[@scotianbank]

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!

[@fancyreacharound]

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.

[@Iloveyoutube11]

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.

[@coleman7931]

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!

[@stevenbato4786]

This is probably why I couldn’t get the bulb to lock in. I’ll try swapping the gasket. Thanks for the recommendation. Hoping that solves the problem.

I used epoxy to glue the retainer ring back in temporally, but I ordered a new light housing of course. Second issue, i had to take the gloves off a lot to feel around the install and mon oh man did my hands get scrapped up. It was worth it for the finished product. Thanks again !

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]

You're welcome! Clocking is definitely a PITA, as long as the shadow on your headlight is vertical, then you have them clocked correctly!

[@kctyphoon]

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.

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.

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.

have you experienced any issues with heat? Especially with those headlights? LED headlights will have significantly lower light output as they heat up.

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.

[@thisguyvlad17]

You can record it with your phone.

what lift do you have on that WK2?

[@missydoby1117]

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.

[@thisguyvlad17]

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.

[@safdaralli2567]

Have a 2018 GC Limited.. how can I tell if my low beams are halogen or HID...or will H11 replacement work regardless..thanks

If your headlights look like mine you have Halogen. If you have the fancy DRLs you have HIDs

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?

[@thisguyvlad17]

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.

I order the low beams that you recommended instead of the ones you said to buy on the video. Did you have a problem of them not turning off when you spin the knob to the off position? I took them from Auto to off and they were still on.

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!

[@thisguyvlad17]

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.

Amazon is incorrect. They should work. The rear taillights are the same from 2014 to 2021.

Thanks cuz I bought those two years ago and I changed it works great but today one is not working so I think I need to replace

So it looks like the ones I put in have been discontinued. They have a newer version, not 100% sure if they will fit. The base is slightly bigger on these: amzn.to/3Q6xn2Z Here are some other ones if you're interested: amzn.to/3IkdjYX I'm currently running these in my new Jeep: amzn.to/3YMpGTx

[@12FH7]

KOOMTOOM is the brand u are running now? So can I use for my jeep grand Cherokee 2019 as well?

Yeah that's correct, I like them so far. The base is adjustable as well and you don't have to remove them to adjust it. You just keep turning it and there's notches built in.

[@mustangscotty24]

Did you have to adjust the headlight bulb for the correct light angle?

[@thisguyvlad17]

You might have to. The ones I recommended have an adjustable base to clock them properly. You want to have a vertical shadow on your headlight lens, that will give you the proper beam angle.

[@thisguyvlad17]

Mine are single beams for the lows & highs. If you have the fancy headlights that have the daytime ring, then you have HIDs that are dual filament and I wouldn't recommend swapping to LEDs. You're better off just getting a better D3S HID bulb like from Diode Dynamics, OSRAM or Philips.

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

[@bobbymccourt6794]

@@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 👍🏻
