I'm going to be wiring mine up soon with the same harness and switch. I'm going to wire them independent of the stock headlights and fog....will I be able to control amber, low, high with this setup? Im just learning about this stuff so excuse my ignorance.

Can you adjust idle speed? Have a 2019 JL with 2.0 and the idle is always around 1500 for emissions when start up but hate sitting there for 90-120seconds till drops. Would love to get rid of that emissions rpm setting

@Vex_Offroad 6 ай бұрын

So my experience is only with the JK, but I want to say no. You can temporarily raise the idle for winching, but you can’t modify any engine running parameters. I assume JScan purposely avoids anything that could tamper with emissions to start off the EPA’s radar

Great video! I run a 21 jlu 4 door with RC 6 switch pod. Normally with my off road lights i just run the negatives and postive to each little slot and im good to go. Assuming since this is a 3 postion switch. Running low and high needing a rocker switch that will match my RC 6 wouldnt work would it?

@Vex_Offroad 7 ай бұрын

Thanks! So the thing to watch out for is powering both the high and low circuits at the same time. I know the switchpros system can be programmed to only power one circuit at a time but I’m not sure about the RC one. You could probably get crazy with relays and set up a “nand” gate, but it’s probably just easier to buy the harness 😂

Yeah I’d say if you have no way of preventing both leads being powered at the same time you should just wire it to the high beam. I know the SwitchPro’s can be programmed to act as a 3 pole switch, but idk about others. I believe there’s also a way to do it with relays, but that’s above my pay grade lol.

What’s confusing me is your steering wheel going left when you unload the suspension. It kinda looks like your front driver climbs first and if so, that could explain a lot. You might want to take a step back and look at how the entire rig is moving. Compression/rebound could be goofy and you should be sure both front and rear track bar pivot planes are even. Lack of a rear sway bar can even make the frame twist over soft suspension during acceleration. I’m just thinking you may have one or more other things going on here. As good as you seem to have your track/steering dialed now, it doesn’t reason that it should be that bad still.

@Vex_Offroad 9 ай бұрын

The way the suspension is set up in the rear right now I do have a lot of anti-squat. That’s why you see the front rise so much. And with 12” coilovers, that pretty much just comes with the territory. And I agree, soft suspension is definitely playing a big roll in the overall handling. But the goal however was to fix that steering wheel turn as the front end lifts because the bump steering it causes makes the steering unpredictable and darty. If in a perfect world I could make the drag link and track bar exactly the same length and plane, the steering wheel would stay dead straight as the suspension cycles. So in the end what you see in the video was as close as we could realistically get to that goal. It’s not perfect still, and obviously doesn’t handle like a race car, but it’s much better than it was and doesn’t pull all over the road with every bump anymore.

Does one wiring harness go to both lights? I would love to pick up a set of these but I'm far from an electrician so this needs to be idiot proof. haha I have an spod and an empty spot for these so I'm assuming it just plugs right in? I have my fog lights set to come on when the vehicle is in Drive and would love to do the same with these so they all come on at the same time. Do you know if that's possible somehow?

@Vex_Offroad 9 ай бұрын

Yes the harness runs to both fog lights and is plug and play. The only “wiring” you have to do is attaching the red and black to the battery and tapping into whatever circuit you want for the amber glow. I used a fuse tap on a circuit in the fuse box that is only powered when the key is on. As far as having them come on when you’re in drive… I’m not 100% use that’s going to be possible. Since the JK lights use “pulse width modulation” it’s going to cause the relay to buzz and chatter, likely leading to an early failure. I even tried powering just the amber glow off the fog lamp circuit but was getting weird flickering and behavior. So running it off the SPOD or the harbor freight harness might be your best bet. Just be sure to read the instructions carefully because you have to make sure you don’t sent power to the high beam and low beam wires at the same time.

@jasonhartl2224 9 ай бұрын

In case you missed it, there’s a voltage setting on JScan specifically for DRL’s. I have Rough Country headlights and they flickered on drl, but not since I maxed that voltage setting. Obviously my drl’s are now running as bright as full headlights, but that’s okay with me. You could get creative and tap the vehicle high beam and fog lights circuits and relay them into the individual functions of the off-road lights. With the 3-way switch you have, you could choose to turn each on independently without the vehicle switching or using the high beam and fog light stalk switches.

@Vex_Offroad 9 ай бұрын

Unfortunately I cut that part out for time. But I tried changing the DRL voltage to 12 volts and still had the buzzing issue. Also I tried doing as you said by powering them off the fog and high beam circuits, however if you pull the stalk you can power both circuits at the same time. And for some reason I was still having flicker issues even if I tapped into power down stream of my anti-flicker box for my headlights.

You can use the factory light to trigger a relay to power the lights. I'm doing that on my JKU (2007). You have to be careful not to send power to the high and low beams at the same time though. It will fry the lights. You can also protect that using relays. Just double checked if you have fogs on and turn on the high beams the factory fogs turn off. BUT if you have the fog lights on and flash the high beams (pull stalk towards you) the highs AND fogs are on. That scenario would fry these lights.

I ended up cutting that part out unfortunately, but I tried that as well. Unfortunately it was making the relay buzz with the pwm. So it would have fried it pretty quick
