I know this is a kinda dumb question, but after wiring my 55w driving lights, I can't figure out which slot in my cockpit fuse box to put the hot lead in? I have an 88 XJ, 4.0L Laredo; I have checked my Haynes manual, the instructions to the lights (which say to put it in a 12v powered slot...relay and fuses already installed), here, O'reilly's (lol), even a few buddies, but no one can tell me which slot in the stupid fuse box to use. I DO NOT want to connect direct to the battery. When answering, please refer to the diagram/illustration of the fuse box below. Thanks again everyone!

I think its Panel 10 if im looking at it correctly. Either way, the one that says Park LMPS, bc once the parking lamps are on, you can engage the driving lights regardless if the the headlights are on or not. The driving lights just wont work when brights are ingaged

#7 which points to Fuse 10

Ok guys thanks a lot! Yeah, I'm definitely going that way, especially because it's illegal here in UT to have the aux lights on with brights (tho I leave mine on all the time and they're STILL not as bright as most peeps regualrs! I gotta do the HID upgrade).

I had an old 88 larado also and wired my lights using an inline fuse, lighted switch and using a spade terminal on the end of the wire, plugged the spade terminal in the ACC or maybe the IGN location. If you look close there are a few locations with only 1 terminal in the square block with no fuse attached. These terminals are sometimes a direct hot connection or become hot when the ignition is turned on. It's better to hook your wire to an ingition terminal, that why when the engine is turned off the lights do not stay on and drain the battery.
