[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 433931, member: 18789"] Thanks! I’ve wanted this since I got the Jeep. I had the original light and for some unknown reason the whole assembly fell off the hood. The bolt/hole was not stripped so I have no idea what happened. That thing never really gave much light anyways. I originally did not hook up to the parking brake, thinking it wouldn’t be an issue, but now since it’s so easy to trigger the relay, there’s no way that thing isn’t going to be on and off constantly on the road. So I figured p-brake was the only real way to do it. I’m waiting to receive a diode and some heat shrink and then it will finally be permanent. For some reason when I splice in the parking brake circuits with relays sometimes I get feedback into the dash bulb, so that’s why I’m going to use a diode even if it may not have a problem. Thanks for the kind words, good luck on yours when you do it. The light output depending on the route you go is well worth the hassle. Plus, it was kind of a fun project. [/QUOTE]
