Mysterious Headlights
I recently installed new LED(with DRL) headlight and I noticed a problem. With the headlight switch pushed all the way in/shut off and the key on the low beams would be on. They would only be about 25% brightness but they were on. I grabbed a multi meter and came to find out I had a constant 7-10 volts (depending on battery charge) on my headlight low beam wire. I traced it back to the headlight switch which I then replaced along with the connector and it persisted. I put the old sealed beam headlights back in and they did the same thing.
Any ideas

Does your XJ come equipped with the Sentry Module? (Keeps the lights on for a few seconds after shut off) If so, unplug the module to keep power from going to them. I had this issue on my 93 Country.
