I just bought some new off brand KC lights from a fellow member here and I was wondering how exactly i would go about wiring them? I know i have to hook it up to the battery and run it thru the firewall and throw a switch next to the wiper button but how exactly do i go about running the wire thru the dash?

 

I would run the power to a relay and then run the wire from the relay to the switch.

There are plenty of holes to use in the firewall. Use one that has a gromet so the wires don't get rubbed, cut through, and shorted.

 

How would I run the relay in combination with the lights I haven't done much wiring in cars before

 

If you google "offroad light wiring diagram" I'm sure there is a nice diagram to follow

 

There have also been diagrams posted here, but I do not have time to search for you.

Its really simple, tho.

Sorry if this thread seems pointless I had a better time searching thru google then Cherokee forums search function I found a good write up done by a guy on a wrangler

 

 

Thats a great diagram. As soon as I figure out how I'd like to save that to my phone.

 

So simple even I understand it thanks!

 

Afaik forumrunner won't let you save pictures. You'd have to pull this thread up in your phones browser and save it from there or save it on your computer and transfer it or use a site like pixdrop to send it to your phone.

 

I just use my mobile browser. I have the option to 'save picture' which I do often.

 

Great diagram i agree. But what would be considered the indicator? A light? Would all be the same if i just "delete" that area of the diagram? Im tryin to do the same but with a pair of hella 500 fogs

 

yes no indicator is required, but many switches are lighted you dont have to hook up the light for the switch to work but if you want to know when the lights are on than hook up the light

 

Searched this thread but couldn't find my answer. Hoping someone has a quick one.

If you want to hook the switch to your headlights on your XJ, which wire should you tap into? And if you did NOT want to run it to your headlights, what would you run the "out" switch wire to?
