I've got some fog lights mounted under the bumper, which draw power directly from the battery, and were shorting out when I first got the XJ. I am taking them out, and putting some LED in their place (yes I solved the short issue) and was thinking, can I just turn these into DRL instead of 'fog' lights by routing accessory power to the switch?
I'm only referring to them as DRL since they would generally be on all the time unless I switched off; and my main reason for doing it is to ensure I don't leave them on accidentally.
They are only 20w combined, (1.3A according to the spec)
My main concern would be overworking the accessory circuit.... I could easily take it from the stereo harness, I've got a very dinky little mechless unit that doesn't draw much at all.
Is there a better spot on a 98 Sport to take it from, and have it either be accessory or 'on'?
Thanks in advance!
