for a 15 summit 3.0l?
@brunom1280 as long as the headlights look like mine then yes it will.
ive seen several people say "WK2" what does that mean?
WK2 is the generation. WK2 is from 2011-2023. WL is 2021-Current
Why put 💄 on a 🐽 when your OEM lights work just fine 😂😂😂
Great Video! Really saved me a ton of money instead of buying a whole new headlight set. Only problem I have is the turn signals. I purchased the ones u mentioned and they look great. But after installing them I get a message saying “Turn Signals Off” and get the constant flickering. Other than that everything else looks great. Also do u know good high beam brands?
Thank you and you're welcome! Yeah, turn signals are hit or miss. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I have another video testing 3 different ones, I don't know if you've seen it.
I personally, don't recommend running a LED in the HB. Reason is that the HB uses a reflector lens and LED light just scatters it, but feel free to change it if you'd like to with whatever brand you prefer.
Apparently not all WK2 jeeps have the same headlight assembly. I purchased the recommended bulbs for my 2015 WK2 and the headlight bulb connectors don't match. That and I don't have a "brown" connector for the turn signal. I couldn't find the turn signal bulbs.
What lift kit do you have? Great video as well going to upgrade the lights for sure
Lift kit is from Old Man Emu (OME) struts, shocks and Medium Duty springs.
thank you for the video.
You have the link for those Fahren led lights kit for my 2020 jeep grand Cherokee limited sport utility??
Links are in the description.
Did you have any electrical problems after a while that you installed them ?
Like did your battery die ?
No never.
I have a 2018 JGC and changed my headlights to LEDs. How do you like your LED headlights???
I love the bright white look, but driving at night 6000K isn't the best for visibility. So I just swapped over to these 5000K LEDs.
amzn.to/3A2OJFQ
So u used lastfit on the video for the front turn signal and listed another brand on the description, so which one is better? Don’t u get hyper flash on the lastfit ones?
Wondering how these would look on my 2012. Got all the fronts in HID and LED but needing to do the back still.
I want to change out the low beam to the Fahren LED's, did you have any issue putting the canbus driver inside of the lamp housing?
Dude. Its a MONUMENTUS effort to change the headlights out ony 2020 overland.
Your recommended headlights are gone from Amazon. 😢
I found the same ones but they are upgraded now. But I have a question about the switchbacks. I don’t like the Amber/white switchbacks. Are there any that are Amber/Amber switchbacks? I have turn signals in there right now and they don’t light up as a parking light when not activated as a turn signal. I need some help. What are your recs?
How did you adjust the LED headlights to the 3 to 9 position? I installed Sealights in a 2017 GC because they worked great in my 2010 GC. The Sealights are in the 2 to 8 position and do not work well. Did you adjust the Fahrens before they were installed or after?
The Fahrens have an adjustable base, so it took a few tries to get them right. Basically, it's take them out, adjust, check, take them out again, adjust & check again. It took me like 4-5 tries to get it right.
I bit the bullet and removed the front bumper cover and the headlight assemblies. The Fahrens were easy to clock with the assemblies removed. I put the Sealights in the high beam and they work great. For some reason, the high beams are in the 3 to 9 orientation. My low beam is great now. Keep up the good work!
Awesome 👌 I'm happy it worked out for you! I definitely will!
I replaced the low beams with the LED's recommended in this video and they work great on my 15 GC Limited. I also replaced the front turn signals with the switchback bulbs linked in this video as well. They were really cool when first installed but they do not work anymore after 2 weeks of being in the vehicle. The bulbs illuminate but the vehicle doesn't communicate with them properly when using turn signals. Vehicle gives fast flash and turn signal out message. Therefore my front turn signals do not work with the amazon linked switchback bulbs in this video. Any suggestions to rectify this situation or should I just avoid the switchbacks and try the solid ambers? Any help would be appreciated.
Hey, what mount do you use for those up top flood lights??
Valkyrie Offroad valkyrieoffroad.com/shop/wk2-ditch-light-bracket/
Hey @ThisGuyVlad ! Thank you so much for the informative video!
If I may, I have one question/confusion - In the video you mention that we need 921 LED for the reverse and a 194 LED for the tailgate
However, when I check out the links in the description, you do link the 921 bulb for the inner tailgate, but for the outer reverse lights you linked a 7440/7443 bulbs.
So what exactly should I look for, 921 or 7440/7443 for the outer reverse lights?
Thanks again!
My apologies for the confusion it may have caused. The 194 LED is for the inside of the tailgate..
For the reverse LEDs you'll need the 921 for the inner reverse & 7440/7443 for the outer reversed.
What’s different about those taillights from stock? Are they aftermarket or just have some tint on them? Love the lights and the green jeep btw. Bang on👌🏼
Yeah, I have the Crux taillight kit on them.
We switched the low beams and they aren't adjusted properly. We called two different places to have them do it (because the lights were so hard to get to and we wanted to make sure it's done right), both places said they can't be switched like this because the lights get too hot and for them to do it (so they don't get hot) it's $1500. Have you had any issues with the led's burning anything? I'm not sure if they are just trying to upsell or not.
So, the LED driver (little box attached to the LED) & heat sink do get very hot when they are on & running. But, you would only need them on for like 5-10 seconds to see the beam pattern, then you could adjust accordingly.
What it sounds like is that they just don't want to do the job, that's why they gave an outrageous price.
So i bought two pairs of Lastfit H11 LED lights for my Lowbeam and fog lights for my 2019 jeep grand cherokee... are they the right size and should fit??
sorry brother can I do this to My 2016 jeep grand cherokee limited not sure if you have the same?
The rear lights are the same, but if you're front end doesn't look like mine, then I don't believe so.
@@thisguyvlad17 no bro they not the same I think mines is a year older because your head lights shape are different. Thank you for the super fast reply Gn brother your car looks super clean by the way
Just installed the same fogs in my sons 2015 limited and cannot get them to work. They power on, flash twice and then shut off. Won’t turn back on. Returned them and tried a new set, same lights, same issue. Any thoughts? The Sealights work great in the hi and low beam position work perfect but fogs are driving me nuts.
First time someone has mentioned this issue. Since your sons is a 2015 you probably need a antiflicker module/LED decoder like this amzn.to/3ICT3C0
@@thisguyvlad17 Vlad it was actually easier than that. I did a little research and found that using the Appcar software and going in through the OBD2 port all I had to do was to set “Front fog lights LED” to SET or enabled. The 15’s use a different command for the fogs. Changing this setting tells the module to change the way the bulb is controlled. The software was $49 but WELL worth it. I customized a few other settings for him and he’s thrilled with it now. If you own a 2015 GC and are having this issue it is a much better option IMO than buying the resistors, installing and mounting them. HTH’s 👍🏻
@@bobbymccourt6794 Thank you for your information! I'll actually be doing a video on Appcar, JScan & Tazer.
Great videro really, but I have a question for you…the H11 Fahren fit inside the room ok, but fit also the electrical box???? And is possible the close the cap anyway?
Enzo, yes everything fits inside the headlight & the rubber cap closes as it would OEM.
@@thisguyvlad17 thanks so much
have you experienced any issues with heat? Especially with those headlights? LED headlights will have significantly lower light output as they heat up.
None that I have noticed.
I follow your steps. But, I can't get the headlight out. It is SO tight. It won't move at all. Any ideas how to take the headlight out?
You can try using like a rag to give you more grip to turn it.
