2014 jeep Sahara Aftermarket DLR question
 
I had a custom bumper installed on my 2014 jeep Sahara but there is no place to install the factory DRL's. The wires are still there and I am thinking about getting some aftermarket DRL's. My question is would it cause any harm if I just snipped off the factory connectors and wired the lights? Should I use a inline fuse or will it be fine as the wires are already set up for DRL's?

The circuit is already protected with in-line fuses rated for the 55 watt output of the lights ,so as long as you don't exceed this rating u should b good 2 go. If u snip the connectors off, I would solder the joints as well as heat shrink them to keep any moisture out.

Most aftermarket lights will be more than 55W so the current draw will be higher. With that being said you can install a relay and use the stock wiring to power the relay coil to control the lights. Then you can size the fuse and wiring for the lights according to current draw.
