Ok, like most of us with CJ's, I simply can't see where I'm going at night due to the crappy headlight output. It's actually getting quite dangerous this time of year due to shorter daylight hours.
Because of my total lack of electrical knowledge I need something plug and play
Found these on Amazon:

Any advice on whether these would work or not would most certainly be appreciated!

Thanks guys for the feedback. I so appreciate you help and wisdom!😘
I think I'm starting to wrap my head around this... almost.
What does H4 mean?
These are the headlights I have now.

Will a relay harness work with these existing headlights?

I'm in the middle of rewiring my CJ5 right now and that was one of the primary things I wanted to do. I'll post up a design next week.

Some photos along with instructions would be perfect! Especially since we both have the same Jeep.
Thanks so much!

From my research so far I've heard people either get the Hella relays or some cheap Chinese brand. Sounds like a crapshoot as to what you actually end up receiving.

Ok, I just purchased the relays on Amazon. Crossing my fingers they end up being the Hella.🤞

 

[cj5chic]

No apologies necessary. I too couldn't figure out how to delete photos so this information is helpful.
As far as the harness goes, I knew it was a crapshoot before purchasing as to which I'd actually receive. I can always send it back and go with the one recommended by Matt if needed.

I mounted a ground bar on the firewall and run all my light/accessory grounds off of it

That sounds like a good idea. Do you have any photos?

 

[cj5chic]

Ok boys, these came today from Amazon for $35. They look pretty legit to me.

Dual High Low Beam Headlight Relay Wiring Harness H4/9003 With High Heat Ceramic Plugs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H5JFHR0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DrNeCb5TGW45Z

Make sure you get the one sold by USA DEALS STORE and fulfilled by Amazon. Don't go to "other sellers" as they may be sending different harnesses. That may be why some people are receiving different items.

You can also go the added distance and install a set of driving lights. I run a set of old Bosch rectangular's on the front bumper of the F350 (which has THE poorest headlights in history). They are relayed into the high beam circuit and upgraded with 100W bulbs. While not used with the lows, they are a big improvement on the open road. They not only light up the night, but are independently adjustable, allowing me to rotate the passenger side out off the road a bit, which helps me spot those pesky deer at night.

I really like the idea of adding some driving lights. The more light the better!
My front bumper has a couple mounting spots just itching for them. First things first though.... installing the relay harness to my headlights. Once I figure out how that all works I'll probably end up putting
lights all over this Jeep!
