2014+ MOPAR Plug+Play HID Kit - RESISTOR FREE!

Guys!

We've recently come out with a new component that makes upgrading to HID literally plug+play. No relay harnesses, no resistors, no capacitors - simple plug+play. XenonDepot's all-new PWM module makes installing an HID kit on 2014+ Mopar vehicles plug+play!

We've tested this component on the following vehicles:

2014 Jeep Cherokee
2015 Jeep Cherokee
2016 Jeep Cherokee
2016 Ram 1500
2016 Chrysler 300c

As you can see... we're missing a WK2!!

We're looking for a forum member with a 2015+ (2015 or 2016) Jeep Grand Cherokee without the factory HID lights that is looking to upgrade the lights on his/her vehicle to HID with an HID kit.

We will send you a FREE XenonDepot HID Kit - in exchange for a detailed DIY guide.

Notes:

- You most likely need to remove the inner fender well or front bumper to install an HID Kit on the WK2

- You will need to drill a hole in the dust cover on the back of the headlight to run the wire that goes from the HID bulb to the ballast.

- Installation will be plug+play. Literally: Car Harness ==> PWM Module

- You've got previous DIY posting experience

Installation is literally this easy - Car Harness ==> PWM Module ==> Ballast ==> HID bulb - that's it!

I'm sure there are going to be some questions....

(1) If you've already purchased a XenonDepot HID kit (Xtreme HID kit), then all you would need to do is get the XenonDepot PWM Module; You do NOT need to purchase a new kit.

(2) We cannot confirm that this product will work with any other HID ballasts or kits, nor is it intended to be used with another HID kit. This product is designed to work with the XenonDepot XTREME HID kit

In short: Plug+Play, no relay harness, no resistors, no polarity to worry about, just a simple plug+play installation.

If interested, please send me a PM with a link to a previous DIY that you've done.

First come, first serve.

Thank you for your interest!

Steve

I know this doesn't apply to me as I have an OEM HID equipped vehicle, but is there a reason this does not apply to the 2014 model? Did something change between 2014 and 2015 that makes these not usable on that year? Or even earlier ones too I suppose?

Steve - I have a '14 GC Limited on which I installed your Xtreme Digital HID kit. I'd buy the new PWM module for this vehicle just to eliminate some of the wiring, etc. if you're sure it would work. And to clarify, this PWM module would eliminate the need for a separate power connection to the battery to run the HIDs on my '14?

I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude Edition with the Halogen Projector headlights. I would love to participate as I've tried 3 kits now and nothing is working like I would expect. The focus and throw of the current kit I have is terrible and I'm switching back to the halogens until I can find something that works 100%. I will never buy from CarXenonHIDkits.com again. I made this mistake in thinking it was XenonDepot and wasted $200 and about 4 hours of my time running wires, ballasts, warning cancelers, and after that didn't work I had to order relays. After receiving the relays the HIDs worked well, but they just aren't fitted for this projector style Halogen. They project a U shaped beam and don't focus down range at all. I professionally installed stereos as a teenager and did 10 years as an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force so it's not user error. I would love to give you guys at Xenon Depot an in depth overview of installation and a non biased opinion. Let me know if the offer is still available.

@Basscl09 & @tmyers257- Unfortunately we've already got a few testers lined up already, but stay tuned for feedback!

@skunkd - I'm not sure what you mean by "patched up solution" but I can assure you that supposed "Canbus" ballasts are not a 100% solution for all MOPAR applications - they vary.

@b_zieman - The buzzing/humming noise coming from the ballasts is normal, as it's just the ballasts warming up.

@skunkd - I'm not sure what sort of testing you have personally done, how many different types of vehicles you've personally tested the product in, whether you've personally communicated with the ballast manufacturer of the ballast you are referencing - I'm guessing none.

Unless you've got something relevant to add I would appreciate it if you could please keep the thread on topic with relevant (factual) information.

Have to side with XenonDepot on this one. No need to be a wise guy @Skunkd. We are all here to help each other and XenonDepot was just trying to get some real world feedback before releasing a product which I can appreciate. I've been thru 3 kits now and wasted hundreds of dollars on HIDs that don't project properly in the projector style Halogens.

@skunkd what kit do your reccomend? And I assume you have the halogen projector lights on your 2015 WK2? How is the throw and pattern on them? I'm so frustrated with the kits I've received. I'm willing to try anything someone has found works great and is brighter than factory down range.

@skunkd - canbus is different from PWM -- I'm assuming you know this due to your expertise (the 2015 Cherokee is different from the 2016 cherokee btw).

Our 2015+ Mopar kits previously sold *work* on 2015+ Mopar vehicles across the board. This thread is for a completely different part that makes installation a lot simpler by omitting additional components that were previously required (such as relays, resistors, and capacitors).

What you're posting is not relevant to the topic being discussed in this specific thread (nor do I appreciate the insinuations you are making). If you want to find a plug for the kit that you're selling, please feel free to start a new thread and do so and stop spamming this one.

Re: >>XenonDepot Needs your 2015+ WK2 without HID lights

Just look in the ram forums and charger forums....the canbus fix doesnt work on all 15+. Ive been researching the 15+ charger...as my wife has one and its hit or miss with the canbus fix ballasts. The 15 charger is different from the 16 charger. Same with the 300.

Search a little harder. That's not correct if you use the right ballast you don't even need a separate canceller

Nope...it was the canbus ballasts. Not stupid. It was.from 2015.

Fyi-creating another id after being banned....is another ban offense.

Referenced old outdated product line / info. May 2015 is when that post was made on that forum about some old kit they offered. The plus kit that is mopar universal did not even exist until October 2015. Get the facts straight. Below is the dated product release post. Not trying to be an ass why wouldn't you want the correct info out there though? People should have the right to know what's what.

I'm glad xenon depot finally seems to have worked out a solution for their kits, the more options the better.

I have your extreme kit and only the left headlight gets a flicker. It did it on the canbus adapters that came with the kit and also the 'anti flicker' module

CANBUS Anti-Flicker Module (pair) - HID Accessories - HID Lighting - All Products

It is turning on more reliably now but still have a flicker after driving for a while, only noticeable when the lights are shined on a wall. Will this fix it? If so I'm a buyer. I haven't used relays at all, everything is direct wired.
