Hi all,
Still a newbie to all of this, but am becoming a fast learner.
Was doing some work on my XJ since it was really warm out yesterday [unlike today!] so changed my driverside mirror, decided to do the NSS and some other small things I needed to get done.
I recently pulled the entire fog light wiring and relay off of an 89 limited, and added that as well, [although I've not as of yet hooked them up to the lights yet] I intend on leaving the wiring seperate than ripping my front off again [just put the new '93 header in a couple weeks ago] so I have to ground it still. Does it matter where I ground it to? or can I just ground it like the fogs are done now?
I also have two extra relays I pulled as well . I want to use at least one, if not both for when I put in roof lights. I have an extra switch already, and am going to pull a dash assembly out for it, and am thinking of cutting out and placing below the factory clock since there's nothing beneath there. From there I plan to wire out through where my existing light wires are going through the firewall, into the relay I've pulled. [Correct me if I'm wrong, but from doing the actual fog relay, the red wire is the same as the battery red wire, and the green/black stripe wire is the ground?] If this is so, then could I simply wire the relay near the fog lights one, and splice the red to red, the green/black going to the switch as the actual fog light does? or will this cause problems, or am I missing something? As well, typically with fogs, there's only 2 lights on the relay. Can they handle 4 lights at all? Or do I need to use both relays, for 2 lights each?
Appreciate all ideas and suggestions how to go about doing this.
TIA
