Installing Slee's new style headlight harness

Step Four: Starting from the DS of the truck (93-97), start pulling the PS side of the new wiring harness through the same route as the existing wiring harness. Make sure it follows the same path and that the harness isn't in front of the hood latch cable or horns. Just follow the same path. Once you pull it all the way to the passenger side, you will see the opening to go into the PS of the fender. Pull it through so that its just long enough to reach the lights and then some for slack. Once you are sure of where the harness should be, go ahead and grab the hi and lo beam lights, tab some dielectric grease in the pigtail socket and install the headlight into the socket. Once those two lights are attached to the harness and then to the housing, you will see where the old wiring harness ground is. Its on the left side inner fender well. Its two wires connected by a bolt. You will be attaching the ground to this same spot. Take the old light connectors and use electrical tape to cover the sockets and then stuff them into the light housing.

Step Five: Now you can go ahead and start using some real zip ties, not the ones included in the kit, and start zip tying the new harness to the old wiring harness. I used two zip ties under the crossmember, one on the PS and one on the DS.

Step Six: Repeat the same process for attaching the DS lights as you did for the PS lights.

Step Seven: In the little baggy you get with the kit is three useless zip ties, a bolt, a nut and an "L" bracket. Now this was a real head scratcher. Mainly because the instructions failed to mention this and I had no idea what to do with it. After staring at it for a good 15 minutes I figured it must somehow all fit together. So I looked that the wiring harness for the relay connectors and they are really close together. Ok so the relays must be close together too. What if I..... BINGO! You can see in the picture how I "assume" they go together. Makes sense to me anyway. Now to add it the to the inner fender...but where? Well there are two spare holes in the inner near where the DS ground is connected. I chose the top one. BUT, there is no bolt to go in there. THIS should be part of the kit. I can't image all the FJ80s not all being the same bolt. Luckily I has a spare one from a project I worked on earlier. Now that you have decided where its going, ATTACH THE RELAYS INTO THE WIRING HARNESS BEFORE YOU ATTACH THE RELAYS TO THE FENDER!!!!
