2011 Grand Cherokee // LED DRL Headlight Upgrade
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 бер 2018
- Today on JD Cars we tackle the installation of new LED DRL Headlights on a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Not one person has made a video on the installation of LED DRL Headlights on a pre 2012 Grand Cherokee... so here it is! This installation may appear challenging due to the wiring, but it truly is not that complicated. If you are patient anyone can complete this DIY, with minimal tools, in a couple hours. The headlights themselves are high quality and very bright! Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe!

Dude 14k subs?! Been here since below 100...can’t believe it...good stuff man
I can hardly believe it either! Thank you for your ongoing support Chris!
I love how there’s two links in and neither link is for the headlights we just watched him install. 10/10 . Chefs kiss 👌🏾😘 . Completely non-rage inducing…….
Can the DRL light strip stay on with out the actual low or high beam lights turned on?
Looking for same setup for my 2018 grand Cherokee Laredo
i have a 2015 grand cherokee and i want these lights but the site is saying theyre not compatible. anyone know wher i can find some ?
does it fit 2p12 wk2 grand cherokee original(factory) hid light assembly?
Did you have to use an led decoder I'd so which kind and how many ? Does anyone know please help
The light bulbs from those headlights are led or u have to change those too?
Can you help me with my 2013 compass I need help installing the same headlights
Hi, I’m trying to find the exact match. The ones you have linked are not the Same on your 2012
hey. are these lamps still working for you? any fogging/condensation inside ?
I know this video is 3 years old but where did you get these headlights? Trying to switch out my 2014 headlights.
I also want to switch ou my 2014 headlights and the links in the video refers to a website where this headlights are not available. There s only stock headlights with led.
Hey man I was hoping you can shed some light on the name or type of harness that is for the low and high beams my car (2012) only has a pigtail.. thanks
I'm sorry but I have no clue!
Do you still have this jeep i have the same one couple years newer and i also live in MA and I would really like to ask you a couple questions about this install on this let me know thanks
Where did you order from??
Have u ever thought of doing a diy customisation on some headlight yourself, maybe your stock e90’s?
I’ve considered it, but the risky part is resealing the headlight
They are not available anymore 😢 any other option? Thanks
Can bust module? What’s that ?
I got these installed and work fine, however, the installer did not focus or align them very well. can you advise how this is done if the lights are already installed? Thanks.
There are adjustment screws/knobs on the top/back of the headlight. It’s difficult to explain where and how to access them - try to find a video or forum post with pictures
Does the module come with the headlight or you had to buy it separate and where can I get it? Plus I saw that this headlights can fit on the 2011 compass as well. Do I have to do exactly everything on the Compass?
The module comes with the headlight. I'm not familiar with the process on a Compass.
How did you get the HID Bi-xenons to fit? Website says its not compatible with overland. I have exact same jeep as you
A lot of the times it says it’s not compatible because years are off or something but to my knowledge the mounting is the same throughout the years of the WK2 but do your own research I’m not 100% but sometimes it just takes a little modification and usually can be done or if the connectors are the same usually it’ll work as long as it mounts
Will this work on the headlight with oem HID and auto leveling?
I’m not entirely sure, but these lights will not support that feature
You should do a video of you doing a brake fluid flush in your e90
I'll add it to the list!
Will it fit 99 Jeep geand
i want to know is the lighting good? hi beam/ low beam cuz i live in a countryside area and i need to know how the hi beam is?
The lighting is very bright. Try an LED bar if you need more light.
Do you know if those headlights fits in a 2015 grand Cherokee with halogen?
I don't think they will... unfortunately.
Where did you get the lights
That headlight is identical to the original or has some difference?
I wanna buy one that looks original
It looks just like the original!
Where did you get these headlights from ?
I'm iinterested in doing this. Can you send me some info on the type of lights you swapped with?
Link in description
Awesome job!! I plan on doing this to my 2012 WK2 JGC but mine is not equipped with DRL☹ How will I get them to turn on during the day, instead of running a switch directly to the fuse box? Any info would be greatly appreciated thx!
Hmm... well this car didn't have DRL originally, but we tapped into a power source.
@@JDCarsChannel So to be clear, you ran that 12g orange wire directly to the parking light wire for the DRL light? In other words you have to turn on your parking lights to give it that DRL look? Thx for your response 💪🏼
No switchback function?
Do this headlight come with a fan to keep the LED or HD headlight cool
No
Where can I purchase these lights
Do they support hids
Would those fit my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo? I’ve been looking for an upgrade
They should yeah!
did you ever change the lights i wanna get these for my 2013 grand cherokee i just got
Do these headlights leave a little gap between the bumper and headlight?.
Tiny- hardly noticeable
Do you need a conversion harness to put on a 2013 jgc?
I’m not sure, sorry
Hey JDCARS WHERE did you buy those healights??
Are these halogen or hid ?
would this work the same way for a 2014?
Yes
From where did you buy them
will these fit a 2012 jeep grand chorokee overland?
I believe so yes
Did you have factory hid? Wanna do this to my 13 overland
I think you can do it. I installed those headlights on my 2012 overland with hid
Hey, I'm considering buying, but couldn't find any reviews online. Do they fog up or have water ingress issues? any info would be much appreciated! Thank you.
No fogging up or water issues. Great headlights!
JD Cars Awesome! Thanks for responding!!
Was that the factory hid headlight assembly you replaced???
Yes
What model is he installing?
Will these work on a 2013 jeep grand Cherokee
They should!
Are these significantly brighter that the original?
Much brighter!
Do you have a shop on NY
For a 2012 GC Limited, will the wire splicing be required?
I'm not entirely sure, but it's not a big deal.
@@JDCarsChannel Thanks for the response. I know it's not a big deal, but it changes the tools/equipment that I'd need to have handy, if so.
Will this work on a 2011 Laredo? And would I have to buy different light bulbs ?
Not positive... it probably would work if the Laredo has the same style headlights. These bulbs should work.
Alex O Hey did you ever figure this out because I’ve been wanting to do this on my Laredo as well
Would you ever do this type of instal on a car. ? I live in MA too
DO it yourself. It's not hard!
Why not!
What year was this??
this would work on every WK2 right? Asking for a 2015
Theoretically yes - there might be slight variations in wiring
CanadianDucks These headlights are not made for at wk2 and do have the same wiring. Check out Mhfautolighting for wk2 headlights. They carry both OEM and after market headlights.
Would I be able to do this with my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 with factory HID?
Any word on this ?? Same exact options here
It only works with the one he did. halogen ones. Won’t work hid
The ones he swapped out are indeed he factory HID headlights. The grand Cherokee overland for that year came with HIDs
What’s the name of this lights
I have the xenon lamps on my GC overland 2011 (too expensive to replace) Would this upgrade fit?
What about the auto level, does it still work after the upgrade?
I am wondering this myself, did you end up trying them out? It sure looks like this overland in the video had the Bi-Xenon HID Headlamps as well. So I am assuming they would fit, I will contact the Ebay seller to confirm this.
Update?
You know of anything like this for a 2018??? Please help!
Sorry, I do not.
Did you have to adjust the headlights when you installed them?
Yes, most headlights will require adjustment after installation
Will these fit 2011 Jeep gc Laredo
They should!
Will this fit 2017 Laredo ?
I'm not sure...
Can you re-post the link to the headlights? The one above doesn't work. Thanks!
To add to this comment. i seen some on ebay for 300$ that are “led headlights” and then some for 700$ that are “hid headlights” but they look exactly the same. Will the 300$ ones work for factory hid models😅
@@coreyhamm8346 what’s the link of the headlights that you found
@@coreyhamm8346 yea post em
Hello JD. I installed the lights exactly like you recommended. However, I have run into a glitch. It's been about a month since install and my left head light has worked fine and have had a problem. When I turn on the headlights, the LED turns off. When I turn on the indicator, the LED turns off. This problem happened when I first installed them and went away for about 2 weeks only to return last week Any idea what to be causing this issues? Please help.
Any update on this issue?
May I suggest switching the positive and the negative for DRL.
hey i also have a 2011 jeep and i also want to upgrade it to these lights , so will the lights fit and which year light should i buy and do i have to change the bumper too?
Where did you get the ground you put on last from?
We're you able to find the ground connection on these lights?
I'm having the same issue
Do you have better lighting and more scope with those Chinese headlights than with the original lamps?
Yes, much better.
Melvin Campos you installed these same headlights on your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee and did not have to do any wiring? Just unplugged the old headlights and plugged the new ones in?
Prestige Auto Care wher i can by this lighs i need for my trock
Luis Rizo where can I get them from
Good morning where I can buy those headlights
Link in description
Link is broken. Brand and model would be helpful
What a pain just to get to the bulbs!
No... You can easily change the bulbs in the passenger side by reaching in... And all you have to do on the driver side is remove the air filter box... Literally takes not even 10 minutes and not a single bolt needs removed lol I just did it on the ol ladies 2012 overland summit..... The fog lights are a much bigger pain in the ass to get to... But the only reason they had to remove the entire bumper was to remove the housings.. You can literally access every bulb on the headlights right through the hood and the fogs from a gap they left in the wheels wheels by turning the wheels in
Yo bro im trying to install these in a 2012 GC limited, I don’t think it fits thoe
That's strange. Where is the fitment issue?
The headlights I bought, in the link you have down below, doesn’t have the connector for the grey circle looking cable.
What type were the originals? The video doesn’t really clarify what you started with.
Originals were stock halogen headlights with no DRL
Will this work on a 15 GC Altitude?
I couldn't tell you for sure.
Yes they do.
Can I personally bring my headlamps to you. I live in mass, not far from peobody
Did these come with bulbs already
Yes, they did
Hey man, does the automatic high beam feature still work after this upgrade? I’m going to do this to my 2011 overland
I'm not sure - I don't think this car was equipped with that feature
It doesn't work but they are very nice
J. Adrian Vazquez did you find any that does work? I have same Jeep and had the same question
I know your comment is 2 years old but I. Looking to purchase a 2012 JGC overland V8 Hemi. Would you recommend this car?
@@baked64111 I bought some similar aftermarket headlights and my auto high beam still works
Hi, since u r local, how much does the assembly cost, and would u be able to upgrade them for me? lol
About $300. And yes, I would be willing to!
Where in MA are you? I want to hire you to do this mod on my 2011 Grand Cherokee
Beverly area- shoot me an email on the jd-cars.com site
JD Cars wher i can by those i need for my trock grand sherokee 2011
JD Cars let me know please
Would these fit a 2015
Probably!
You bougth them in Amazon?
eBay
Where did you get the head light
eBay
JD, you have any issues with moisture in your headlights???
Nope!
I watched another video and the other guy said you should use some kind of silicone sealant to seal around the headlight
@@Khangbng 🤣🤣🤣🙂🙂🤣🤣👍🏾👍🏾
Why is the DRL wiring not working for me?
Tough to say. I would recommend double checking all connections with a voltmeter.
Hi! Loved the video... quick question. Just got a 2018 Grand Cherokee and have been contacting tons of shops trying to get that same headlight installed. Most of the shops just say that I would have purchase a trackhawk headlight ($3k) and have it modified to fit in my car. Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you so much!
I bet if you purchase these lights and bring them to a local shop you can get a less expensive quote. Feel free to provide them with this video for reference.
Where can you purchase these lights?
Where did the ground wire come from/go to that you screwed to the top headlight screw at the end of the video?
Never mind realized that the negative wire is from the hid kit.
Correct
How much?
Do you need new floor liners for your Grand Cherokee please? Our company can provide them free, I can't find a way to contact you except here.
Floor liners, or floor mats? Please submit a contact form at www.jd-cars.com
hey will these fit a 2015 GC ?
I would think so, but I'm not positive.
Adrian Toia NO!
How did you add the light bar under the license plate?
Zip ties :D
JD can you check my comment on your Panting bumper lip video please
Anyone have a link to where I can buy these...

These are the best alternative I could find in stock
@@JDCarsChannel they no longer carry the other ones? If you have a part number I can keep looking.
@@JDCarsChannel one more thing the 14 model headlights will fit the 11? And is there any finessing around to get them to work properly?
So I bought those from the link in your description, took the bumper out, only to find out that one connector is different. I have a 2011 GC Laredo, but it doesn’t have the gray connector that you showed in the video. Also, how many connectors do you have on your old headlight? Please reply ASAP or I’ll have to go to school without a bumper and the left headlight xD
I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t own this Jeep and I rarely work on it so I’m not too familiar with the wiring setup. I do know the wiring can be confusing..
Did you ever get it to work I also have a 2011 Gc Laredo without the projectors and I was wondering if I can get this to work somehow but no one ever reply’s
Did you figure it out?
Eriixk did you figure it out? Lol
SCHN4CK unfortunately it won’t work if you don’t have xenon from factory or the projects I had to get eBay headlights different ones , they wiring is very different so it wouldn’t work sadly
I honestly do not understand all that wiring work that you do I just installed the same in headlights in my Grand Cheeokee 2012 and I did not have to do any of that you just put off the old ones put the new ones and connect and that was it
That's because this is a 2011
and with that ? there is no difference in the headlights of a Grand Cherokee year 2011-2012 2013
Melvin Campos, did you have any issues with moisture in your new lights? They say it’s an issue with the upgrades.
it is advisable before installing them to put a layer of transparent silicone against water on the edges to avoid the filtration of moisture, I did it and had no problems in heavy rain
Melvin Campos What model did you do this on because I’ve been thinking of doing it on my Laredo and I’ve been trying to figure out if it’ll work
Where did you purchase them?
eBay
JD Cars do you have the link?
Where you get the headlights from??
eBay or Amazon-- they can be hard to find in stock
@@JDCarsChannelwhat’s the name of the headlights
Where you buy them bro
Link below bro
Thanks beo
This video is a prime example of why i never buy cars that have been modified. Even something as simple as a hack job with the wiring can significantly screw up the modern electrical system of a car over time. There is no chance that this install didn’t result in issues later down the line with corrosion and/or poor connections. Live and learn, I guess
I see the video 3 times, I have to pay for this adapter
Lol.. let's tap this 18g wire with a 12g extension. Haha.
Because ya.. bigger is better.
ANY REASON YOU'RE USING THE WRONG GAUGE WIRE ON A DEMO VIDEO? DO IT RIGHT OR NOT AT ALL!!
Lmao. Larger gauge wire will not negatively affect the lights. Only too small gauge wire would impact the lights.
something else i WONT be be doing to my car! way too much shit!!!!
Suit yourself :)
You fell off :(
