Try brute box directly I know I have seen them for 06 and older jeeps. Maybe they have a release date.

The 07 and newer Jeeps lighting is controlled by the computer. To get these to work without altering circuits, you need a very good hacker / programmer.

One of the problems with doing this is the bulb and connector type on later JKs. The H13 connector can bairly handle the current of one light... The ground pin is common while the two elements have their own pins. 3 total. When both high and low beams are on, the current on the ground pin is doubled. Prolonged use (more than a flash) could cause the pin to overheat and melt. If this is something you really want to do you should look into an H4 conversion. It uses far larger pins. (Don't just get the connector adapter. It will still have the weak link. You will need to completely replace the connector.)

HU? the headlights and the fog lights are on completely different circuits.

Your right... The original post was not only for the fogs but both high and low beams too. Unless I misunderstood. Which is possible. I only addressed the headlight issue.

A friend who works for Chrysler did this to my 2010. He went in to the computer via his laptop to change the setting.
