The fog lights weren't working when I got it.
I've read so many things about the switch getting hot and not working, so I took it apart, cleaned and still not working. Checked the fuses under the dash and checked the bulbs. But the switch light was also not working so the bulbs probably were not the problem.
After poking around I realized the fuse box under the hood might hold the fuse to them and I found one, replaced it and they work!
Just another update...

It is not a super-tight motor. The design partly dates back to 1964, lol. Some of the engine tooling was actually carried over from the AMC 232 and used up until 1996 when it was replaced.

I figured I'd update again...
Since I had these on my last ride and they worked so damm good but sold them mounted on there, the instant I got home I ordered them again.
Oh and this was the radio that came in the XJ when I bought it. It had bright blue lights that was horrible for night driving and I had no idea how to work it.
Luckily who ever installed it didn't hack up the stock wiring or cut the clips so installing the 98 grand Cherokee radio was less then 10 mins of work.

yes I know what those lights are... I had them before and loved 'em!
I plan on mounting them on the bumper but not sure which bumper I end up with... stock or something cool.
I'd gladly sell that Sony, even have the remote for it. PM me your offer.
