After a few conversations it has come to my attention a need for a wiring upgrade to the headlight systems to Halogen or quad lamps. I have ordered some parts & will be building these.
The reason I am venturing into this is because in the last few months I have seen these links for headlight wiring upgrades & the are not all inclusive & do not relieve the entire system of load. They're simply are a bandaid on a bullet wound. Any mod that does not remove the dimmer switch from the load is not a cure. I saw one mod the other day that the author called simple that was anything but. It was clear it would have taken hours & you would have to have some pretty good knowledge of circuits & relay function.
Also the system is not reversible if something were to go wrong. Mine Is.
New system:
The system design does not require any modification cutting or removing of the existing system. The cost would be 55 bucks shipped to your door any where's in the United states. There are some available mods that may add a little price. They are optional.
The system is based off of the new HID type bypass & simply allows the old electrical system to become controllers of the system but not carry any of the headlight amperage load. The old system will simply control the new relays & the relays will manage all current.
Installation:
This system is installed by removing your headlights & installing a harness across the front inside the header panel & then connecting the harness. The positive & negative are simple connect to your battery & any ground connection. This mod also utilizes porcelain socket for the bulbs instead of bakelight. The harness will pick up power & run it straight to the headlamps.
It will be cheaper & simpler than the links which have you tracing & cutting up all kinds of old wiring.
Install would be:
Remove the headlights & unplug old wiring.
Install new harness by threading the left side controller & socket from the right headlight location to the left headlight socket.
Take the fused wires & run them through the header panel to the starter relay. Connect the fused wire to the solenoid battery side.
Connect the ground to any ground source. The process will be to use a self tapping screw & mount the provided lug to the header panel. Also there are already existing places there for other grounds for parking & side markers & headlights. You can mount the grounds to these places or create a new spot with a self tapping screw.
Go to the right side & connect the black wire from the socket to any ground as described above. Then plug the new supplied socket to the headlamp & re-assemble.
You can tape up the old socket but it will not be used on the right side.
The Left is a little different because you will have to mount the relay (easy)
Also on the left there is a male plug that simply plugs into the original headlight plug & tape together. (pictured later) Then connect the black ground wire to ground same as right side. Then connect the new (yellow) socket to the bulb.
Run the wire with the fuse on it to the solenoid & connect it to the battery side of the solenoid. Mount the fuse holder optional But recommended.
Mount the headlight back & your done.
The wiring will be marked right & left sockets.
I have ordered the parts to build another 30 of these. The first one built that was not for me was for a buddies cj & it worked perfectly. He was having problems with his dimmer & wiring burning up. This has fixed that issue. He had 4 Kc daylighter connected to his.
I'm simply gauging interest for this since all of the mods I've seen are complicated & really intrusive.
you should be able to do this in an hour. I would allow 2.
Why the harness.
1.Bypass old wiring with the heavy loads.
2. Provide a better wiring system to upgrade your lamps to halogen.
3. Improve the voltage to your light to make them brighter.
4. I saw one Forum member that says his caught on fire & burned his rig &
wiring pretty bad.
5. Low impact this can be unwired & put back to stock should someone
should want to. Really there is not impact to your existing system
6. No wiring mess under the hood or under dash. The only part you see will be the red/fuse & black wire by the battery.
Options:
This system could be easily modified to run a quad light system it you were to put headlight in the pie plate orifices. I would have to know that & modify the system.
2 spare relays 10.00 bucks
Again this is just a feeler to see if there is demand. I would have to get product to built if there is a positive need. This is not for profit but just to provide a solution. It would easily sell for a lot more. I may put some on ebay.
This system will work on all jeep applications. Actually it could work on any applications.
Please let me know your thoughts if there's no demand there is no demand. The guy I built the one for the CJ said I should check to see if there was a market or individual need.

Do you know anything about alternator wiring? I'd be up for a "paint by numbers" tech write up to make it happen on my trucks. For sure the headlight upgrade would not be an issue then. TIA! 
before I got it fully insured. So electrical is a big concern of mine.
