We have installed diode kits on Jeep Cherokee Trailhawks (and other models that have LED lights) and they have worked fine. For a diode kit I recommend # RM-15247. I have also included links to a couple of videos showing example installations. You can see the vehicles have the LED tail light assemblies like on your 2016 Cherokee.

If your Cherokee has 4 wheel drive or the Active Drive II system, to maintain the vehicle's stable steering while being flat towed you will want to install the Mopar accessory kit 68321424AB, available from your Jeep dealer. This kit will prevent the Cherokee's steering from shaking while being flat towed.
