Hey guys I have a set of four inch L.E.D lights that I am putting the rear of my Cherokee. I was just wondering if anyone has done this on there XJ before, and if they have any wiring suggestions or pictures. Like they always say a picture is worth a thousand words. Help would be great!

Thanks
Andrew

I just did it today, but with oval LEDS. I cant figure out the blinkers though, since they have to be on the same wire as BRAKE, it makes the other side blink too.

I am running four lights in the back two for turn signals and the other two for the brakes.

I'm getting ready to do this as well. Everything i have read says you have to get trailer brake light converters, the 4 stock wires will run into the box and then the 3 on the LED will run out of the box.

I haven't bought mine yet but i believe there about $20 a piece, and stay away from the NAPA ones.

Drawtite are the ones to use

What are these trailer wiring harness's that I keep hearing about as well? How do they benefit from just the original wiring?

They allow you to use the same light for the brake and turnsignal light.

This is the wiring harness I bought for my '00 XJ when I installed my Hidden Hitch.
