- In this video I install some LED headlights in my 96 XJ. These headlights have both daytime running lights and blinkers integrated. I go through the wiring of these options as well as the basic removal and installation of the headlights step by step.
Thank you, you are a life saver!!! I not good with wires!
happy to help!
Also, what gage are those DRL wires? In case my lights don't come with those wires??
Thanks for the video. I just purchased similar headlights for my xj and plan on doing the same. Does the running light stay on when you turn your headlights on? I would prefer it to not come on when the headlights are on but idk which wire I should tap instead?
the running light does stay on when headlights come on, i do not know if there is a way to bypass this in the xj without a lot of custom wiring
You wired the daytime running light to your parking lights. Not a true daytime running light since you have to pull the light switch 1 notch out and reset every time you turn the Jeep off.
these did not come with a true DRL, while it is true that i could have wired it to the ignition to work as a true DRL, that did not fit my needs, and the ability to turn my lights fully off is something i value. This is the simplest and most common way to complete the task
To call it a DRL is misleading. If you have to turn on your parking lights it also dims the interior lights. I have a double din and the added steps of having to turn the “DRL” on and set the brightness on my head unit every single time I turn my Jeep on isn’t something I will entertain.
I understand your desire to turn your lights completely off but these are NOT Daytime Running Lights. These are headlights you wired to your parking lights. Everyone else on RUclips wiring this way is as equally incorrect.
@@joeybarbara If you don't like it that's fine he's just giving people the simple way of doing it because not everyone has the time to go digging through shit loads of wires
I essentially did the same thing with similar aftermarket lights but kept blowing the 15 amp fuse on the fuse block for flashers and hazards. Any idea what might be causing this?
Idk if you’ve solved this by now, but you’re essentially overloading the fuse. It sucks but you need to run a relay. You can still splice into the blinker lines, but you’d need to then run them to a relay and go from there.
@@Geetee3991 thanks for the advice! I can’t remember how, but managed to get them to function without a relay, but will probably ultimately hook it up with a relay for safe measure once it warms back up.
I got my passenger side done and when I did driver side running lights don't work front or rear
did the passenger side work before you did the drivers side?
where did you find those lights? I like the blinker idea as well
here is the link for them!
