I know this video is old but I managed to replace the glove compartment bulb by simply removing the glove box switch. It has 2 prongs on each side with a small flat head screwdriver just squeeze each side and it will pop out
Savior!!! I changed all the bulbs to LED in my jeep a year or two back but the one in my lift gate recently started flickering. I couldn’t remember if I needed a socket or not so thank god I watched this vid. Took me 2 mins with a trim tool.
There is a much easier way to replace the glovebox light. If you look inside of where the light plugs in, just above it you will see a small black tab. If you depress this tab with a pair of needle nose pliers the entire bulb unit and on/off depression switch will slide out of the glove box. Allows you to swap the light without the risk of dropping it. Simply pop it back into place when finished.
I just ordered the same interior set as you. Thank you for the tip about the glove box! I also like your card trick too. Previously, I went with DD for my tail light bulb upgrades, huge improvement over stock and look awesome.
I went with the HP11 bulbs for the brake and turn signal and then the XPR for the tailgate backup. I thought it gave off plenty of lumens but wasn’t blinding bright. Also used AlfaOBD to configure the outside/body backup light bulb(7440) as the turn signal. It looks so much cleaner.
it would be nice if you had done all the diffrent whites you mention. Like that we all can pin point which one we like more. But anyways thanks for this great video
You can take the panel off the side of the glove box and go through the side to get the bulb also. But definitely use the tape method. Worked for me. That way you can use both hands to press the bulb in from the bottom at the light switch and the right side of the dash where the panel is.
Hi Vlad. Watching from the U.K. Nice work. I changed the interior lighting to LED's a while back, but yeah man, that glovebox is a real mutha to remove and replace. I had to do the same thing and just be patient and I got there eventually. My hands were trashed too, lol. Keep up the good work.
well , no doubt the low beam on passenger side is a PIA. use a mirror to line yourself up. Regarding the glove box issue. with a mirror, yes there is a tab you can push in and then the unit will come out. gracefully no, you have to bull it out. but if you do, so much easier.
Don’t grab the bare map light with pliers, it will shatter. Cover it with sticky duct tape and leave a little tail on it..grab that with pliers and pull it out
I just installed my interior LED upgrade following your video except for the glove box which I will do it later alone. I am thinking of rapping a piece of paper or fabric behind it and fix it using tap. Just to grab the bulb if falls. Thanks for the guide.
Great video! The headlights sucked putting in but well worth it. I will probably do my map lights and footwell light. So, in my glove box on 18 grand cherokee, it is missing the clip on the left side that keeps that side closed.....I have called dealership, looked on pages, forums, and no one has part number or knows where to get it. Thought you might have idea of where might could find one. I am going try some salvage yards next time I'm by some as well. Thanks
Hey man great Job but I have a issue with putting back the plastic cover over the review mirror because one of them came out even doe you didn’t take it out completely please thank you
Sup fellow WK2 crew. Anybody have any ideas on how to tackle the interior rear passenger lights? Thanks, Vlad, for all of your videos! Have done all the mods you posted and then some.
Hey great video real quick question how do I change the rear passenger dome lights? I would like to change them to LED and what do you recommend. Thank you for your time and great video
Thank you. Those are harder, you need to disassemble them, remove the yellow LED & solder a white LED to the PCB board. I will have a video hopefully soon & a plug-and-play option for purchase as well to make it easier.
Thanks for this video. I did the map lights and vanity sun visor bulbs. Your demonstration eliminated a lot of the guesswork. Re the map lights, the smaller, lower ones (where you leave that end of the cover attached) is not an LED and there's a distinct difference now. Have you removed the lower bulbs on the map lights? I'm hesitant to try to remove that cover completely, it might break. ('18 Trailhawk). Thanks.
I would be so triggered to have all white LEDs and have a few OEM LEDs that are off-color. Anybody have any lighting kelvin suggestions to somewhat match those? Overall, really good video! LEDs are a lot brighter than halogens for sure.
Appreciate your videos, I see you went with the 4k but recommend the 3k on oem+. How do you feel the 4k matches the factory color inside led? Normally I go 6k white, but normally I can change them all, so not an issue, but want them to match as best as possible. Thanks again
Thank you JK. 4k is close to the factory LEDs, but the 3k will be exactly like the factory map LEDs & the rear seat overhead ones. It will still be significantly brighter than the halogens. Also, I will have plug and play 6K replacements for the overhead map lights & the rears. To be released sometime this summer.
I have the 2018 jeep grand Cherokee limited you have any ideal on running fog lights without headlights on in my 1999 you can do this wondering if you can on the 2018??
Small push button ones? Yeah with those, the headliner has to come down and have to solder in new & brighter LEDs. I see you're a man that likes speedball! Me too, I have a gen 1 Infamous CS2.
I do, they require the headliner to come down, unless you have the PANO roof then you can reach them. You have to remove the assembly and solder in new LEDs. I'm currently working on a plug & play option for that. Stay tuned for that. Still in testing stage.
Hey mate ! I have a 2018 GC. The factory HID Osram bulbs look boring and kinda yellow. I think they are stock 2800lumen. Can you suggest me any bulb please. Something a bit more white
@@thisguyvlad17 thank you ! You are a superstar 🙌🏻 getting this immediately.. really getting bored of the stock lights not that there is anything wrong with them.. thank you once again 🙏🏻
I recently changed the map lights but now, on both sides, I cannot push the cover to turn the light on/off as it wont click. Any ideas as to what could have caused this? (Other than gorilla hands)….
Yeah basically it's not clicking because the part you pulled it down from the (aluminum/ silver ) part at the top needs to be slide back into position. Line it back up with the black part . Try sliding the silver part left and right and you will see what I mean. It's not about going up or down, just force it left or right then put your plastic cover back on and you'll watch it click again. Good luck 👍🏽
I have a 2020 limited with HID headlights. I want to change to white bright LED. Do I have to buy a low and high bean or do you know if there is a led that do both?
They make a bright white D3S HID bulb, that's what you currently have in yours. You'll want to find a 5500K or 6500K D3S HID bulb. Don't cheap out! Stay with quality brands like OSRAM, Diode Dynamics or PHILIPS.
Yes, these will work on your 2015. You also have two bulbs in the rear for the grab handles that you can change as well. Mine doesn't have those, so I didn't show it.
..... Thanks for the video 👍 but, I'm telling everyone right now....my Diode Dynamics map lights and footwell lights came today for my '18 Grand Cherokee (didn't order the glovebox light because i couldn't install that last week, in my '23 Challenger 🤦♂️). If your lights work in your Grand Cherokee, leave them alone! This is a MAJOR aggravation, same as on the Challenger!!! You cannot grab the map/dome lights with needlenose pliers or tape, or anything else!!! And if you try and bend the silver metal plate to get to the bulb easier, that is around the inside, it will mess up the on/off push ability of that light!!! Do yourself a favor if you're reading this, if your lights are working and you don't want/need anymore aggravation in your life (over something so small/stupid)..... leave well enough alone!!! 😖..... Actually, the footwell lights in this/'18 Grand Cherokee are super easy to change, the cover just pops off and you can grab the light and pull it right out!!! Oh, and on a '23 Challenger, the trunk light is easy to change!!! Anything else on these 2 vehicles....if the lights are working, i would let well enough alone!!! If it ain't broke, dont fix it!!!🤣😅🤣
@@thisguyvlad17 thanks for the quick reply. Did it come as a kit or did you have to buy all the bolts and brackets separately? I’m looking to add them to my 2019.
No mine are factory. I was meaning that Rough Country sells tow hooks as well with hardware, but I don't know if the dealer or Mopar sells it as a set.
Boy these map light bulbs are giving me a heck of a time coming out lol
Medical Tape is the way to go haha made the whole process so much easier!
The passenger side came out easy, but the drivers side took a min 🤦♂️

See I saw that and tried that it it didn't work for me. I'll try to take it out and make an updated video thank you Julian.
Was just going to write this.. same light holder on most Mopar vehicles and the whole assembly comes out.
Yeah dude worked like a charm that way. Good looking out to both of you 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
I didn't find it, but that small oval panel by the door can be remove. That gives some space to stick a finger in there and wiggle that light back in
I just ordered the same interior set as you. Thank you for the tip about the glove box! I also like your card trick too. Previously, I went with DD for my tail light bulb upgrades, huge improvement over stock and look awesome.
Awesome, can't go wrong with DD. I'll be updating my exterior lighting to DD soon.

Ahh you did the euro spec tails! I like that! 👍
What about the bulbs by the grab handles in the rear pass area on the headliner?
looks like the roof panel needs to be removed :(
@@matejhloznik it's a 1 minute job to pull it, and they are 194 bulbs
This was my question.
@@loveracing1988thought those were LEDs
@@dwbee2000 maybe on the later years. Not on my wife's 2014

Great video! You make it look easy. I ordered blue HP3 footwell lights, cool white vanity lights, and everything else same as you.
Thanks! I try really hard to make it easy haha and awesome!
Your tip helped me out tremendously. Thanks for the bid.
Glad it helped!

What about the ones above the rear seat??
Excellent video! Thanks. Wayne Major
Thank you kindly!
neat vids on the led swaps, i like the oem+ list too, cheers
Thank you!
Dude. Goated fkn video. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video!!
You're welcome!
What about back seat dome lights
Cool videos. Thanks
Great video!
I ended up making a tool with my 3D printer to get that glove box light out, Your trick would have saved me a lot more time tho.
That's awesome! I would love to 3D print a bunch of stuff. Just seems like a steep learning curve.
@@thisguyvlad17 I use Tinkercad witch is free and super easy to use. If you have done wood working or similar kinda of work you will be just fine.
Way easier way to do dash bulb on the side of the dash it's a place to install it
Thanks...
OMG... just get on with it, pleeeeeese!
It seems as though you miss two of them, right above the back seats on the ceiling. Are those the same bulbs as the liftgate?
The ones above the rear seats in my GC are built in LEDs and require soldering new LEDs.
Very helpful! Thanks!!

I have to stop watching your videos. My jeep is perfect and then here you come… I’ve bought the floor mats, the net, and cargo mat. Now lights!!!
Haha 😄 You're welcome and I'm just getting started.
You missed a couple bulbs bud. What about the lights above both of the rear doors?
Mine is a 2017, the ones above the rear doors are LEDs already. That's why I didn't show it.
Anyone know the type of bulb that would go in the grab handle lights off the rear doors, not the trailgate
Great video 👍
Sup fellow WK2 crew. Anybody have any ideas on how to tackle the interior rear passenger lights? Thanks, Vlad, for all of your videos! Have done all the mods you posted and then some.
Yeah you'll have to tear the roof down and use LED circuit board lights same as the two little map lights in the front . Good luck
