Hello all JL fans...
I have a brand new set of Rigid D-Series cube lights I plan to mount on the outer edges of the cowl. I think the functionality works best with them located there and they look good too. My question has to do with wiring this up. I have the MOPAR factory grade aux switch kit that I also plan to install and have two concerns. One, my particular aux lights come with a harness with six wires that get connected to the rocker switch supplied in the kit. The photo below is for a simple on/off switch showing three wires. My kit has six lead wires to the switch due to the dual beam setup. The rocker switch with the kit has low/high/off positions.
Second concern is the MOPAR aux switch pod has one power/hot lead per switch. Any ground wires for the accessories would be connected to a vehicle ground. Basic single-pole electrical connection no doubt.
So, how do I connect this correctly? My guess is there is power "in" to the switch, power "out" from the switch to the lights, and a ground wire. Again, I have this x2 because I have a low/high beam function. If power is coming into the aux switch pod and it is fused my guess is the harness from the light kit either gets modified or tossed in the trash altogether? I am thinking don't toss it out, but do not use the power "in" wire in the light harness and tape it off. I would then wire the switch leg to the light in the harness to the power "out" from the aux switch. Ground goes to ground? Would I need to use two of the four switches in the pod for the low/high function on these lights?
Any clarification would be great!!
Thanks all....
