How to wire up the 2005 Adaptive Headlights in a Cherokee

I bought a pair of RRS Adaptive Headlights to
install in a Jeep Cherokee.
Can anyone provide information on its
wiring and sensors to make them lights?
Parts No required for all parts to make them work

Thanks
Regards

You might be better asking this on the Disco3 site as they are of a more practical nature!

You might have a fair task in front of you. Shocked

My understanding is that the adaptive headlight electronic control module is connected to the Central Junction Box (main computer) by a proprietary Land Rover bus cable ................
I further understand that the signal sent out is derived from inputs of engine speed, road speed, steering angle, eas position etc, etc,etc.
I assume that this means that without CJB signals the Headlight module will not work.
Someone else may correct me on this. Big Cry

Thanks for the information.
May be Hella electronic modules for Dynaview can be use to control the lights

regards

The problem you will have is the body control ECU, light control module, steering column angle module etc are way way different on a Jeep to an RR set up.
Not only are they different manufacturers but the board rate is different that takes the command between the ECU,s and its a whole different design.
To get these working correctly in a Jeep as they do in an RR would be a bigger task than one would first imagine.
Good luck with it. You don't stop playing because you get old, You get old because you stop playing.

On reflection and in the light of more thought..... Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

You may be able to use the Hella module to give control in the horizontal only axis.
You would need to match the module output to the RRS control motors and work out some way of fixing the vertical axis movement inside the lamp unit.
This may have application for RRS owners who want to 'partially upgrade' their non adaptive lights.
Keep us informed Smile

BTW 'driller' on this forum did some work on this but he may have ended up only changing the bulbs.

Hi gentlemen,
Thanks for all the comments. Can anyone provide me information on wiring diagrams of the AFS. Which colored wire is for what purpose and their voltage. These may help in sourcing other ecu like from Denso.

Regards,

dpwong

Thanks for the diagrams.
Is there a parts cat. on the headlight assembly alone.
I found out that there are broken white plastic pieces. I need to buy them.
What is the part no of the central junction box & AFS ECU?
Are the AFS Modules under the lamp ECU?

Regards

My parts diagrams show the headlights as one unit and then the part numbers are dependent on the VIN
No VIN then no part number.
Not much help

A visit to the local dealer is in order.

The ballasts and control units are mounted on and underneath the headlight units .
Not sure about the Control modules.

Someone else may know !

Don't be surprised if the CJB costs many thousands of pounds !!
