Remember they will only work when you are on low beams and only with the headlight fully on not just with the parking lights.

Ah didn't know that ...my factories were broke when I bought it so I haven't used em at all..

BlueXJ

Yeah no power except on low beams. So as long as you are aware of that you are good to go.

my jeep didnt come with factory lights so i made my own wiring and now i get to undo it all.
i went to walmeart today they have a good selection of lights for cheap they run around $20-$40
most are 50 w or 55w each
is that good or ?? i dont really know alot about fog lights but i think im going to mount them on my roof bar with zip ties untill i get a roof light bar or roof rack. i already own 4 squar lights but what would look better on top 4 squar or round

BlueXJ

For an example of what the round ones look like look at xjjeepthing's avatar or his album. Can't think of the squre lights example right now but will try to find one for you. HTH usarmy0101

Square would look better on top IMO because the xj is basically a square, well more of a rectangle but has 90 degree angles.

Scroll down to HeavyMetal's rig. You'll see square lights on his roof bar.

I had square wally lights on mine at one time. A very long time ago. I like the round lights, I think you get better light projection with them.





If I can find it I have an article on how to modify the factory foglight relay so they stay on with the bright headlights.

xjjeepthing

I cant find the article modifing the relay But heres what to do.
Open the hood and find the central junction (fuse box) under the hood.



Take off the lid, it will be marked on the inside what relay goes where. Find fog light 1 and remove the relay.




Once you pull the realy find terminal 1 and remove the terminal, I used a small pair of needle nose pliers and kept bending it back and forth till it snapped.


Reinstall the realy. Fog lights should now work on dim or brights. The relay picture sucks sorry.
Hope this helps.

Why not just run everything to work off of toggle switches? That way you can turn them off and on as you please?

xjjeepthing

You could do that , but the factory has already put a switch and relay in there, might as well use it.

finneys98xj

If you have factory fogs, I guess you could but I dont.

usarmy0101

thats what i plan to do but idk when becouse i have to find a place to put them or just not use them at all

usarmy0101

think this would look good i bought 2 lights and when i take off the stock ones i will put them in the mid

usarmy0101

should i do it ?

okcjeeper

go for it..I may use one of my roof rack bars and toss 2 small high watt lights on it like that for when I go hunting. I also plan on a reverse light I can switch on at night when I am backing out and need to see what's behind me..
