Won't start after H4 install
I just finished installing my H4 headlight harness. Jeep cranks strong but won't start. Headlights seem nice though. What did I fudge up?

dont feel bad I did this exact upgrade like 4 days ago drove my jeep around the block to check out the lights and as i pulled to my drive way it stalled and died on me... thought I might have knocked something loose during the install, turns out I was just out of gas. In my defense my gas gauge doesn't work properly.

Maybe I should add "go fill your Jeep with gas" and "Be sure to tighten your battery cables" to my instructions.
