Pass this red wire through the headlight bezel opening, in order to avoid pinching it when the
headlight assembly is installed.

Caution
Some Jeeps have TWO 12v accessory sockets, one hot with the key on, and one hot all the
time.Select the one which is “on” only with the ignition on. If you select the one which is
always hot, the DRL lights will never turn off, and you will drain the battery.
In our 2007 Wrangler, the LEFT 12 socket is hot only with key on, so this is one we used. The RIGHT socket is hot at all times.
Caution
Modern (JK) Jeeps use multiplex (Canbus) wiring throughout the vehicle. You CANNOT
randomly select a 12V under
‐
hood wire and splice into it without potentially disturbing the
Canbus system.
