STEP 1: Removal of factory (existing) headlamps
A
B
Circled are 3 of the clips to be taken out when removing the Jeep grille
Use philips and/or flat blade screwdrivers to remote clips (clip design may be differ on your vehicle)
The parking light assembly has already been removed from its location in the grille (circled)
The Jeep headlamp removal requires that the grille be removed first.
3
To remove the grille: open the hood; along the top of the grille where it meets the shroud,
remove all the plastic clips.
Gently pull the top of the grille outward, away from the car. Reach down and release the parking
lamp bulbs and holders, by turning them a quarter-turn. Keep them attached to the wire
harness, and place them where they will not be damaged. (They can be left to hang in the
opening between the bumper and the body of the Jeep).

4
The bottom of the grille is held in place by clips. Gently pull on the bottom of the grille until the
clips disengage; remove the grille from the car and put aside in a safe place.
The bottom clips (circled) are disengaged by pulling at the bottom of the grille
The headlamp bezel is held in place with 4 Torx screws. Note the parking lamp still attached.
To remove the headlamps:
a. Remove the metal bezel ring, which is held in place with 4 screws. Use a T‐15 Torx
bit/screwdriver.
b. As the last screw is removed, hold onto the headlamp, as it could fall.
c. Remove the bulb from the assembly with a ¼ turn, remove the headlamp assembly from
the car and put it in a safe place. Unplug the factory harness from the bulb.
d. Proceed to Step 2, Method A or Method B.

The procedure below results in the DRL illuminating WHITE whenever the key is “on”
(DRL function). Should you desire different functionality, you would alter the connections as
necessary. Below are two recommended methods for making these connections.
STEP 2: Making the DRL light electrical connection
Method A: Making the DRL connection at a 12V accessory socket.
Method B: Making the DRL connection at the fuse box with an “Add-a-fuse” connector.
Method A:
You may begin this step at either the driver or passenger side of the vehicle; we recommend
the driver side so that the red wire has a shorter path to the driver’s side interior.
The red halo switchback wire illuminates the DRL, and it must be connected to a circuit which
is “hot” with the ignition on.
Extend the red wire to the desired length for proper connection (in the photo below, we
extended this wire by crimping on an additional length of red wire).
A
B

Pass this red wire through the headlight bezel opening, in order to avoid pinching it when the
headlight assembly is installed.
C
Caution
Some Jeeps have TWO 12v accessory sockets, one hot with the key on, and one hot all the
time.Select the one which is “on” only with the ignition on. If you select the one which is
always hot, the DRL lights will never turn off, and you will drain the battery.
In our 2007 Wrangler, the LEFT 12 socket is hot only with key on, so this is one we used. The RIGHT socket is hot at all times.
Caution
Modern (JK) Jeeps use multiplex (Canbus) wiring throughout the vehicle. You CANNOT
randomly select a 12V under‐hood wire and splice into it without potentially disturbing the
Canbus system.
6

Run the red wire through the firewall and under the dash. Access the wiring behind the 12V
accessory socket. (You may need to view videos online to learn the proper way to remove the dash
of your vehicle).
With the ignition on, using the multimeter/test lamp, probe the two wires to find the one which is hot
with key on. Turn off the ignition.
Using a 3M Scotch‐Lok or similar, connect the red wire to that 12V accessory socket wire.
Using cable ties and/or electric tape, neatly secure the red wire along its travel path.
Repeat the steps above for the other side of the vehicle. NOTE, however, that the 2nd red wire does
not need to be routed into the interior; instead, route this red wire across the engine compartment,
and connect it to the 1st red wire. Secure all wiring.
Proceed to Step 3.

Method B:
You may begin this step at either the driver or passenger side of the vehicle; we recommend the
passenger side so that the red wire has a shorter path to the engine compartment fuse box.
The red halo switchback wire illuminates the DRL, and it must be connected to a circuit which
is “hot” with the ignition on.

extended this wire by crimping on an additional length of red wire).

Important!
If there is a fuse in your chosen fuse box location, move it to the lower fuse location in
the ‘‘Add-a-circuit’’ . If no fuse is there, add one to the lower fuse location.
Caution
Please research which fuse position to use in order to properly wire your lighting accessory.
Choosing the wrong location could result in major electrical issues.
Run the red wire along a path within the engine compartment that will end next to the fuse box.
Leave plenty of slack in the wire until all connections are complete.
Once you have selected the proper fuse position, insert the fuses to your ‘‘Add-a-circuit’’ as
follows:

TEMPORARILY connect the red wire to the ‘‘Add-a-circuit’’ connector (use electrical tape), as
you will NOT want to finalize (crimp) the connection until both headlights are installed and all
functionality testing has confirmed that
all connections are correct.
Repeat the steps above for the other side of the vehicle. NOTE, however, that the 2nd red wire
does not need to be routed to the fuse box; instead, route this red wire across the engine
compartment, and connect it to the 1st red wire. Secure all wiring.
Note: It is important that lid fuse box lid can be closed completely. Once functionality has been
confirmed, create a channel for the wire to pass through the fuse box wall without being
pinched or the fuse box being compromised. The picture below shows the completed wire
passing through the fuse box (red box). This channel was created using a triangular file.
Proceed to Step 3.

b. The upper fuse receptacle is to be used for the accessory you are adding. Plug that fuse in.
For DRL function of a sealed beam headlight, a 10 AMP fuse is sufficient. But make sure that
you use the correct fuse for the location you have selected.
c. Plug the ‘‘Add-a-circuit’’ into the selected fuse position.
a. With the blades of the ‘‘Add-a-circuit’’ pointing down, the lower fuse receptacle is to be used
for the existing fuse in your fuse box. Plug that fuse in the ‘‘Add-a-circuit’’.
