A little tip for working with silicone: put a dab of liquid dish soap on your finger then run it along the silicone and you can smooth it out without it sticking to your finger. 👍🙂
Was about to purchase the Gen 2 Morimotos for $560 Black Friday deal. Then I found the VLANDs and watched another video then yours. The Blue DRLs sold me as I have blue fog lights, plus the $200 cheaper price tag I have a 2018 Trailhawk that came fully loaded minus the premium lighting. Excited to get mine in. Hoping that the high beam issue is in the past, I use mine alot. Great video BTW!
Just fyi. The blue is only the intro display. You cannot drive with the blue on. Also the high beam issue was actually figured out. It’s just a plug that needs to be switched over in the driver side unit. It’s a thing with polarity. But that’s gonna be nice
I have these on you my 2014 limited. They made a huge difference in looks and function. I do want to stop the startup animation because they may fail inspection in my state so thank you for giving that lil tidbit on turning those off.
I've been looking at these for awhile but was worried about how'd they look and if they would actually fit and look. Glad you did it for us all to see them. Definitely looking forward to an update on these down the road. Really wish they had an option for green drl though.
My 14 WK2 came with the original upgraded HID headlights , and I love them especially the LED running daylight , the only I worried was when the LED strip daylight would die or stop working , since it’s a a none replaceable part and u would have to buy an entire headlight, the only option was OEM or the missimmoto and those run over a $1,000 bucks , I checked your link and I was shocked , surprised at the price of $390 for the set , now I know if I ever need to replace mines to get these at a very low price
Head lights are golden. The only thing with these lights is, it looks like the manufacturer setup the high beam plugs upside down causing most people to think the high beams don’t work but you have to flip the connections and then it’s all good
Just picked me up a 2021 5.7 Trailhawk ! Super stoked bought 2nd hand with only 28k on her this will be my 3rd Grand Cherokee my first was a 95 with the 5.2 lifted it with 3’’ suspension on 33’s 2nd one was 2012 srt 8 threw a Maggy 2.9 on with all the bells and whistles had that for a solid 5yrs bar none the most fun and brutally unfair performance vehicle I’ve ever had! And this before Trackhawk came out so it was just nasty. Fast forward 2018 built me a Rubicon Recon edition Jk long arm king coilovers the whole nine had fun with that. Now it’s all about slowin my roll a bit grabbed this Trailhawk and exited to upgrade this girl and make her a tough good lookin daily that’ll do it all ! Love the Grand Cherokee platforms up to 2021. Don’t know about this next gen but they don’t look to promising.
Oh yea you’ve had them all. Yea I’m not too sure about the WL. The manufacturer really likes that air suspension haha. Stay tuned though I got a little surprise for the build.
Great non-tutorial! 😂 I believe this might depend on whether your WK2 had them to begin with, but the spacer actually has a washer module built in - which explains the cut out in the middle of it - that sprays the housing to clean it. I've never seen it in action so I have no idea how it actually works, but that's my understanding. It's the precursor to the remodeled ones which remove the spacer in favor of the grille that matches the contour of the lights, but where you'll notice the little square cutout under the light. Also, I'm likely to get the Morimotos largely because i really want the LEDs for night driving. I was disappointed how dim the HIDs were when I got my 2014 (even after replacing the bulbs). Yours looks dope though, a great alternative!
@@iamkevinmccarthy thanks. I’ve had the morimotos in my cart for almost a year but I just couldn’t justify it. But now I see they came out with another set that’s more like these and less expensive
Those are dope 😎 they look good on yur WK2. Been thinking about doing it to mine but I still like the old school look. You may have changed my mind tho lol
Honestly the piggy back still has me stumped. I thought it was for the DRL but the DRL still works without it. And yes it connects to both lights then to the fuse box. I can’t remember which fuse slot but I think I said it in the video.
@ oh my bad your right. Honestly I just found some random small screws in my miscellaneous screw and boot bucket that worked. I just eyed it. Didn’t give it much thought
Wassup my Braddah as usual nice upgrade to your Jeep! Cuzin! You gotta get some cordless impacts etc....lol make things easier and faster.......as always, Love and Aloha my Braddah!!!
Did you watch the video? 😂 You have the option to turn the animation off if you’d like The blue only comes on with the animation. They have been holding up great so far.

@@GrandExploration my srt currently has the same set up I just bought new headlights the previous owner had the rgb drl but no longer work, I wonder if I can just remove it from my old set up
@@G900_BRABUS I don’t know too much about the Lexus. I hear they are nice and have a rear straight axle which is stronger and has more flexibility.?”but I guess my question to you is. Are you comparing it to the jeep grand Cherokee? Or a jeep wrangler? I assume the grand cherokee. Toyota motors seem to be more reliable. Mpg is going to be determined by your weight.

@ I watch videos of both cars on TH-cam and they both run very well, that's why I asked. I want to buy one and can't decide which one to buy, that's why I'm asking all the off-roaders. I really like your jeep, you have a good build, too🙂👍🏻

@@AutomotiveCentral_AC I just put it in the DRL slot but you can use the cigar fuse too. And I haven’t figured out the highbeams. I never use them so I didn’t think to check.

@@GrandExploration anyword on the highbeam function? also where did you find the directions? none came w my lights and not finding them on the internet. Thanks!
@ found them on the internet. But the solution for the high beams won’t be found. I actually got some help from a subscriber. It’s a manufacturer defect. So the plug the connects to both your headlights at the top is upside down. Pull the connector out and flip it around. That’s the easy part. Then you have to do the same to your original high beam plug but for some that means shaving off the clips to get it to fit properly.
@@madisonreed8406 they have been working great but something happened to the blue intro display on the driver side. Sometimes it turns blue and sometimes it just goes straight to white. I need to pull it out and see if a connection came loose

I was just wondering what happened to your buddy with the wj ?? Love the look the new lights gave it.
Thanks. His Jeep was down for a while. But he’s back. We are headed out tomorrow actually
Figured out the high beams. It’s the polarity. Flip the plug for the high beams. It works now.
I haven’t gone in a done it yet. But don’t think you could send me a pic through IG?
