Jeep Patriot - LED Headlight Upgrade/Installation

[@edgardolimon232]

Hello good morning, What a nice truck you have. I would like to know what tire size it is, if you used spacers and if the suspension is raised, I would really appreciate it. Have a nice day.

[@russtew1]

Grabbed the same set of led headlights thanks for the recommendation! I did spend the extra $$ and got the 20.00 decoder's/resistors very happy also I got the same fogs to...my hands barely fit! Thanks for the video

[@aaronhaight22]

Sweet that’s awesome!

[@charlestrom6508]

Which ones did you get? And from where? I'd love a link if you have the time brother

[@brandonzammit7695]

The anti flickering resistors you have listed in the description are currently out of stock. Do you know of another type that will work?

[@pedromorenoBQN]

Awesome thanks!!!!!! how did you bolted the work lights on the frame/windshield area !!thanks

[@aaronhaight22]

custom made brackets for pod mounts near lower windshield mounted to fender bolt, light bar used custom brackets as well with self tapers in door jamb

[@andrewwallizer5205]

I got some questions one what size tires and wheels you got on that because i love the look and 2 is it lifted any I'm getting a 2013 jeep patriot and wanting to make it mine

[@garett974]

bro thanks for making these videos, super helpful, you're a great source of education, keep it up

[@aaronhaight22]

Thanks it means a lot!

[@angelr.alvarado7431]

Why the led bulbs needs resistors ? I just bought a set for 2016 jeep patriot hi-lo beam and set of fog lights beams !! The description says plug and play!

[@aaronhaight22]

To trick the CANBUS in 2007-up Chrysler vehicles into thinking a halogen bulb putting out factory draw/power is being used, LED’s use way less power and won’t work properly without resistors

[@rocheman3771]

Do your resistors smoke and get really hot because mine are and I ordered the same kind I have the same Jeep too

[@aaronhaight22]

Haven't had mine smoke on me. Thanks for watching!

[@masonmoreno116]

Hey I know this video is from a long time ago. Looking for a set of wheels for the winter for my fiances patriot and she really likes the way these wheels and tires look in your video. Just wondering if they fit without any clearance issues no rubbing or trimming required? Also how would you say these bulbs compare at night while driving to the oem bulbs in terms of brightness and visibility?

[@aaronhaight22]

Yes they are brighter, my wheel specs are30x9.50R15 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2’s and 15x8 Trailmaster TM5-5865 steel rims w/ 3.75 backspacing

[@chriscuzzortellis4988]

I just got these headlights and I’m installing them today. I also have led fog lights to install but I was wondering if they would need resistors as well?

[@aaronhaight22]

LED fog light don’t require any resistors unlike LED headlights

[@chriscuzzortellis4988]

aaronhaight22 oh ok! Well what dog lights do you run in yours?? I like your whole setup

[@bennyjsr.7117]

Awesome vid!! What size are your tires and are you running wheel spacers?..thanks

You ever end up switching to Canbus decoders rather than resistors?

[@aaronhaight22]

no i never ended up swapping them out thanks for watching!

[@Salvi503]

We’re did you get those rims for your jeep Patriot? They look nice.

[@WhatTheBrickTV]

I heard you have to change the projectors (I’m guessing that’s the plastic lens) to prevent light splashing everywhere? Or is that just for xenon?

[@aaronhaight22]

Yeah I've thought about switching to projectors, but finding one already retrofitted at a reasonable price is difficult, I'm totally looking around tho!

[@teeElle21]

I have a 2009 JP. I can't find any any angry eyes and grills anywhere online. Do they fit the same as the 2011 JP?

[@aaronhaight22]

Yes bought them off Amazon

Hi. What year is the Jeep

[@aaronhaight22]

[@louiebuckets]

Hey man have you tried or know if a Jeep Wrangler headlight (after market) will fit in a Jeep Patriot 09?

[@aaronhaight22]

They won’t fit, Wrangler headlights are 7” round, Patriots are 8” oval, custom fabricated brackets are in the works by Valkyrie Offroad to make them fit

[@louiebuckets]

aaronhaight22 okay sweet! Thank you for the info man

How have they held up in the winter? I live in NY as well, I'm thinking about making a purchase to these two.

No they will flash and flicker on and off. They are needed to bypass Jeep canbus systems. Thanks for watching!

I’m having trouble removing the light bulb that’s on my Jeep. Why is it so stubborn to remove? Any way I can do it without damaging it??

I’ve twisted the socket with channel lock pliers before, just don’t squeeze them too tight but should work

I’m planning on making a video on changing fog lights to LED’s in the near future!

[@401jeffrey]

I just changed mine. There are currently two videos on KZbin showing how to change them: some flathead pop out method and under reach method. I found that the under reach method worked out for me. I literally stuck my hand underneath found the housing in which I then I applied pressure to two tabs located on top/bottom of the connector and pulled out(no twisting involved) my left hand took longer because it was not my dominant. When I used my Right hand it literally took like 3 mins to change the bulbs. I bought alla lighting 2504 review listed with photos. Ony my way to find a decent Led headlight with resistors

Purchased and installed these 2 days ago on my 2016 Patriot. They look great. Woke up to the Check Engine Light on today. Any advise if someone else had this problem ?

[@aaronhaight22]

Kristina Piraino it’s probably not because of the LED headlights, but it could be, go to any Autozone or Advanced Auto or any auto parts store and they can scan your Patriots computer and tell you what the code is for

[@Wolflyspeaking]

aaronhaight22 thanks!

[@Brian-wq5ce]

Hi, I bought my bulbs and resistors but haven’t installed them yet because of your comments. I was wondering if the check engine light was on because of them? I also have a 2016 patriot. I would really like to hear from you. Thanks

[@Wolflyspeaking]

Bryan Cortez Hey, turns out the light was because of my gas cap not being tight. Nothing to do with the lights. Just make sure you screw down the resistors because they do get very hot and you don’t want them touching any plastic. So I’d say go for it !

[@Brian-wq5ce]

Kristina Piraino thanks!

[@dirkshirt]

Do you need resisters for rear break/tail lights? I have 2016 and ordered JDM Astar LED bulbs off Amazon. What's your advice on installing these? Not so much is it a good brand but is it a good idea.

[@countryprincess8767]

Mine flickered and went out came back on so i unplugged them is that because i didnt have the resistirs i jist irdered them

How are those resistors holding up?

[@aaronhaight22]

Burnt out unfortunately, trying to figure out the most reliable brand, tried various LED bulbs but they all burn out eventually due to the extreme heat it endures, I’m honestly thinking of getting projector headlights to be honest.

[@401jeffrey]

@@aaronhaight22 do you know what projectors you're looking at? I was going to buy LED w/resistors but they seem to burn out faster then OE

[@gridarmorfix]

@@aaronhaight22 it's not really about brand it's about keeping them cool, mounting them to the metal of the car will help dissipate the heat they produce, combine that with an area that gets good airflow and you should be fine.
