What Do I Need???
I installed some new LOD bumpers on my jeep, and the rear has 55-watt fog lights that came with it, but the only thing that was in the light's box was a + an - wire for them and a generic-ass switch, no relays or fuses, and I'm not sure there's even enough wire to hook them up anyway.
I've already wired up my PIAA lights because they had everything I needed already in there, but these don't.
Can anyone who either has this setup on their jeep already or just knows how to do this tell me what I'd need to buy to set them up right and not fry myself or set my jeep on fire by messing it up?...

You could always just put together your own harness with fuses and relay. Just copy the diagram from you existing harness.
That or buy something like this from Quadratec.

May not be exactly what you are looking for but I'm sure there are other DIY harness setups.

if i understand you right,you want to wire them up to work when in reverse?or do u want to run them any time?i would set up the relay to be triggered when you put the jeep in reverse.i used a single light from my KC back up light kit.no place to really hook up 2 on the back of a jeep.pull the light out and hook up a splice onto the white wire on the back of the housing to trigger ur lites to come on when u put the jeep in reverse.

this is where i put the wire the first try.but i was wrong.the reverse where does not come up into the body.i ran the hot wire to the fuse panel i installed behind the glove box.

but u can get the splice onto the wire coning out of the lite behind the housing.and the screws are side specific.took me a few seconds to figure that one out.
PS......make sure you have plenty of shrink tubing and electrical tape to almost waterproof the connections at the lights.i used coax seal since i had some left over.
