I have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee with Bi-function halogen headlamps. They are terrible . The dealer has tried to adjust them several times to no avail. There is very little difference between bright and dim. The fog lights help very little. They are especially bad driving in fog or snow. If I drove much a night , I would not have this vehicle. I tell people that they are better than having no headlights, but not much !

I’m not sure 2016 is the same as 2017, but here are IIHS headlight testing results:

>
> 2017 Jeep Cherokee 4-door SUV - midsize SUV

these are not terrible, for all trims but “Sport”, which is quite abysmal
