Greetings to all fellow members of this prestigious forum. I have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee Country and would like to change all conventional lighting to LED. Acquired a Grote 44090 Five-Pin Electronic LED Flasher to replace the factory, but I have a question: I acquired the correct LED Electronic Flasher for my model vehicle? How many Electronic LED Flasher using this model, 1 or 2? This is all I need to change in order to install the LED bulbs in my Jeep? Thanks in advance for the help you can give me about it.

 

I would replace the standard light assemblies with one with LED built in.

I would not attempt to use stock stuff with LED bulbs. It just doesn't work out.

 

Thanks for responding Firestorm500. You mean I have to leave the original relay and change the original terminals on my turn signals and install terminals made ​​for LED? Sorry for my ignorance, but I am new to the world of the XJ, what the connectors to which you refer would, could you please post a link? Thanks in advance for your help.

 

That's not exactly true...and what assemblies are you referring to? I've never seen aftermarket housings that are physically much different from stock besides appearance, with LEDs "built-in". They all use standard bulb sizes, which then you can get LED bulbs that plug in. That is unless you do some fabrication or buy some aftermarket taillight boxes.

OP, you are on the right track with that flasher. I've done some LEDs on my jeep, but not the brake or turning signals yet. Go ahead and plug those new bulbs and flasher in, and see what happens. I do believe another route you could take is to splice a load resistor in the wiring, but I haven't ventured there yet and that's all I know.

 

Thanks for your response PocketsEmpty, I will try with this flasher but The question I have is about where it goes based on my 1995 Cherokee? Because in the fuse box located inside the vehicle (below the steering wheel) and according to the diagram, corresponding to the relay is round and has only three holes, while the Grote flasher has five legs . Where should I install this relay? Or is it that in my 1995 cherokee this relay is located somewhere else? Thank you again.

Admittedly I have second-hand information on Jeeps, but I have seen posts on here where people messed up and/or fried their wiring messing around with trying to do an LED conversion on their stock stuff.

When I upgraded my Chevy truck I got new assemblies with the LEDs built in. Pretty much plug and play.

I don't feel qualified to try to tell someone what modifications to stock stuff to make that won't catch on fire.

 

Stupid phone, I have nothing to add....,

 

You're going to be hard pressed to find an LED tail light that will be durable and function well. The drop in OEM replacement LED bulbs are not super durable and they often don't illuminate the tail lamp properly. Most of the idiots I see running around here put in the cheapest LED tail lights they could find and wound up with a LED bulb that illuminates a section of the tail light about the size of a bottle cap.

Your best bet is to stick with the OEM incandescent bulb if you want to be seen and not have your tail light randomly fail on you from a small bump in the trail.

I can think of a couple of other viable options that I have seen before:

1. Make your own LED tail light out of breadboard. Fit dual intensity LED's to the board and mount it inside of the tail light lens using a silicone for durability. This will give you a wide spread of intense light that will get you noticed very easily.

2. Remove the tail light assembly and fit body armor in place around the quarter panel, then install aftermarket LED lights into the body armor.

 

Thank you for your help, I will to red these posts and take advantage of all the good details that I can get at them.

 

Thanks for the advice Xpress, I'll keep doing some research, but perhaps the best option is to place a quality bulbs and leave the system as much as possible the original lighting.

 

Well I've never been hit from behind in any of my Jeeps, and they all have stock tail light bulbs.

 

You're right Firestorm500, thank you very much for your opinion, the idea of ​​posting on this forum is to learn from the experiences of each and make the positive side these leave us.

 

That's because they don't buy the right ones. I actually am experiencing the same thing with my reverse lights. Got some cheapo LED projectors on eBay. They don't light up the entire housing. But the light that shoots out the back is bright enough to make up for that.

The lights you need are 360 degree viewing angle ones, they have LEDs plastered all over the sides of them. Not just out one way.

I recommend SuperBrightLEDs as you know what you're getting, fast shipping, and they are a great company with high quality products.. eBay...well you're taking a chance.

 

Every LED bulb I've put in my vehicles tail lights has failed. You wind up either with the wrong bulb or a bulb that works properly but eventually fails because there's so many components on them. All it takes is for one component to fail and it's all downhill from there. Been there done that. Gotta come up with a clever solution to the issue..
