My low beam headlights are too dim. I think they might have been replaced before, but I’m not sure what type they are. I have a 2018 Grand Cherokee Limited. Can someone suggest some bright replacements and provide a link to where I can buy them? Please include the specific part number. I see what’s listed in the owner’s manual, but the vehicle match on Amazon doesn’t always match those numbers.
To get the brightest lights, should I go for HID or will LED work? I really need better visibility, so any help would be appreciated!
There are two lighting options for the WK2: Halogen and HID. If you have Halogen lights, the low beams use H11 bulbs, and the high beams use H9 bulbs. For a brighter replacement, Silverstars are a good option. You can also check out kits from Morimoto. HID lights use a D3S bulb.
Some people have modified the brighter H9 bulb to fit in the H11 socket.
I had factory halogen bulbs, but they were too dim (I got used to the LED bulbs in my Audi). I found these custom H11 LED bulbs that fit my Jeep Grand Cherokee (2017-2021) well because they come with a dust cap and fit our housing properly. After using them for about 10,000 miles and 8 months, I can say they are a great upgrade.
Many LED sellers claim their bulbs fit, and while they may be H11 bulbs, they often don’t fit because of the driver on the back. Plus, the original dust cover usually won’t fit either.
Lasfit solved this issue. I installed new low beams, high beams, and fog lights—all of them. The fog lights are neat because you can switch between yellow fog lights and white driving lights using the fog light switch.
I don’t want to sound like I’m promoting Lasfit (I’m not; I’m just happy with what I got from them when other products didn’t fit as promised), but they offer a solution that’s much cheaper than Morimoto.
I can’t say how good this product is since I haven’t used it, but if it’s as good as the one I tried, I would definitely consider it. Just a heads up about this product: it’s not plug-and-play. It comes with two adapter wires, which you can use to connect to the factory wires.
The WK2 has either halogen or HID headlights. Depending on the year, it might have LED surrounds or daytime running lights (DRLs), but it doesn’t have LED headlights.
If you want to switch to LED, Morimoto has a replacement or upgrade option available.
If you’re looking for a cheaper option, there are brighter bulbs available. But if you want better performance without blinding other drivers with bright white LED glare, it won’t be cheap. Keep in mind that none of these housing “upgrades” are legal for street use unless they have a DOT stamp of approval. Some places are starting to pay attention to this during their annual safety inspections.
