Re: Goodbye YJ, Hello TJ!
Ya gotta be careful with that wiring. Cops do safety blitzes and they
check lights.... If you have certain lights stock, they better work
stock or you better have a 'good' reason.
Stock you have 'fog' lights. By regulation these are supposed to turn
off with the high beams.
If you convert to 'driving' lights, they are supposed to turn off with
the low beams. If your driving lights are pushing 100W or larger, they
need covers for street use because they are off road only lights.
Nothing looks stupider than these fools that drive around on clear days
or nights with fog lights on or the total idiots that put driving light
bulbs in them and drive around with the low beams and these two spot
lights on.
My old roommate got nailed for having 'driving' lights turned on with
his low beams while driving up Yonge St. in Toronto. Yes, he was one of
those idiots that liked them on. He believed me it was a no no after
that.....
