I finally got everything I needed to install my OEM bixenon headlights on both the silver 2011 Laredo E and the Deep Cherry 2012 Laredo X.
If you have been following some of my prior posts I was building two pair of interface harnesses for the retrofit.
The aim of the install was to retain all the basic functions of the headlight being Low beam, hight beam and flash to pass. The second part was to use factory connectors and not have to hack up the wiring harness or modify the headlights.
For the silver car I used DOT spec headlights
For the Deep Cherry car I used modified E-Code headlights. ( E-codes don't have side markers so I modified the housings and used strip LEDs)
The most difficult part was designing and building the harness.
Installing the headlights was a breeze, if you have removed the bumper cover and grille before then you can have the swap done in about 45 minutes.

Look here for what is needed to build the harnesses http://www.jeepgarage.org/f176/halogen-to-oem-bi-xenon-retrofit-harnesses-to-retain-flash-to-pass-49847.html
Here you can see the swap beginning.
Here you can see the harness connected to the low and high beam plugs.
The finished product!!!!
Low beam on...
Just park lighs on.
Here are my LED running lights, the camera makes them look like they are really bright but they are not as bright as DRLs
Here is a crappy night shots I took.
