You can see it, it's the black thing hanging there, although I wouldn't mount it in the same place as mine without at least a shield or something. One of mine doesn't work now because it got mud in it. I recommend relocating to somewhere out of the way of the tires, probably under the hood, somewhere more protective
Yup I see it. I put passenger side up close to the fire wall theres a easy bolt there to use just had to run a longer wire and I just used an open hole on the driver side on top of the wheel well.

I've caulked all the small holes up and used a pool noodle to close bigger holes just have to wait a bit to start with the bed lining.

Tie them into the DRl. Or rather off the headlight switch so when you send power to DRl the halos turn on

Will the 95' 96' xj brake booster and master cylinder fit in my 90'. I took a look under the hood and the booster already looks like it has a pretty snug fit, so i don't know how a bigger one would fit.

I don't wanna sound like I'm making this up, it is a mod cause you have a single diaphragm booster and later years have a dual diaphragm

Yeah that sounds right. But I'm just wondering if the 96' booster will fit in there, or what I'll have to do to make it fit, because the stock one is in such a tight fit already

Check the first page. I already have an 01 so I don't know how tight it is. I've seen around its a direct swap. I've tried searching but can't find exact pages it on
