Made map lights out of that little plastic housing for the factory keyless entry sensor. Sourced the LED's from auto zone, drilled appropriate sized holes, epoxied them, and just wired them in to a switch. They draw hardly anything so I just tapped in to the 12v and ground going to the plug on the keyless entry sensor. Came out pretty good and around 20 bucks in supplies. A lot brighter in person than the last couple pictures.
Along with my other LED's.

They came in the higher trim models like the country.
Google search cherokee keyless entry cover or trim. I came up with a few results. Are you trying to get keyless entry to work or just want to use the trim cover for lights like I did?
If you want keyless entry get a cheap viper alarm, disable the alarm functions and use that module to actuate your power door locks. The range on the factory system sucks, its similar to the same as old school TV remotes, only work in short line of sight.
