Hey guys, i just changed my oem halogen lights on my 200lx with 9012 led Philips HL and it works good because it has canbus built it but when i drive it shows lower bean headlights out on my screen so is there a way to get rid of it or should i just go back to oem lights? Any feedback would be helpful

This is the 2015? The BCM is setting the 'low beams out' warning because the current draw is below what it is expecting for lighting Halogen lamps.
I would expect the BCM has stored these fault codes:
B162A-18-LEFT LOW BEAM CONTROL-UNDER CURRENT-HALOGEN LAMPS
B162E-18-RIGHT LOW BEAM CONTROL-UNDER CURRENT-HALOGEN LAMPS
You may be able to add resistors to mimic halogen current draw and/or reconfigure the BCM to accept LED lamps?

2015 has no headlamp fuse, no headlamp relay & Mopar doesn't offer an LED headlamp kit for any year 200. I see no reliable aftermarket answer for an LED conversion. IMHO you are better off with what you had.
"As of 2/2022, LED headlight bulbs are not legal modifications for cars registered for on-road/street usage."
"In the United States, lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment are regulated by the US Department of Transportation (DOT). Even though these types of LED lights can be used in place of an original halogen light bulb, it is not legal to use on vehicles registered for on-street use. This type of modification can only be done when used in a fog lamp application, dedicated off-road application, or in jurisdiction outside the USA where this is allowed. For more information on how to determine if this type of product is safe to use, and legal to use on public roadways in the USA."

The JS takes 9012/HIR2 lamps.

The HIR (halogen infra-red) have an envelope coating that keeps the lamp burning hotter for more useful light output. All 9012 lamps are HIR2.
