No I've search for diagrams and the only one I can seen to find is for the headlights but the colors are all different. I looked at the turn signal switch the brown w white and the light blue also run through that but no white w green or extra red w orange. so I'm guessing those turn off the NON existent fog lights when the headlights are on?? And the extra red w orange is a power for foods and white with pink is a signal on off wire? As far as I'm concerned the headlights are wired right and the extra wires are for the figs my jeep doesn't have I do remember reading somewhere that all jeeps are pre wired for all options whether it had then or not is this true?
The fog lights actually don't have any interaction with a switch other than to power them on initially. The auto-off when highbeams are selected is done by a relay in the power distribution center. For the most part, yes, XJ wiring is a standard harness, but for whatever reason this doesn't apply to fog lights. If your XJ didn't have them from the factory the wiring isn't there.
I figured that was bird ****. Or the passengers. Or all of the above.

Alright guys, all done! I got the passenger side done in about 3 minutes, so when i went back to driver side i noticed the piston wasn't compressing evenly. I put a small flat bar in to keep it straight and it went in smooth as silk. I think it was definitely time for new parts... Here's some pictures for a comparison:

If you don't mind doing the extra work to bleed them you can always Crack the bleeder valve then compress the caliper! But you will have to bleed them well! If opening the cap on the master doesn't work that is, also if you still cannot compress them after all that your caliper is probably bad (locked up)

and, bleeding old brake fluid out is never a bad idea.

True story. Replace with DOT-3, 4, or 5.1 but not DOT-5
