    Hello,
    I set myself the ambitious task of modifying the rear direction indicator lamps from the CANADA version to EU.
    While browsing the internet, I noticed that the rear lamps because this is not the case are converted by changing the back light of the bulb from white to orange. The matter is complicated by the fact that the voltage in the reverse lamp is 12v and in the red indicator that sits in the LED is 2v.
    I cut the cables connected to the ankle and connected to the mass of the reverse bulb, looking if the insight would light up and lit only once, the direction was not flashing ...
    The same cable then fed both the reverse light and the red indicator, but did not interrupt ...
    My question is: Is the change of the usual rear lamp to LED and mounting a 2v to 12v chopper in this place something? Do you need to look somewhere cable or lead quite separate looking somewhere in the car.
    Has anyone met with a similar transformation?
    Does anyone have a wiring diagram for this car?
    I am asking for some help because even electromechanics in the region spread their hands and do not know how to go about it ...
    Maybe I should look for the cable in front of the lamp cube and bring a new one to the bulb already then?
    The person involved in the modification of the above model mentioned to me the obligation to replace the indicator with an LED bulb, then you can get the voltage there ...
    Someone something?
    I will be grateful for any comments ...

    Hello,
    Yes, I solved it

    Added after 1 [minutes]:

    Sorry for two posts but on the phone. I went through the shades, including the plug and the bulb, then I found the electrician who made the reversing turn signal. Something turned off in the computer swapped the cables and was working

    I'm trying to make this a direction light - how do you get on with it - please give me more specific details. Are leds only 2V? or maybe 12v 12W? How can you solve this problem without interfering with your car's computer?


    I have to convert my brother's lights from the USA to EU - Already reworked - asymmetrical. It's time for the REAR indicator lights - now they are red - when the parking lights are on and the directions are on - they act as turn signals - i.e. the parking lights are flashing.

    I would like to turn on the turn signals instead of reversing lights - currently there are 4 bulbs - 2 bulbs on each side - one in the back of the car, one in the lamp in the trunk lid.

    Reversing lights are w16w
    The rear blinker lights are leds - markings in the manual - WY16W - but how does it compare to 2V ?.
    Currently, if you disconnect the flashers in the low beam lamp and connect it to the lamp (one reversing) and insert the bulb - led w16w - flashes once and everything turns off - brother patent - in my opinion wrong.

    One should probably use a bulb with a t15 base (as in the reversing light) but with parameters wy21w.

    Do I think right ? Of course, how to do it so that CAN somehow recognized and allowed use :)

    Thanks for the hints.

    Changing the problem

    The turn signals are quite stern - already - drawn from the front in the reversing lamps.
    New problem - STOP - when pressed - they turn on but the right and left go out, Only 3 stop lights remain (initially only the third one was lit) - the "current" was pulled from the third to the right and left - but they only light up - press again - they light up and go out. The third behaves normally.

    Maybe you have some idea to overcome this ailment.

    Generally, this is only needed for review. If the car is registered, it will be correctly reprogrammed with a computer - now nobody wants to take care of it because there is no time.

    You tell fairy tales to a guy
    Especially since there are two reversing lights, it's interesting what the program does in orange instead of white. You can also change the varnish with a computer

    You have to change the color of the bulb anyway.
    The lampshade from the USA is adapted to the ordinary light bulb you want Led you need to buy a plug and cut out the marked places in the film for the plug to fit. You only put the led orange and the shade converted, so do not write with 10 minutes work and everything with a computer because it's a fairy tale.

    Marcel11111 can give you a hint about how you handle coding.
    I'm also interested in maps and pl menu for uconnecta 11, probably. If anyone knows something, I'd love to use it

    Hello all,

    Referring to the topic, in the next few days I am going to start recoding the rear lamps from the USA to the EU. I will be using Appcar DiagFCA. I have only one question? What types and how many bulbs do I need to replace for this operation.

    The second thing is the reworking of the right headlight, more specifically its lens, so that it meets Polish regulations. Do you have someone who has already covered this topic in this car?

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around modifying the rear direction indicator lamps of a Jeep Cherokee KL from the Canadian version to the EU version. The main challenge involves the voltage differences between the existing bulbs and the desired LED indicators. Users share various solutions, including coding the Body Control Module (BCM) to separate the stop and direction signals, and replacing bulbs with appropriate wattage (e.g., 21W or 16W). Some participants mention the need for specific coding software like AppCar DiagFCA or AlfaOBD, while others discuss the physical modifications required for the lamps. There is also a focus on finding local professionals for assistance with the conversion process.
