Finally received both LP6s and the harness. Installed last night / this morning. Overall install was pretty simple with the BD upfitter lockout harness. I hooked the low and high beams to the factory Aux switches 1 and 2 and the backlight to Fuse F50 (always on when the ignition is on) via a fuse tap. These things are stupid bright, and I think really complete the look of the front end.
Backlight, always on when the Jeep is running:
Low beams (Aux 1):
High beams (Aux 2):
The BD lockout harness (pictured below) will default to the high beam and lock out the low beam if both Aux 1 and 2 are active to prevent burning the lights out (per BD, running both high and low at the same time will burn up the circuitry in the lights):
Fuse tap into F50 for the backlight, cut a small hole into the fuse box to run the wire through. The harness is way too long and leaves way too much extra wire, which I had to just stuff next to the fuse box. I’m out of space now with the factory Aux switches. When I get the cowl lights I’m going to also get the SPOD BantamX touchscreen switch panel, at which time I’ll cut down the harnesses and clean up all the wire. The BantamX has a lockout function so I won’t need the relays in the BD harness I’ll cut them out.
I’ll post some night pics showing the performance at night compared to the factory headlights sometime in the coming days.
