Mike and JS Strike Again -- Replacing the Headlights

Posted by on June 17, 2007 at 12:17 AM UTC in categories Jeep

I've had quite a few things in the workshop waiting to go on the Jeep, but there's only so much time in a week-end, so Mike and I have been tackling one project at a time. This week-end we changed the headlights and improved the turn signals. Mike worked out a sweet wiring diagram to turn the sidemarker lights (the orange lights on the front fenders) into a running light / turn signal combo. The new Cibie headlights also have a "city light" feature for the daytime -- a second bulb that got wired to the running lights. We also had to splice in a new connector for the H4-type lightbulb. The new headlights look really sweet and should be a huge difference. All that's left to do is align them properly before using them on the highway. I figure the local Loblaws should have a good level parking lot and wall to do this.
