hello Zorm

Yes I have some of these on Cherokees & Comanche's operating today. The wire is slightly too long but that is nothing. The Fog /Driving light is universal & will work on all instarlls. the connection to the battery is a little different but require nothing different to connect.

I'll PM my contact info to you.

Got my package late last week and it looks fantastic hanging in my garage. I will be installing it this weekend and am looking forward to it.

One question about the long red wire (unfused). This is the power line to the fog lights?

Thanks,

Mike

[serehill]

Nope the power wire has the circuit breaker on it they are all fused.

The wire you're talking about is the fog light driver light connection.

What bulbs do I buy ???? I need a number of type I need.. I take it is a 9003 series but what about the following numbers ? Is it a EB , HB, H4 or what?
I'm starting to feel pretty ignorant here but I 'm at a loss. The lights you sent have no markings at all.
Is there any directions or do I have to read through 10 pages of post to find it. I would guess the directions on page 1 still hold true. I don't want to get part way into this and have to quit on it for parts.

Left side is passenger side and right side is drivers side?

Mainly I just need to know what bulbs to buy..

[serehill]

well

Yes the directions are in the post which can be printed they are not hard to follow.
The bulbs I threw in for free are H-4 I didn't charge for them they are some I acquired with a housing. I did recommend the silver stars & they would be H-4's also. I'll be glad to assist & I'll resend my phone number to help support any questions you may have.

The relays mount on the right side (passenger side) I think I might have confused that in one of the articles.
The wire then runs through the grill in front of the radiator support to the right side. These can be seen in post #51.
I also just now sent the post #51 to you via Email.

The silver star number is Sylvania H4 ST. These are the bulbs for the housings you bought.
The 7x6 square silver star would be Sylvania H6054. These would be for the late model with square headlights. Ones where you did not buy housing but wanted regular bulbs, which I don't believe you have since you told me you bought the housings.
Early model 7" round headlights would be 34409 Sylvania. Just for full reference.

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 witha 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 hoder optional But receommended.
Mount the headlight back & your done.
The wiring will be marked right & left sockets.

In the post there are pictures & other information. I tried to make it as simple as I could I can send you all the same information if that is what you would like for me to do. Please let me know what else I can do to help you.

Post # 51 &# 28 Have all the install info. 51 is all you really need. My apologies if this is complicated it was not intended to be. We have sold over 300 this way.
ease of installation is my primary goal please let me know what else I can do to assist.

Thanks Tom.

serehill which H4 head light housings are you using? What do you think about these http://www.ebay.com/itm/351057800763

[serehill]

Basically the first set are the ones you have these are just ones I saved.

HIDor Halogens on the cheap but work OK.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-X-6-SQUARE-CLEAR-DIAMOND-CUT-UPGRADE-REPLACEMENT-HEAD-LIGHTS-LAMPS-H6054-/370804159095?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5655a67277&vxp=mtr

DOT compliant for HID & Halogens:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/DOT-H6052-6054-7x6-INCHES-EURO-Crystal-CLEAR-Sealed-Beam-Conversion-headlights-/321052591193?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ac039c459&vxp=mtr

The ones I have in the J10. Not quite as bright as the first one but works good. These are more forward projecting. Narrower cut off. This set & the first set project further than the DOT set. With HID I prefer these.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-x6-H6054-Sealed-Beam-Black-Housing-Chrome-Reflector-Clear-Lens-Head-Lamps-H4-/291259500219?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43d06b46bb&vxp=mtr

if you decide to go HID I'll be glad to convert them. The new ones come with the junk Chinese single relay & I'll convert them to work with your harness for free if you cover postage. Finding them without the relay is possible but getting harder everyday. The single relays are junk if anything happens they will completely quit where double relays still will work. High beams work if something goes wrong with the low.

Thanks serehill went with the DOT set!!!

So these are what I need?

[serehill]

YUP

yes sir

[HOOT]

great..

I want to drive this truck again but it needs the headlight stuff done to it as I drive 80% at night.
Maybe if the rain will hold off I can get back to it.

[serehill]

Good Luck Tom

Call me if you need to.

'79 Wagoneer I want to add fog lights in a custom bumper

I'm interested in a setup!

[bigwoody]

I would like a harness. I sent you a pm.

[HOOT]

Well I finally put mine in today in the rain. 5" of snow by morning means this truck better be ready. At least I now have lights. Big bright beautiful lights. This kit worked great.. I paired it with a set of the square glass housings mentioned a few post back and Sylvania bulbs.

THE FOLLOWING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS RELAY SYSTEM

I do have to figure out what is up with the circuit as my lights stay on bright unless turned off be the switch. This was going on before the install. I have a new dash switch here but the weather is not cooperating. Should I expect it to go away with a new dash switch? This is a "new to me"1985 J10 truck so I don't know much history of it at all..

Anyone else have this issue here. Pull switch lights come on normal.When I turn on the brights they come on , low beams go out, and will remain on even if I click them off. When I do click them off I can tell the low beams are firing again as well as the brights. To make bright lights go away I have to turn off lights and then turn back on.

Any thoughts....need to try and give my diesel a rest the next two days as temps plummet to the teens.
