Wiring for a 97+ front clip


Recommended Posts

Just starting to look at options for rebuilding the MJ after the wreck. Haven't been able to see all thats damaged yet, but I know right now that Ill need a new front clip and hood to start the process. I was thinking that I would go to a 97+ front clip since I was doing the front clip anyway. I was looking at my 97 XJ and saw that the corner light had a different connector and the bumper lights had dual lights with different connectors. So what all is involved in wiring up the new front clip? Just new side marker sockets and bumper sockets along with splicing in a second bumper light socket?

When I did the 97+ on the Mild build, I just used the 97+ wiring harness. I took the old harness end and tied it into the connector that would be in the 97+ XJ. Here is the link to my build. It's toward the bottom.

If you need what wires to join, I can get that for you. Basically the older harness has fewer wires. On the newer harness, they use a wire for each light individually. Going this route, if you ever wanted to go back, it would just be unplug and plug a new one in.
