Here's the back story:
I'm working on a 2011 Jeep GC Overland 5.7L w/bi-HID headlights.
I need specs on the system to make sure I don't hurt the BCM or other electronics.
The headlight assemblies are bad b/c FCA Designed them Bad(!).
They cost over $3K to replace new, and used are junk well into $1.5k, so no sense in throwing good money after bad.
The guy bought Spyder Signature series headlight assemblies to replace the factory ones.
But these new ones only use Halogen bulbs (or maybe I can do LED if I pick the right ones to fit the short cavity).
The low beams are projector type and the high beams are straight Halogen (no projector) in a typical parabolic 'dish'.
Has anybody done a HID downgrade to Halogen or LED on a system like this?
Does anybody know if I need to do anything special to accomplish this?
If I go halogen I'll get Osram Night Breaker Laser or the equivalent in Sylvania, Phillips or GE.
If I go with LED, then maybe someone knows of a QUALITY kit that works (since aftermarket LED 'upgrade' kits are mostly garbage)?
I did it today.
Just split the bi-HID for the 2 separate bulbs (hi & low).
Signal, side marker and parking lights connectors plugged right in.
Works great.
Only thing is, no DRL.
Maybe I'll try to retrofit the auto-leveling motors to these headlight assemblies.
