Tow lights wiring?
 

Where does the harness for trailer lights connect up to the harness on a 98 TJ?

There is a plug inside the right-rear corner of the tub Jenn that is
accessed from underneath, through that little fiber/cardboard cover.
The plug is pulled apart and the trailer light's "T" connector is
inserted between them. Most 4x4, automotive, and Jeep dealers sell
trailer wiring harnesses with the T connector that makes it a pretty
painless installation.

P.S. That plug is behind where the right-rear tail light assembly is.

Re: Tow lights wiring?
 

I just put one in a few months ago. You can buy ones that just plug in
at pretty much anywhere. I got mine at a boat shop for under $20.

In the very back of the passenger's side there's a plastic cover that
is held in by plastic plugs. Upon first inspection it didn't look like
there was any access, but they pop out pretty easily, and you just
unplug the brake lights plug and plug each end into the hitch wire.
You'll probably want to have a few tie downs when you do it, because
there isn't really any intuitive path to run the wire to the hitch.
Just be sure to keep it away from the exhaust.

Good luck..
