- Install and demo of a Nilight 22” light bar on my 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I’ve posted links below of the lightbar and what I used for this install if anyone is interested. Makes a HUGE difference and I am very happy with the way that it all turned out.

The extra bolts and wire taps were bought at my local hardware store. As a side note drilling the new holes into the nilight mounts was not bad at all since I believe they are made of aluminum. I was able to do both of the new holes with my cordless drill in about 5 minutes.
Check out my other video of this same route with the stock headlights for comparison.
I have to say I love that little storage compartment in my trailhawk. It's out of the way enough that anyone who doesn't know about it likely won't find it, but convenient enough to hold a fair amount of spare bills or change or whatever. Putting the 'go/no-go' switch in there is a fantastic idea.
Mounted mine in the same spot but took the time to weld up some mounts with angle iron so it doesn’t bounce around on the honey Comb grill , went through a different grommet though as my two way radio line is through the main one
Thank you very much for this vid!! I'm installing a bar today on my wife's 2016 Trailhawk. The Trailhawks stock lights are the worst I have ever seen on any vehicle in my life. I have no idea how they were able to produce a vehicle with them...dangerously bad. Now I here the new Trailhawks lights are phenomenal...go figure
This got me thinking. I was going to install my 20" on the bottom of the bumper, but now seeing your install I can do the same but on the out side of the honey cone prob. Will have to pick up some washers but think I can do the same and just run the wire through one of the cones up to my power distrubution system I installed the other day to handle the bar and future lights.
Hello,what’s cal this led light i like how it’s moving ?
Very helpful, much appreciated!
Clicks video and starts watching…
*sees engine bay
*exits video 😂
Hey I know this video is from a while ago, I was wondering how you Accessed the high beam wire (green/white) also, I’m new to electrical work so I’m not sure how you did the toggle in the driver side bucket thing but it’s a great idea and I’d like to do it myself. If you see this and remember that’s be great
I have a 2014 and have not found a direct replacement LED headlight bulb. I have been using Sylvania ZXE and they have lasted to 11 and 13 months. What LED fits in a Cherokee without major modification?
Dummy switch is a great idea 👍🏻
Hi I disconnected the battery and I got a lane sense error message
Hi. Have you done something on the alternator? Or have you directly added the charge to the battery?
I used a couple of twisty ties and attached mines to the same grill on my grand Cherokee. It looks bad-as!!!
Is 22" the largest that will fit or do you believe a little larger light bar would fit.
could you please do a tutorial or explanation for the LED headlights I have been having problems installing my KIT.
Same here i need this led headlights can someone tell what’s cal and where can i find it please🙏
I did this exact process and had no problems at all for a week. Now the bulb burned out on the side that I tapped into. Coincidence or related? Thanks
Nice Vid！ Can I know which brand and model low/high beam headlight you chose？ halogen one or HID?
Great,please🙏🙏what’s cal this led light ?it’s been two months I’m searching it i like how it’s moving
Where did you buy the decal strips for your Jeep cherokee
Ahhh... the Mango Tango color Trailhawk. Looks just like mine.
Have you had any problems with the grill breaking? Just bought the same setup, thanks for the idea!
@@Type5Reviews when you t-tapped? How exactly did you do it? I’m not sure how to do it with no negative consequences
Not worried about overloading the high-beam circuit??
any overload tapping into the high beams ??????
Where in the firewall did you run the switch cables? I see where the main bundle goes in but it's pretty hard to reach.
@@Type5Reviews Thanks. I did finally find a plug hidden behind some sound proofing just behind and above the brake. I have a Trailhawk and was very difficult to see where the plug was from engine side.
What led headlights and fog lights are you using?
Returned my 32 inch light bar in exchange for a 22 inch after seeing this video. Reason being I have a trailhawk as well. What size washers did you use to fasten up front?
I don’t quite remember. They may have been 1.5” or 1.25” fender washers. I took the mounting bolt with me when picking out a washer to make sure it would fit…I actually used the light on the inside of the grill for several years with no issues. Recently had to replace the radiator, so I took it back off and then remounted it on the outside of the grill this time. It is even brighter mounting it outside rather than behind the grill but either way is better than the stock headlights.
ok i purchases a couple rigid pods i wanna install in the same place did you tap into the white and green wire by the headlights or feather up. thanks very much for your reply i have a 2017 jeep
Where did you take your led headlight ?
Anyone wondering where the rubber seal is to run the switch into a 2010 Jew compass it’s behind the front left fender got to take the inside plastic off to get to it
How did you get your LED headlights to look so good? I just installed some in my 2015 with the resistors and I still get the headlight out warning
Factory bro
@@aronjohn84 I don't own the Jeep anymore after one year it was a piece of crap. Mine didn't come with led. I thought for that year model they didn't
@@HogsFan91 it's was a piece of crap? ..hmmm...curious to know why and least share with me why it was
@@aronjohn84 I just hated it. 4cyl it bogged down all the time .I didn't like how it drove.
@HogsFan91 You need a proper mopar canbus harness meant for adding led/ HID lights in place of halogen.
Newer models that come with LEDs already I believe don’t need this. Did my 2012 ram, dads 2015 ram, and few other mopars used the same harness for all and has never had an issue since.
Is about $100cad per harness though
Soooooo you used the fog lights as headlights 😅????
@ 4:40 he mentioned he tap into headlight but on the photo it looks like fog lights ? It’s bit confusing for me can anyone make me clear on this
That green connector pictured has 3 wires coming from it. The black is ground, the white with blue stripe is for the low beam and the white with green stripe is used to activate the high beam solenoid. It’s the white and green wire that you want to tap into.
@@Type5Reviews fuck
Have you encountered battery drain after installing your LED
No battery issues.
Blocking airflow to the rad is not a great idea buds
That’s an ugly way of doing the wiring and that light bar will be bouncing every time off the honeycomb grill should’ve mounted it to a more secure spot and bad spot for the toggle switch
