I also did this after taz posted this. The red slide connectors are an odd size and were tough to find. I have some extras I can send if you need them.

A couple of the guys on here have replaced them with

different stuff,I used some out of a custom van we had laying around work.

I tried searching for threads,but I'm new too.Try it.

I'm sure you'll get some responses shortly.

Factory ones are nla,so either fab in something,or find in a yard.

Bunches of aftermarket lamps available,I'm just too dumb to

tell you where to look.

The real folks will be along and tell you what to use.Hang tight.

Told ya.Good people here.

Now if you guys would tech me how to search effectively. :cheers:

The factory dome lights located in the B pillar had a full time power wire to them that would allow them to be turned on while the door was closed. You probably used the wrong wire when you wired your new ones in. You will need to use the wire that is switched on by the door switch.

[jeep_freek88]

I bought lights with switches on them.

[jeep_freek88]

black wire with white line = door power

solid black wire = constant power

red wire = hot wire

 

 

 

If you connect the two black wires you get constant power to all cab lights.

Turn the knob for the headlights to the left. It is probally turned to the right which turns on the dome lights.

[jeep_freek88]

turning the knob counter clockwise turns on the floor lights. I just got back from my little project and figured it out. I just left the black wire with a white stripe disconnected and used the two solid red and black wires; now the dome lights are operated by the switch on them only which is what i want.

:cheers: all is good

[maddzz1]

Good deal. My headlight switch works the floor lights and the b pillar lights.

About halfway down this link is what a number of us use for interior lights. they fit well provide adequate light and are a pretty easy project!

I just got done putting two of those lights in. Works great! Just need to get some LED bulbs to make them brighter.

 

Wiring was really odd. There's a black wire, a red wire, and a yellowish wire. I would've thought the black wire was the ground. But I used the red wire and the yellowish wire.

 

Works just as it should when the doors are open, or by using the headlight switch. So I didn't use the black wire at all. :dunno:

 

Thanks for the great idea!

If I'm not mistaken the Black wire is the "full time" Hot wire......by hooking that up they will stay on all the time if the lense is in the lower setting, theres 3 settings on the lenses......Full time (down), off (center) and by switches (upward)

[johnnyc]

OK cool, so the black wire isn't needed since the new lights are not 3-position. I don't know if there'd ever be a case where I would want them on all the time. :)

 

Thanks.
