Sorry for the late reply but the 2014-2015 Jeep Cherokee do require resistors for the XenonDepot LED Headlight Kits to function properly.

Jeff - if your Cherokee is a 2014 or 2015 model you will just need a resistor with the 9012 XenonDepot LED headlight kits.

I've installed LED headlights into my 2014 Cherokee instead of halogen lamps.
They only worked when engine is off, when I started engine, it became an error of headlight and lights became off.
I afraid of using resistors because of their overheating and just asked my friendly mechanic to change program from Halogen to HID.
For now it's working, I have LED headlights, no errors, no problems, just great light!)

Hey Man,

I have XenonDepot LED's in my truck with resistors. They work great! I will tell you however, no matter what you do you will get a warning telling you that your headlights are out.

Good Luck!

Jeff: I'm happy with my LED lights...but did give XenonDepot customer service feedback that their answers to me on whether or not I needed CANBUS differed for my 2016 TH post-purchase. Why? I ended up delaying my install, and ordering the CANBUS. When I installed, I found that I did not need the CANBUS (and I could not return it)--the one XenonDepot told me on the phone I needed--when received--found out it is for HID. The directions are confusing and the customer service complicated matters. I could figure it out eventually, but have a box of parts left over. BTW, I've had zero error codes.
*Summary: Maybe you need CANBUS, maybe you don't. Caveat emptor. Seriously, good luck.

Will any mechanic do this or will a dealership do this???

Hi and welcome to the forum

What exactly did you have in mind ? Swapping out halogen headlight bulbs for LEDs? If so, I highly recommend... you not do it.

Let us know what's up and which model year is your Cherokee.

Thx.

You will have to find a shop in your area that does this type of work, and as Mark said don’t get LED get HIDS they work way better in the KL factory projector housings. Hids put out a better light pattern with better usable light.
If you have any electrical ability you can install an HID kit yourself, lots of us have installed our own kits.

I'm confused and lazy to look it up ... I have a 2020 TH with stock lights. What are they? Halogen or LED? Whatever, ice-covered them when I went into harsh snowy conditions skiing 2 years ago. I say they are not hot enough. What say you? Thanks.

You have a 2020 all 2019+ models have LED headlights, that's quite common with LED headlights to not create enough heat. Its a common issue/complaint with Wrangler and Gladiator owners that have factory LED headlights as well.
