Ahh they came with a wiring kit right?

Do this: Works very well:

Get your positive power from the fusebox. Ground it on the crossmember going over the radiator. Drilling new holes isn't necessary. Use what is already there.

I am NOT sure how you're gonna get the switch wires through the firewall. Why? The hole that most have used is the hole for the clutch linkage. You have a clutch so that hole will be in use already.

Positive wire, looks like the green one, is gonna get power from this location. Remove the nut, strip the wire of its insulation, crimp on a ring or spade terminal, put the terminal on the screw, reinstall nut.

The jumble of wires and that black box, that's your relay. That much I do know, lol. One wire coming from the relay goes to the switch. That wire is the wire that has to go through the firewall.

There's a few nuts on the crossmember under the hood which has the emissions sticker on it. Remove one of the nuts, that's where you'll ground it.

But my question is... why is that wiring kit so fricking INVOLVED?! Highbeams / Lowbeams, what is all of that for? Legalities?

jeepjeepster has installed these. He's gonna be a heck of a lot more help than me right now.

 

[ms5490renegade]

ok i can do that. what is a cross member. i think the blue wirre is the one tha goes to the switch. also what is a firewall.

 

[ms5490renegade]

i want them on with the regular lights. call them fog lights or driving lights i dont really care.

 

[ms5490renegade]

im going to try to get them on today

 

[ms5490renegade]

ok im starting to figure out this wiring. red goes to the battery and black goes to the lights.
