Hi guys,
well I ended up buying that TJ from the auctions that I mentioned in one of my other threads in 'tech torque'. Got it for $900 (1100) by the time I got it home. The sump had been damaged, all the oil had leaked out of it and the previous owners obviously ran it dry as the engine is ticky. Doesn't matter cause as I mention earlier I have a spare engine from my wreck TL.
Anyway back to the topic, it came with halogen verada headlights and the previous owner had wired them up quite unprofessionally. They disconnected the middle lights and just ran the outside ones. The lights also had to be on highbeam to switch on (to lowbeam) which meant they had no highbeam. I have looked at the connectors and it looks like Veradas had H7 globes (single filament) with only 2 pins for the connections, however, it looks like a standard TJ has the 3 pins for a H4 dual filament globe. I am really confused as how to wire the halogen lights as I need them properly wired for roadworthy. Could someone please help me with this? Thanks
