Wiring Driving Lights

[Dyolfknip74]

That is why I want them wired to trigger off the high beam.




With the factory LED's the fogs stay on with the high beams and I think that is selectable.

Nope, you have to turn that functionality on with a Taser or JScan.

It has been doing that since we got it without either. I see where I can change it the Tazer I put in three weeks ago, but haven't gone into that setting.

Your fogs stay on with high beams in stock form? You have a very unique jeep then.

We have factory LED's. I thought it did it from when we got it. Maybe I turned it on accidentally with the Jscan before I removed it.

I'd say that's what happened. Stock, they do not do that.

As it turns out, they do go off with the high beams. My mistake. Back on topic. So can I pull the pass side headlamp and install a posi-tap on the WH/GY right high beam to trigger the relay for the driving lights?

I had to google what a posi tap was... ya that will do it.
How come you're not already done with this project??? ; )

Because I only picked it up two weeks ago. I still have to get the bumper installed and it’s a little cold here in WNY

That bad boy looks nice! Congrats!

Thanks. She has a Diesel too.

Got the Hella's installed yesterday. Stupidly easy to rig up the trigger. I went to the drivers side headlight to install the Posi tap. Not like setting up a JK and anti flicker harness to keep the relays from buzzing due to modulated voltage.

If you don't happen to have any extra wire on hand you're in for a shock when you go pick some up. 12 gauge copper was $50 for a 100 ft roll... : (
Good luck!

The local auto parts stores really slap the wood to you on electrical and wiring components. I buy all that stuff from Amazon. The savings on wire may only be 50% to 70%, but on fuses, connectors, and shrink-tube bought in bulk it’s been closer to 90% savings.

On wire purchases it can save money to buy 100’ rolls of two-strand, as you’re really getting 200’ of wire, and the strands peel apart easily.

Good tip! I was getting it from Tractor Supply because I was already there and to be honest, they're probably priced higher on wire than an auto parts store.

For those that don't want to cut the factory wires, check out the Australian fix from STEDI. Mine arrived yesterday. Quick install on my 2024 JLUR to use the high beam connection to control the relay for my Baja Designs leds. To access the back of the passenger headlight, I removed the air filter box. Fast and easy! https://www.stedi.com.au/jeep-wrangler-jl-gladiator-headlight-piggy-back-adaptor.html
