Was about to purchase the Gen 2 Morimotos for $560 Black Friday deal. Then I found the VLANDs and watched another video then yours. The Blue DRLs sold me as I have blue fog lights, plus the $200 cheaper price tag I have a 2018 Trailhawk that came fully loaded minus the premium lighting. Excited to get mine in. Hoping that the high beam issue is in the past, I use mine alot. Great video BTW!

Just fyi. The blue is only the intro display. You cannot drive with the blue on. Also the high beam issue was actually figured out. It’s just a plug that needs to be switched over in the driver side unit. It’s a thing with polarity. But that’s gonna be nice

My 14 WK2 came with the original upgraded HID headlights , and I love them especially the LED running daylight , the only I worried was when the LED strip daylight would die or stop working , since it’s a a none replaceable part and u would have to buy an entire headlight, the only option was OEM or the missimmoto and those run over a $1,000 bucks , I checked your link and I was shocked , surprised at the price of $390 for the set , now I know if I ever need to replace mines to get these at a very low price

And this before Trackhawk came out so it was just nasty. Fast forward 2018 built me a Rubicon Recon edition Jk long arm king coilovers the whole nine had fun with that. Now it’s all about slowin my roll a bit grabbed this Trailhawk and exited to upgrade this girl and make her a tough good lookin daily that’ll do it all ! Love the Grand Cherokee platforms up to 2021.

Great non-tutorial! 😂 I believe this might depend on whether your WK2 had them to begin with, but the spacer actually has a washer module built in - which explains the cut out in the middle of it - that sprays the housing to clean it. I've never seen it in action so I have no idea how it actually works, but that's my understanding. It's the precursor to the remodeled ones which remove the spacer in favor of the grille that matches the contour of the lights, but where you'll notice the little square cutout under the light. Also, I'm likely to get the Morimotos largely because i really want the LEDs for night driving. I was disappointed how dim the HIDs were when I got my 2014 (even after replacing the bulbs). Yours looks dope though, a great alternative!

@@youtubetv8297 that’s great. Glad I could help. Tell me! Do your high beams work okay? People have said that theirs don’t work. If that’s the case it’s because Vland mistakenly positioned the connectors upside down. You will need to flip it in two spots 1st is at the top of your headlight where you have the wire that connects to both headlights. Pull the connector out and flip it so that the clip is facing up. 2nd go down to your vehicles high beams plug where it connects to the Vland plug and flip it. Sometimes they won’t fit and you would have to unfortunately shave the clip. I haven’t done it because I don’t use my high beams anyway. I haven’t done light bars for that. Hopefully you don’t have to do any of that

So the plug the connects to both your headlights at the top is upside down. Pull the connector out and flip it around. That’s the easy part. Then you have to do the same to your original high beam plug but for some that means shaving off the clips to get it to fit properly.
