What you said doesn't make sense, unless I'm not understanding something (which may be the case). You said that using Aux 2 is overkill at 40A. Well, the problem is the Aux 3/4 lines are 15A max. Its also 16 (or 18) gage wire. If you add 6.5A + 1.0A (IPT) = 7.5A x 2 lights = 15A. You don't want to run 15 amps through a 15 amp circuit. There is no overhead for power spikes. You will be blowing fuses all day and, even worse, heating those tiny wires.Aux 2 is probably a little overkill since these lights don't draw close to 40A. All of the specifications are listed on the bottom half of the product page, here is the wattage/amps for the lights:
Specifications:
Forward Projecting Lumens: 8,600 Utilizing 6 LEDs
Forward Projecting Wattage/Amps: 90W / 6.5A
IPT Lumens: 1,700 Utilizing 4 LEDs
IPT Wattage/Amps: 15W / 1.0A
IF you really just want to use the Aux 3/4 buttons to power the lights, then I suggest you use a relay and run the main power right to the battery.
I agree! When I called them they said they have no plans for it. The good news is if you are handy with electronics you can easily repurpose their harness and have a bunch of wire (and a switch) left over for another project.It would be so much easier if they just made a harness for the JL.
It's not like the JL is going away.
It could have a quick connect near the Bumper to tie in to the running lights.
Having a quick connect near the bumper for the running lights is a great idea. I haven't even connected my ambers...and I probably won't.
Side note: These lights are flippin' amazing! The first time I lit them up I was blown away. It's like night turned into day. The low beam light was plenty. The highs were crazy!
Heres what they look like on mine. (Ignore the dirt...just got done towing it about 200 miles)
