I
got the correct light switch for the Jeep some time back, but I did not
have the chance to install it until now. The person who removed
the switch from the prior vehicle did a great job of leaving me about
1 inch of wire behind the plug. The wires were also rather brittle.
I would suspect that the switch was removed and then sat in
the sun for quite a while. Part way through, I was going to
test what I had done so far, and the switch did not work. I
had to turn it on and off a bunch of times, I suspect that there was some
dirt on the contacts inside the switch, because after cycling it a few
times, it started to work.
Here
is what the switch looks like
Here
you can see the plug with a very small amount of the wiring harnes that
I was left with.
Here
the tail lights are in and wired
I
still need to redo the front grill and install the small bullet lights
and the put the blackout driving light on the left front fender.
Here
is the switch in the dash.
This
is what the blackout tail lights look like at night.
And
the blackout stop light.
More
pictures to come once I have the bracket for the front blackout light
and the teardrop lights in.
