Well most XJ owners know, the stock headlights suck, most people see up to a 4 volt drop from the battery to the headlight using the factory harness. Solution, buy or build your own harness, i chose the later. Installed the harness and everything but i have yet to find 2 5pole relays anywhere in richmond that arent like $12 each. So I cant tell if it has made a difference yet since its on the jeep but not hooked up. I also semi went the route jeff did on his/thayers jeep. I installed 2 cigg outlets in the rear, one is always hot other is on with the key, also put in a 3 cigg plug under the rear seat, 2 hot, 1 on with key. The cool thing is the 3 way plug i hacked has a safety shut off if the voltage gets too low, so all the outlets that are always hot are using that feature. My reasoning? Under the rear seat i plan on installing a streamlight flashlight with a charging station and plug in an inverter to the seat or cargo area outlets.
I found 2 hella 550s for $20 on craigslist so those will be mounted on the bumper and ill either keep em or mount em to a safari rack and purchase some round hella 500s at some point.
Headed to the junkyard tomorrow before the cookout in search of a hitch, factory fog light switch and extra roof rack cross bars to try and make a tire carrier til i can get a safari rack. Maybe even try and find some Eccos while im there since i know the guy who owns the junkyard
Pics to come....
