I used them for the harness and euro lights. Warning though. It is pricey. Took me a couple of months to see if I wanted to get them. Ultimately I did and don’t regret the purchase. They also have other things for our platform. Hopefully the site helps. Consider the euro lights. Something about headlamps with clear side markers just looks right
 
No issues what so ever. Even switched from halogen fog lights to oem led fog lamps to complete the look. I know the harness is pricey. But it’s built solid. You’re investing in longevity. These folks build their harness well. Quality cost $$$. Pics I do have
 
I don't do a lot of night time driving and just installed them a couple weeks ago, but I think they work great and the color is great. I only paid $130 for them from Amazon, which was another reason I tried them. The OEM upgraded LED fogs were over $200 and they are LED in a reflector housing, while these are in a projector type housing which aims the light much better.

If you ever get a chance take a picture of the dog lights at night. I’d like to see how they differ from oem. Like you said that projector in your setup should light things up better. If you can do that that’s be great. Might even switch to those if their that good
 
I have tried led lights to replace the factory halogen fog light bulbs in my 2015 Grand Cherokee Limited. They work alright however I keep on running into the problem where there is moisture on the inside lens. I am out of the return period for the led however the company was nice enough to send me a replacement set to see if that solves the problem however it didn't. I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue. I'm considering changing out the fog lights with the morimoto ones that you suggested. When installing it did you need to remove the bumper or where you able to remove some of the liner from below to change out the housings. I also ordered a hid conversion kit designed by gtr lighting for the low beams. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with that. My previous car had HID from the factory and when I got my GC this summer I felt like I couldn't see anything. I have tried led bulbs for the low beam however they were terrible in the projector housing.

When you say you tried led lights....do mean as in you used an led bulb in the factory halogen projector housing?
 
When I say tried I mean that I currently have h11 led bulbs in the halogen factory projector housing for both fog light and low beams. The fog lights have alright light pattern however moisture keeps getting into the housing even after I’ve taken out the bulbs and let the housing dry out and carefully reinstalled the led bulb. The how beam just have crappy light pattern. I didn’t know until after that projection housings aren’t really ment to have aftermarket led used in them according to the led company I bought from. In picture 1 there is led in the fog and low beam u can see the light pattern produced. In picture 2 I swapped the low beam bulbs from left to right and right to left and it had made somewhat of a difference however it has left much to be desired compared to the hid bulbs that I was used to in my previous car.

The halogen housing sucks. I experienced a lot of condensation when I had the hid kit in the fog lights. It’s what motivated me to swap out the hid kit for the oem led fog lights. But now that I’ve seen pictures of the morimoto led fog lights, I’m considering installing those now. Don’t get me wrong, I’m more than happy with the oem led fog lights. Light out put is great. Better than before. Morimoto light pattern exceeds the oem led. Can’t go wrong with better lighting. My suggestion if your interested in it would be to swap it out for the oem led fog lights or the morimoto. You’ll need h11 anti flicker module to make them work
 
I have not tried to rotate the bulb I can give that a shot. The only thing is the is only one spot for the screw to screw in so with out being able to lock it into place I’m not sure if the bulb will just spin when I try to re install it.
Also I have double checked the seals on all bulbs. It seems to have a tight seal. I think moisture in the fog lights is just a common problem with aftermarket bulbs Bc I was at the gym and saw a Gc similar year and it too had moisture in the fog lights.
The leds are currently in the 9 and 3 position. Right now I think I’m going to install the morimoto xb fog lights and see how those work out. I just want to do some research before I buy to see if I would need to remove the bumper or if I can do it from underneath the car. I have the gt hid lighting kit on order for the low beams and I can update with pictures with how that turn out if anyone cares. The install seems fairly simple.
I’m new to the group and I appreciate all the feedback that has been given.
Update later on with progress. It’s a forum after all. There can never be too much knowledge and pictures.
