Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
I checked out the link you provided along with the part number 6314 and
found the following description:
Quad Beam headlight conversion kit - keeps low beams on when high beams are
activated. Works with most pre-2000 GM's (old body style) and 2003 full
size GM's.
The description sounds as if it is for GM products only. 1) Is this what I
need for my 2000 Wrangler and 2) from the picture, it appears that the kit
is for one light, meaning that I will need to buy 2 kits (one per light)?

Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
I'm not sure why part #6314 is described that way. I used that part number
(only need one kit) on my '02 TJ and it works fine.
You could call KC Hilites at 928-635-2607, or contact them by email at:
http://www.kchilites.com/contact.html
and double check with them before ordering.
