I am not considering the Active Cruise control, it is an additional adder to the safety package. I thought the safety package sensors are mounted only in the rear lights, which are LEDs with the package. Later I will replace the front headlights.Like everything there are pros/cons. I am considering this also. In Chicago the cold weather package is nice. Extra lighting is always nice. The LEDs are great if you drive in rual areas or off road and don't want to bother with extra forward lighting. Someone who has the LEDs said he was considering removing his light bar because the LEDs are so bright and effective. No doubt there are benefits with the safety package. I live in the City and back out of garages here there is lot of cross traffic. Prevent one accident and it pays for itself. I have never owned a vehicle with Active Cruise Control. People either love it of hate it? Are you, at all, considering replacing or upgrading bumpers in the future? Or are you going to be anyplace off road that might damage the bumpers? The safety package bumpers and sensors are expensive to replace. Parts are expensive and body shops have to calibrate everything after replacement. The windshields are pretty fragile and are know to crack easily. Dealers or FCA will want to recalibrate the front camera every time a windshield cracks and is replaced. There is a video showing a JL being stuck because the safety sensors were confused when the JL was parked too close to other cars. Something to consider if you are thinking of the safety package.
