I also use an inverter that i have mounted under my passenger seat. I ran a small "indoor" extension cord out the rear passenger door opening up to the upper lights. For my grill ones, i ran a extension cord under my XJ, between my gas tank and gas tank skid and up thru the rear hatch, under the back seat, and then under my floormat to the inverter. Kind of a long route, but i couldnt find an easy way to get from the engine bay into the inside of my jeep.

 

That's what I do as well. Couldn't you just run the lights down your a pillar to the front and up the other side so you don't have to run an extension cord under the jeep?

 

Didnt think about that... Maybe ill try it, Im just picky on certain things. Only "problem" i see is 00-01 stock crossover bar things cant go all the way to the front of the roof. They end at about the back of the front doors and id need a way to keep them secured to the body without accidently slamming them in the door.

 

Ohh yea, i have a 2000 and I know what your talkn about, I have a roof rack though

 

Thats what I was thinking. So you cut the male plug off, and spliced some wires. I wish there was a way for me to rig these lights up into my fog lights some how but make it so I can turn them on and off separately.

 

You aint gona have good results cutting the plug off of 120v AC lights, and connecting them to a 12v DC source

What your gona want to find is some lights that operate at 12-14V if you want to run them to your jeeps battery.

 

damn good call.

 

I used a small power inverter that just plugs into my cigarette lighter that was on sale for $9. I'm using an led xmas light string that's long enough to run a whole loop on my roof. http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en



(notice my coworker's 87 Cherokee Chief behind my XJ lol, he didn't even know it had a Dana44 in it..)

I still have a couple things I wanna do but this is it for the most part.

 

Finally able to contribute, just put them up today.

 

I'm really liking this idea. Might do something over my next couple days off.

 

I set up my lights today

 

Got mine up!

 

Bought mine, but I haven't put em on yet. I've been working 12 hour shifts with a 45 minute commute. Lots of work and sleep; not much else. One day soon...

 

At the parade!

 

Hampton roads jeep club is part of the parade at the oceanfront so i decorated mine up
