Hi Folks,
I have a 98 cherokee 4.0 4x4. I swapped my old halogen for LEDS. They've been fine for 3months. My work schedule changed 4days ago, now I get off at 5am. Every time I start the Jeep, all the lights come on except the headlights. Any other time of the day, I can cut them on in a jiffy. The only thing I noticed was that it gets cold 30-40°F at 5am. Back before the schedule change the Jeep would be in the garage and they'd start up quick 24/7. Now, I wait 25min, like clock work. Once the engine warms up, fans kick on and blow hot air around the engine bay, poof, head lights come on. Any ideas?
