Nice. I am not mechanically inclined. But watching your video, I am confident in getting the job done. Thank you, kind sir.
Thank you. I was able to do it through the factory access hole and not touch the 8mm bolts. Small tip: a tanto style knife blade works to spin the straight blade retainer so long as you have the wheels turned as shown in video. Spray a little WD in there to help reduce friction on the plastic fasteners
I was told you had to take the whole front bumper off to get to the headlights😳 glad I cam across this video. The funny thing is that I actually changed my fogs from removing that cover inside the fender but didn't think twice about potentially being able to do that for the headlamps😅
thank you again mate! I wonder if I should go with the 9012 or 9005 bulbs? cause I heard you say 9012 but the description says 9005?
I watched another video from a different company. They compromised the dust/moisture cover by drilling a hole in it (applied a grommet) for the LED Headlights Heatsink Fans to blow the heat out of the housing.
Do your headlights not generate as much heat, or was the drilling not necessary? With a lot of night driving, I rather not have them overheat and need replacing.
Hi it was helpful cedió for sure . So I installed the LED headlights on a 2016 Jeep Cherokee they turned on but on the dashboard said that the low beam headlight out why is that ?
Do you know how to make DRL to work only in daytime and not in night time with the main headlights?
What does it mean if you install LEDS and the left light doesn’t come on when turned on but when pressing unlock on the key fob it comes on as if nothings wrong… just curious because I just uninstalled a set of leds for this reason
Question so for 2019 jeep cherpkee trailhawk is it the same
Hello good evening, I know this is an older thread. Led bulbs are new for me to install on my 2016 jeep Cherokee. I have installed led headlights and received a ( low beam out ) message. I did order a set of decoding resistors, my question and concern is if I tucked all the wires then put back the dust cover like in the video, will the resistor get hot enough to burn/ melt anything inside the housing or the plastic inside the dust cover? Thank you and I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
*Bumping this post for answer from Precision.
I have a 2015 Trailhawk running Sylvania LEDs. I get low beam error intermittently. I plugged in a cheap 9012 Amazon resistor and it seems to have fixed the issue, but it gets insanely hot and I have nowhere to mount it safely.
If Precision can confirm the capacitor runs cool enough to stuff inside the housing (like the video said) and not melt anything...I will gladly purchase a full system.
Update: bought capacitors from Precision and installed paired with Sylvania LEDs. This solves my warning light with little to no heat. I was comfortable stuffing the units inside the headlight housing with dust covers on. (Drilled the dust covers for ventilation, just for piece of mind)
I have 2016 jeep cherokee trailhawk which one should I buy?
Would the 2014-2015 kepler seriers led work on the Cherokee trailhawk as well? Capacitor needed?
Yes, they would work for your Cherokee Trailhawk, you may or may not need a capacitor depending on your specific vehicle, we will provide you with a free set with your purchase if you reach out at help@precisionled.com.
I have a 2019 jeep trailhawk and i tried replacing the fog light but it looks like i have to replace to whole housing? I can disconnrct the harness but cant remove the rest.
Hi, I live in El Salvador it can get really hot down here and I keep on buying different brands every time because they just keep dying on me. Will this LED withstand harsh temperatures and not just burn like the others? Cheers and thank you for your help.
Thanks for your interest! Yes, our LEDs are indeed designed to withstand very hot temperatures (as well as cold temperatures). Our LED products are virtually weatherproof.
Great video. Do you also sell the kit for fog lights?
My lights make a clanking noise when the hi beams turn on. Is that normal? Also extremely hot
You don't need to remove the liner! Just turn the wheel and turn the plastic nut left on the square dust covers for the headlight and fog lights. You only need a flat screwdriver or use a dime! Then turn the covers either direction out of your way. You'll have access without removing any screws.
Also, not all LED lights are compatible with jeep, you may start getting a LOW BEAM OUT warning, every time you turn on your lights and it will drive you crazy!
I need this because i can't find a led for my jeep same year as this one that doesn't say low beam headlight is out when it's not can i get a link for these same led?
Do not get these lights. Trust me. I had them for a year now and they're not as bright as they claimed to be. The fog lights are a different story. Those have been doing the work of headlights. Turn them off and you are in the dark.
I fucked up and bought hids. Installation wasn't easy and now a bulb is out. I have a 2016 altitude I may try the premiums since the plug and play is there. Soooo...was the capacitor not necessary with the model in the install to work properly? That WAS NOT ADDRESSED in the video and would be very helpful to know with these fussy electrical systems such as these. Also, why the 9012 instead of 9005 that is the standard for these vehicles? I HOPE MY QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED IN DETAIL LIKE THE OTHER COMMENTS APPEAR 2 HAVE BEEN
Hi! If you have a 2016 then you will most likely need the 9005s. Check the description box below the video, there are two different bulb options based on the car year. This particular vehicle did not need a capacitor but we have worked with vehicles that do need it, so if you purchase your LEDs and have issues we can send you a free set. If you have any other specific questions and would like a quick response we recommend you contact our support team at help@precisionled.com!
@@PrecisionLED thanks for responding! My vehicle came with 9005 halogens but I upgraded to 9012 HIDS. I'm assuming the 9012 lens would work fine as well. Do u know of any reason why they wouldn't? Lastly, the output said 3500 lux I believe. Was that high or low beam? The output rating was from the vid on premium vs standard. The rating might be changed by now btw
Of course! The 9012s should work fine if you had 9012 HIDs installed. The lux output was referring to the low beams.
do you still need led resistor?
I have a 2014 Cherokee latitude. Which model would be best, and do I need a capacitor for my specific model?
Hi, please let me know, if these LED replacement headlight are compatible with 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk?
I use Auxbeam LED with and without CAN adapter, but is is not working. Without CAN adapter the headlights turning off after about 2 minutes. And after that by resetting lights it turns off after about 10 second.
Please let me know, if you have experienced any problems with long-term operation of these LED headlights?
Hi, they are indeed compatible with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. We have not heard of any long-term issues!
Hello! Quick question have u fixed your problem with tour 2014 LED'S? because I'm having exactly the same problem that you and I would like to ask you how do you fix it, thank you in advance for your help
When you seat the bulb into the housing, should the end of the light be face horizontally or vertically? Should LED's be left to right or up and down?
My thoughts as well
Best video on how to change upgrade headlight bulbs...brill
I can’t find the capacitor on your website.
Hello! I have a 2015 jeep cherokee trailhawk would a 9012 or a 9005 work better? Thank for the video can't wait to order from you guys!
Hi! The 9012 would be the best fit for your 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk. Here is a link for your convenience:

Let us know if you have any other questions!
@@PrecisionLED Hi I have same model of vehicle. I got LED and when engine is on, one light will shut off with dash warning message. I learned the working method so I bought a decoder, unfortunately the problem still stay. maybe I should try your decoder? Can I have a Canada amazon link of your decoder? thanks
@@PrecisionLEDI know you’re say 9012 but why is it coming up as 9005 for my 2016 Cherokee Trackhawk? What’s the difference? Even the link you provide says 9005 Thanks
Does the Premium Bulds come with the capacitor?
The capacitor is not needed for all Cherokees. If you would like a free set, simply email us after your purchase with your sales number! You can reach us at help@precisionled.com.
my 2017 Latitude has HID bulbs...how would I convert them to LED
I changed my driver side over the top. I tried the passenger side and after 3 hours I gave up. Thank god my driver side bulb needed replacing. I’m definitely gonna try this angle. Instead of over the top. I have scratched up hands from trying that passenger side it’s horrible. Made for really small hands. 🤷🏾♂️
Really
Hello, thanks for video, I wonder if the high temperature that produce the led bulb could affect a wire or the condenser. Thanks
Hi! Thanks for watching. The LEDs do produce some heat but because there is a fan and a ballast the heat is regulated and will not affect any wires or the condenser.
First thank you really helpful video!! Quick question I installed some LED's in a cherokee 2014 everything went smooth but after aprox 30 seconds with the lights on they went off and a msge on the dashboard pop out saying"headlight out" so I turned tje knob off/on the lights turn on again but after 20-30 seconds same story they went off, any information or help would be greatly a appreciated, thank you in advance.
Did you install PrecisionLED Headlights? If so, please contact our support team at help@precisionled.com and we can send you a capacitor to solve the issue. If you installed different aftermarket headlamps then you will need to make sure that you installed CANBus equipped LEDs. All of our kits are CANBus equipped to ensure you do not experience any dash errors.
Hello from Germany. My Cherokke was built in August 2015 but first registered in February 2016. Which one do I have to take now? 9012 or 9005? Thanks and Greetings!
Hi! Thanks for asking, the 9012 would most likely be the best fit for your vehicle. Let us know if you have any other questions!
Thanks, I'll order now. Best regards.
Hi do you know if the high beam is separate on the 2014 cherokee. Or is it all in one ?
Hi! Yes it is all in one, both your low and high beams would be upgraded if you perform this installation.
@@PrecisionLED great thank u
😊 thx you
If I purchase the premium led bulbs for my 14 Cherokee, how do I get the capacitors to prevent flickering?!
The capacitor is not needed for all Cherokees. If you would like a free set, simply email us after your purchase with your sales number! You can reach us at help@precisionled.com.
@PrecisionLED I have read that the capacitors can get very hot and shouldn't be placed inside the headlight housing. Rather it should get mounted to a metal area outside of the housing so as to dissipate heat. That requires drilling a hole in the dust cover for the canbus wire. Is this true?
In most cases a resistor generates a lot of heat and should not be placed inside of a headlight housing. A capacitor, specifically the ones that PrecisionLED uses in this video, are sealed waterproof units that do not overheat.
I would like to have seen from inside the Jeep out to see the difference between the two lights.
Thanks for letting us know! We will definitely keep that in mind for future videos.
You mention a capacitor may be needed. I can't find it on your website, can you supply a link to that product?
The capacitor is not needed for all Cherokees. If you would like a free set, simply email us after your purchase with your sales number! You can reach us at help@precisionled.com.
I bought a 2015 G Cherokee sport led headlight and capacitor and the driver side still shuts off after starting

I order the Premium 9005 CREE LED a week ago just had time today to install them, once it got dark i went to test it out and after 30 seconds the lights when off and error code came up "headlights off". my car is a Jeep Cherokee 2016, any suggestions?
Please reach out to us at help@precisionled.com. You may need a capacitor and we can send a set to you right away!
I have a 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk, a few years back I replaced the stock halogens with HID units and now I'm having issues with the driver's side bulb no longer working. I've tried everything I can think of but nothing worked. I'm considering switching to LED units. I'm pretty sure my vehicle uses the 9005 type bulb but can you confirm that?
my 2015 cherokee trailhawk use 9012 and the new LED brings me big headach of warning dash message and one light shutoff
9012
It works
hello, and thank you for the helpful video, you made it real easy :) do you ship internationally? I have a 2015 Cherokee and I live in Saudi Arabia
Thank you for the positive feedback! Yes, we do ship internationally. Let us know if you need any help ordering for your 2015 Cherokee at help@precisionled.com!
Do these trigger the “low beam out” that other bulbs can cause?
No, our LED headlights are designed to function exactly like your stock halogens and would not trigger any errors.
I have 2016 Cherokee with sunroof v6 ....can’t I just change all my bulbs led and have no problems ?
All of our kits are designed to be plug-and-play so you don't run into any installation issues! Which bulbs specifically are you looking to do an LED upgrade on?
@@PrecisionLED I WANT MY FOG LIGHTS AND FRONT TO BE ALL WHITE BUT FOGS LIGHTS YELLOW AND TAIL LIGHT LED ALSO I ONLY DID MY REVERSE LIGHT USING LED INTERIOR BULB IT WORK
@@rubooo1968 Unfortunately we do not carry the fog lights you would need but we do carry the bulbs you would need for the headlight low and high beam upgrade. Check the description box below the video for links!
@@rubooo1968 Here is the link to our interior kit: www.precisionled.com/jeep-cherokee-premium-led-interior-package-2014-present.html
What’s the difference between premium and standard
The main reason customer decide to opt in for the Premium package is it is about 30% brighter than the Standards.
Where did you get the adapter for the led light?
Everything you need for installation is included in the package linked in the description box below the video!
Why didn’t just turn the wheel and open the 2 doors specifically put there to change the headlights?????
I think that was only on the first couple yrs of this generation
Salve ho una jeep cherokee kl del 2016 metto le lampade led e dopo 5 secondi spengono e mi da errore che lampade posso mettere per la mia auto?
Hi! You need to install CANBus LEDs in order to prevent the error.
Here is a direct link to the Premium 9005 CREE LED kit: bit.ly/2WBZ3l5
Being that LED bulbs use a fan, wouldn't they overheat being sealed in by the moisture/dust cover?
Given that you don’t know whether you need the resistors, if you buy without, then you need to tear it all out, put it back together and then buy…but if you buy them and don’t need them…you’re out the $$$ for something you don’t need 🤔
So.. apparently I can change the bulbs on this car without removing the battery or airbox, by accessing through the wheel well.
..............wow I am honestly enraged by the fact I'm just now learning this. Every replacement I've done I've had to remove the airbox and battery to do so... and even then it hurt to reach.
Moving on... how are these on longevity? This model seems to have issues blowing halogen bulbs which is the entire reason I'm here. I'm sick of replacing bulbs every 6 months.
That sounds really frustrating! We expect our LEDs to last the lifetime of the vehicle, which we back with a lifetime warranty.
@@PrecisionLED lumen output? I'm looking between this and a morimoto hid system.
The LEDs project ~6000 lumens each, or ~12,000 for the pair. The headlamps will be 2-3x brighter than your stock halogens.
@@PrecisionLED Considering my stock HIR2s put out about... 600L that's a little closer to 10x.
I bought Amazon led and they turn off after 30 seconds whyyyyyy
🎉
Stay away from these headlights. They are dangerous on dark roads, not as bright as they claim. I had them for a while and realized that on dark roads they hardly illuminated the road. Dangerous.
