Just got everything in to start the new lights. Man this is going to be fun. Hella Balck Magic 1000's on the bumper, 500's on the window mounts, KC rear back up ights, and LED rock lights. I will keep a phot log of what it takes. I couldn't have gotten this far with out the help of people on this forum. So thanks to everyone who has had a hand in getting htis going. I am guessing this is going to take several days!Attachment 214340Attachment 214341Attachment 214343Attachment 214344Attachment 214345

The lights look great! Although all that wiring looks like a nightmare :eek2: probably not as bad as it looks though. Good luck :thumbsup:

So is that some kind of a multiple fuse box thing that you will run all your lights through... how does it work? thanks

Yes. After a long search on here I found several people using this. Now I am no expert in this I had a lot of help from JK Ford. The way it works is you can install your relays and fuses in a water proof box and power the whole thing from the battery instead of using your existing jeep circiuts. The cost of the relay/fuse box was only about $30. It's all the other stuff that adds up. I ordered a few special tools for crimping and soldering the wires but what you see cost about 400 bucks. The place a bought it from sells in bulk so you may be able to find it cheaper. I will porbally use 30 connections but they sell in lots of 100. Bought it all from Waytecwire.com

Thanks for the reply I'm going to have to look into one of those cause I have 8 lights and there are just to many wires running to the battery. If I understand you correctly that will fix that problem.

I planned and rewiring all my lights anyway.. color coordinating everything and soldering all the connectors perfect time to put that in there

Where did you get it from?

Waytecwire.com

They have everything you need to do this and then some. Give me a few days and when I post pics I will provide a list and stock numbers of what I used. I am expecting this to take me about 20hrs to complete.

Don't tell anyone but neither am I. I asked a lot of questions and got several responses from members here. This is a great place for answers.
