Jk lights
I just bought a used 2007 Jeep Wrangler Sport. The person I bought it from had put some Westin off road lights. The problem is they said the lights won't turn on because they aren't wired correctly. She said I needed a switch. I know nothing about offroad lights and am very new to Jeeps. In the glovebox I found a switch but it wasn't connected to anything. It looks like they are wired into the Jeep but I have no idea where at inside. If someone could help I'd really appreciate it.

Yikes, I hate dealing with electrical. Follow the wire from the back of the lights into the cab. Don't be afraid to pop of the panels in and around the dash, they are just plastic clips that snap right back on. You'll probably find a red wire leading to the battery, and a black or white wire leading to a ground. Theeeeen another couple of wires that need a switch tied to them. Good luck buddy, it's hard to say without being there.

If you're not comfortable configuring a relay to power your lights, you can also purchase a relay harness that's pre-wired at your local auto parts (they even sell some with a wireless switch, but those cost more). I'm sure a local stereo/alarm shop would also charge you a decently fair price to wire them up for you. Even the right buddy would probably do it for a single
