They will? Do you have pictures or can you describe how to wire them?

 

Cut the plug off and test them on the battery, I believe they will only work one way but its been years since I've done it

 

I got an adapter for my 12V outlet next to my defroster/wiper switch. Was around $10 at Radio Shack, and it has another 12V, a 120V plug, and a USB port. Not enough power to run a vacuum from it, but two strings of lights are no problem.

 

Thanks! It will be cool to have lights without the power inverter. And it will be cool to have some Christmas lights in addition to the reindeer costume.

 

I'll have to talk to my friend who works there. Maybe he can get me a good deal on it. I really want to do some lights, just have to figure out where to string them. I think I will look at the christmas light thread.

 

Well if you wanna spend a lil more you can get a 200w black and decker one and hardwire to battery with #6 wire for future upgrade and get lights that are about $15 and $32 for inverter. This is my route or you can get a 100w inverter and go with LED lights which should work fine too. Im gonna do mine this week and take some pics

 

Yes the lights would work if they are incandescent standard lights but will be dim I think and some LED bulbs don't work off of 12v unless they say they can.

 

Doing it my way was a quick fix with stuff I already had. I only had to buy lights. Eventually, I'll be doing what he did.

 

Could I run one of the wires to the headlight fuse and another to well I dunno where. Would that work? That way it only comes on when I do my headlights.

 

Yep

 

Where would I have to run the other wire though? Sorry electronics aren't my strongest suit haha
Ykydaxjw you like to confuse your less technical friend when you start talking about things you want to do to your jeep

 

Depends on where you put the lights,

 

you know you drive an xj when your whole christmas list consist of nothing but parts and upgrades

 

x2. "What do you want besides Jeep stuff?"
"Uhh...money for the Jeep stuff you aren't buying me?"

 

No snow here, in Chicago, either.. and I'm anxious to see what MY new Destination A/Ts will do! Haha. ..kinda anxious for both on and off road.. see how they handle
