So I suck at electronics an need some help. The new lights have 3 wires and the old have 6. Is there any treads out there that show this

The three wired lights are labeled. One says ground. One says minor. The other says Major. These words are written on the light bulb socket where the wires go in.

So the blinker goes to one, tail an stop go to the other, then use the last as ground

No..... If you and I are talking about the same light 97+XJ, each bulb socket, has three slots. Major, Minor, and ground. Thats two wires for the reverse, two wires for the blinker, then THREE Wires for thebrake lights.

you need a trailer relay or you have to add a blinker separate.I might have a xtra relay I can check for you if your interested.Are lights are a 3 way lite and you need to turn it into a 2 way lite system.

I have them all in an mounted, just not working.

I've tryed everything and they just don't work. I called Kent 4wd and the said you need to wire in a trailer harness kit. I've done that and nothing.

If anyone has done this I need some help Haha ill give you some cash an beer. I've got all the tools needed.

I live in covington out by Kent an maple valley

tail and running light go together, then the brake and turn go together, then run all your ground to one wire, make sure you run a heavy duty grote turn signal flasher. i think you run that on the ground side and brake and turn wires.

Need so help with this. Wired my 90 XJ with the 4" round led light using rusty's housings. The lights work. Just when use blinker left or right, the Reds blink (both) with turn signal. With head lights on this problem isn't noticed.

PICTURES would do Wonders for this thread -and- the responses you get back!

P.S. - If you are talking about the normal old style 1156 bulb/ socket (most cars from 1960s thru 1990s), then what the guy above was saying is: there is 1 + (positive) connection for dim, 1 + for bright and 1 - (negative), wire accordingly.
