I knew when I ordered my '19 Citadel that the projector fog lights would not be very good (wife's 200 has the same fog lights that are worthless), and of course the miss match color with the HID headlights.

My initial plan was to pick-up a set of the newer LED fogs used on the GT, RT, and SRT; however that plan went off the track when I compared the surrounding bezel shapes, will not work.

So, I had a left over set of H11 5900K Xenon super white 100W bulbs from my 2012 Ram Laramie Longhorn. Installed them the second day I owned the '19, still not that bright because of the projector lens; however at least they are white matching to the HID.

Let us know if you find any LED pod replacements.

 

The Jeep Grand Cherokee LED foglights are a bolt in, PnP solution. But they’re kind of pricey, around $100 each. Part #68228884AC, there’s a couple people on the Facebook pages who have done it with the TYC ones and they love them. Blows aftermarket pnp led bulbs out of the water.

Diode Dynamics has a great LED fog light bulb, the SLF. If you go the pnp led route, I highly recommend finding some without fans. The fans get all gummed up with dust and whatever else from the road, which causes the LED’s to fail. Diode Dynamics, as well as the Xenondepot ones I had, used heatsinks that were passively cooled. Never had a failure.

Also keep in mind fog lights are NOT supposed to be “bright.” They are supposed to be very wide and very narrow, like the LED ones on the new GT/RT/SRT front end. My 300 has basically the same ones. Way overexposed pic, but you get the idea. Even that close to the garage door my fog lights projected BEYOND the far right edge of the entire garage.

About 9 months ago I replaced the factory fogs on my 15 SXT with the JGC LED units, and they were about $100/each.
Full plug and play, no warning cancelers or extra parts needed; old housing popped out, new one snapped in with no modifications; plugged right into the factory harness and fired up first try. No flickers, no bulb out warnings.
I think mine still need to be aimed correctly, but overall I'm pleased with them.

 

How difficult was the install? Did the lights come with a pigtail, or did factory wiring just plug right into the back of the light.

Looks like there are aftermarket ones for $70/pair. I’m sure they aren’t as good of quality as the OEM ones, though.

 

If you can get these in your bulb size, they are very close match to the stock HID headlights. I loved these, and I tried many bulbs, including the Jeep SRT lights, which to me were a little on the blue side and didnt match

The factory housing has 3 clips, release them and the housing comes right out; replacement matched right up and snapped into place. No pigtail, factory harness plugged right into the new housing. Totally plug-n-play.
Hardest part was:
a) finding time to do it
b) getting my fat ass under the bumper

 

Thanks for the info!

I may take a gamble on the aftermarket fogs, and see how they are. I’m a little surprised that the Morimoto fogs from The Retrofit Source don’t seem compatible with the 2014-2018 Grand Cherokee. Those are $170 for the pair, and are likely super high quality.

 

I went with aftermarket bulbs that were 5000K and they are a bit too bluish and don't match the factory HID as well as I would have liked. As noted above if you can find aftermarket LEDs in the 4100-4300K range that would be a better match. I may yet end up replacing my aftermarket units with the factory JGC LED units in the Spring.

 

There were some valuable pics somewhere on the site. I put the TYC ones in. There are 3 soft metal tabs if I remember correctly. You need to pry them to straight back and the light releases. Also check Jeep garage. The pics may have been on there.

 

Plug and play. Perfect color match. Put them in my 2014 Citadel.

GTR LIGHTING FOG / DRL ULTRA SERIES H11/ H8 / H9 LED BULBS

gtrlighting.com

You will also need these: GTR LIGHTING PWM INTERFACE MODULE ( H11 STYLE CONNECTORS)

 

Did you order the PWM as a precaution? did you try to not install it to see if there is any flicker? I have a 14 limited and it seems like some are plug and play but some need a PWM.

 

I swapped the bulbs for some amazon cheap led bulbs.

 

Here are my LED fogs from a while back, installed in the driver's side, stock in the passenger side - hard to tell because its was still light out when the photo was taken

 

Has anyone with a 18+ Durango upgraded to the SRT/JGC LED fogs (68228884AC)? If so, did you run into any flickering? I’m seeing the guys on the Jeep forum having that issue on their 15+. I just bought a pair and hoping I don’t have those problems

Just confirmed with my dealer, I can add the OEM fogs then have the Premium LED Fog Lights” sales code added to prevent flickering.

Did the dealer say how much they would charge to do that?

 

If you are still looking to buy these they are now $69.99 for a pair of the aftermarket ones on eBay.

 

I saw them, but I’d rather buy the actual OEM ones, waiting for a seller on Ebay to accept/decline my offer on a set. I was able to get the dealer to add the sales code under my Rango, just have to get it installed and flash the BCM

I just bought a set of the eBay led fogs that look like the Jeep stock leds. With free shipping figured can't get hurt for $67 all in for the pair. Says they won't be in until next week, I'll post up some pictures once I get them.

 

I saw those, but decided to buy the OEM ones for $140 a pair brand new....being delivered on Monday

Did you get them installed today?

 

I did not, I actually had to ship them back to the seller this morning. He listed them as brand new, however, both lens was chipped.

I just got my set today as well. I'm just doing my homework before I start this. Looks like if your truck is 2015 and above you'll need an H11 anti flicker harness. I got mine on eBay, 125 for the pair shipped brand new. Can't wait for the install.

 

I’m going to get my BCM flash instead of using the PUTCO anti flick harness. Did you buy Genuine OEM or the TYC brand?

That's what I ordered. They are coming tonight so if you want I can give you some feedback before buying. I am going to try to get them in there tomorrow if possible or this weekend at the latest.

 

Please do, look for ward to seeing how they perform...I know it will be brighter than the ugly dull halogens.

Just checked and nothing else. I've been looking for a while to do this upgrade and once I saw the price I jumped on it.

 

Check Jeep forums, I've missed a few great deals there

 

I was able to find another set (New, without original packaging) for $150 shipped. Should be here on Monday

They arrived this afternoon. For knock off lights they look nice and feel like they are solidly constructed. Unfortunately the current wind chill is 12 degrees and I'm worried I would break one of those tabs off messing with them when it's this cold. Maybe tomorrow.....

 

Man, I'd have to have a garage and then I'd have one of those propane flame thrower heaters too.
Good Luck.

 

Installed my aftermarket fogs today. First off, install was super easy. Popped the old stock fogs out with a flat screwdriver popped the new ones in. Total time, 5 minutes. Plugged them in, fired right up, no flicker of anything like that. I can already tell in daylight that these new ones are way brighter than the 6000k 55w hid kit that was in the stock housings. One thing I didn't notice until I installed the new fogs, factory fog lights had frosted lens and these new ones have a clear lens. The clear lens gives the light a much more intense look. I'll fire them back up after dark and see how the light output is compared to the hid kit I had been running.

 

Mine will be in tomorrow and the temps won’t be too cold, so I’ll attempt installing. Did you have any issues with the rivets that hold the wheel well liner in place?

Took them out for the first time this morning on the ride to work. With DST starting it is back to being dark when I leave. Drove the whole way with just the fogs on, never even needed my headlights. Very bright light output, could see everything no problem. Having done halogen, led replacement bulbs and 55w hid kit prior to this I've got to say these far and away exceed any other bulb setup I've tried. Can't beat them for only $67 and about 5 minutes of install time.

 

Got a link for the $67 ones?

 

He wouldn't go under $67 when I bought them. They were only listed at $70 at the time. Brand is Winjet.

Interesting. There is another vendor selling the Winjet ones for $69shipped. Maybe I’ll just get those. It would be nice to toss them on when I do my next oil change.

I bought from him at $69 which seemed fair, and he shipped fast as I got them in 2 days.

 

Here is a picture of night output. This is fog lights only.

 

The output looks great, really no need for headlights. I attempted installing mine today, but wasn’t as easy as I was hoping just laying under the front. Will try again in the morning

They are not so bright that they blind on-coming drivers...correct?
I wouldn't want drivers to be flashing at me while my driving lights are on.

 

I think if they’re aimed properly, blinding on coming traffic shouldn’t be a problem
