I want to upgrade all the blinkers, parking lights and brake lights into LED. Ok here is the problem I am having there is very little information regarding the 2000-2001 XJ a ton on pre 1996. I have the EP27 relay, will I need the canbus bulbs from superbrightleds? Then the two problems I seem to find on the internet are when someone turns on there headlights the blinkers don't work, turn signals light up in dash. Then with a brake lights they dont come on and they blink with the blinkers. If I have to cut or soldering anything ill leave them as halogen.
Really looking for plug and play specifically for 00-01 XJs
Also I have Led Headlights if that changes anything.
These were the LEDs I was looking at.

last I knew you would need a different relay for the turn signals then the stock one. The website you posted also has the right replacement for you.

Here's the parts list for my internal swap (about $35 shipped):
(5) NeoX T4s for the HVAC
(5) 3-LED SMTs for the guages
(2) 194 120° beam for Tcase/Tranny
All of them are plug and play. I may have to widen the Tranny/TCase socket to fit these 194s.
As far as exterior goes. the 3157's for parking, stop, and side marker are all direct plug and play. The CANBUS bulbs have a built in load resistor which works the same as your EP27 relay. They should work fine but you don't need to get a CANBUS bulb if you're going to be running the relay. The CANBUS simply prevents the vehicle from constantly telling you there is a bulb out due to the low draw of LEDs

Yea I got the whole interior setup with leds, including dash Hvac and three switches. I got my LED blinkers working. The only leds I can't get to work are the front parking lights and the brake lights. Just as my first post says when I run my blinkers my brake lights blink with them. Then front parking lights won't blink or light up when I turn the headlights on. Then the dash showed the turn signals lit in the Jeep.

It's been a while I no longer own the Jeep, funny this thread pops up I just bought a bronco and switched over LEDs in the dash. As far as the front side marker I would switch it out two screws super easy. Then the headlights when I went LEDs the only led headlight were trucks-lights. Now I think they are owned by rigid, they didn't have the 50 different eBay and Amazon ones. I was never able to figure out how to get the front parking lights, and brake lights to Led. Maybe the newer canbus switchback bulbs might work, didn't exist back then or we're just coming out.
In all I never had any problems with the LEDs from super bright. Worked for 3ish year straight.
Last I really recommend you pick up a led projector reverse bulb, they are worth every penny.
