Hi @Maninblack ,

There are others on this forum that are much more knowlegeable about changing lights (halogen to HID or LED) but just a couple things:

• Another source of used parts for Cherokee's is eBay or car-parts.com.

• According to your VIN, you currently have normal halogen headlamps (BI-FUNCTION HALOGEN PROJECTOR H/LAMP)

Here's the site to get your build sheet: FCA RAM​

​

I also attached a copy below.​

​

​

• In addition to the genuine Mopar units, you can get replacement bulbs (e.g. if LED) or bulb & ballast (if HID) for using in existing halogen housings.

 

Have a look at CarID. The TYC lamps are a good pick, from what a few members here have reported over the years. Price is good too. Others are probably just as good :

2014 Jeep Cherokee Custom & Factory Headlights – CARiD.com

If you’re in need of replacements for your 2014 Jeep Cherokee, our selection of custom & factory headlights includes projector beams, LEDs, Halos and more.

You can probably do a Google search on some of those, maybe to find a better price elsewhere.

Thanks for all the info guys! I'll take your leads and run with the them.

I am a little late to this discussion, but I thought your car insurance has "comprehensive coverage".
So your insurance should pay for the new headlight.
"Comprehensive coverage on your car insurance policy typically covers deer accidents. Comprehensive coverage may help pay to repair or replace your vehicle if it's damaged when you hit a deer. "
Am I missing something or do I need to have a long discussion with my insurance agent?

You're correct @sanghill . OP may not want to go through insurance if his deductible is high (e.g. $500 ded. ) but the part is less and he's planning on doing it himself anyway because he wants to upgrade to HID at the same time.

Unless it's major damage, I avoid using my insurance like the plague because I don't want my rates to increase. I have 5 kids, all 19-22, so I'm living on borrowed time because it's only a matter of when one of them hits a mailbox, backs into a tree or some rookie move like that which will cause my rates to go up 😒

 

You're correct on my coverage. But as already mentions, I don't want my rates affected so I'll just do the work myself.

On instance - many, like myself carry high deductibles to keep the insurance bill a bit more reasonable, but since he is upgrading (read: changing), it may be best to just keep it at home, besides, in many cases if you file a claim - and are denied - the insurance companies will still consider it to be a claim and you could either be cancelled or your rates increase.
