Nice looking set up in your truck, thanks for the wiring diagram. I have the sport lites on my wish list of things to do. Where did you get your lights?

hey joe air force thanks for the link ill try that and if you do sport headlights on your you dont have to worry about cutting the metal behind the headlights. On the 2001 its allready cut out enough for both bulbs to plug in

when i wired my headlights the one thing I did wrong was I hooked up the outboard 9007 high and low backwards but it was an easy fix. Just somethin to keep in mind when doing it.

Mounted sport lights

I mounted my sport lights today, and was thinking of installing 3 way toggle switch for the outside lights. Anyone try this yet?

No, I was thinking of running it a total circuit on its own. I realize that i would have two functions to go from hi to low beam but where i travel sometimes i can go an hour without meeting someone.

yes, i have fog lights and they do work right. It might have somethin to do with the fog lights didn't come with the truck originally. As soon as i got the truck i went and bought the Mopar fog light kit and installed it. so there factoyr fog lights and switch, just not original to the truck. I also just bought the sport conversion wiring harness from suvlights.com cause otherwise i never would have gotten around to wiring them up myself.
