I did a dual battery system install today and went ahead and install the aux light harness and switch. Lights to come.

Switch, relay, and harness location
Kirk run to the locak pick a part and find a cherokee. Their fuse boxes have a large amount of relay slots. You can throw it in front of your primary battery and put the relays in there. It will look factory. 
What lights are you planning on getting for it? There is a good group buy in the for sale section on hella HID's

Relays
Do you know if it will fit with the AC parts relocated beside the battery. Thats one of my next items on the to do list. I will check it out and see how it looks. Where the relays are at now the battery covers them mostly so no big deal there. The lights I plan to get are the ones in the link listed. They seem very bright and everyone seems very happy with them. They can be bought at Oreileys and have them the next day. I thought for the price they would be worth a shot.

I've thought about those also but still not 100% convinced that they are sturdy and last.
I'll change my mind when I see some on a baja 1000 buggy or trophy truck.

These are a proven brand (hella) and two 55w HID 9 inchers through that purchase are actually cheaper than two of the O'riley brand ones.

Those look good. Im gonna have to do some measuring and see what size I can fit. Would like the 9" but not sure if it will fit.

Did everyone that installed this tie it into the headlights? We tried to install our AUX harness yesterday and the pigtials to the lights show an open leg. It appears the harness was put together wrong at the relay end.
Very frustrating as this is supposed to be a plug and play unit. After 3 hours we gave up.
Now I did ask the guy when I bought it if I had to tie it in to the headlights with the optional 9005/9006 jumper connectors and he said no that we didnt have to. I told him I wanted it as a standalone harness. Was this correct or incorrect? We even plugged in a plug to it with the circuit closed at the jumper connection and we still couldn't get power downstream.......
Leaving in a week and I got no lights. :/
thanks for any help.

I got mine from Slee Off Road as many others have. The main 9005/9006 standalone harness works with the aux harness so if you have both they should work together nicely.
Not sure how you would connect aux lights using JUST the aux harness and stock truck wiring.
If you look at this link

you'll see the fog/driving light plugs the aux harness plugs into.

The other lights I had on my 93 used an IPF harness that was installed by the PO but it was separate I believe. I could turn the off road lights on and off independently of the headlights.
Why would you have to tie this harness in to the headlights, if you have power and ground? What benefit is it to get into the headlight harness?
How To Wire Your Auxiliary Lamps
I even told the guy at Slee when I ordered these that I didnt want to tie these lights in to the headlights and he told me I could do that the way it was, w/o the jumpers. Was that incorrect?
Ive installed Bosch fogs on a truck years ago and that harness was it's own circuit, no tie in to anything you just had to make sure you turned it off.
Sorry just trying to figure it out.....
Cheers,

The harness is set up to get it's trigger from either the low beam circuit or the hi-beam circuit. The reason we do this is that if you have driving lights, then you can synchronize them with your hi-beams. In other words if they switch for the aux harness is on, then the driving lights will work with you hi-beams. So when you dim your lights, they will go off, that way you don't have to fumble with the light switch.
If you wire it to the low beams, then the lights have to be on, for the lights to come on when the switch attached to the aux harness is on.
In both cases since it is tied to the vehicle lights, the lights will also have the auto-off feature of the main headlights. You can leave the lights on, exit the vehicle and the lights (including the aux lights) will turn off.
Either situation above is achieved by plugging it into the upgrade harness. If you do not have the upgrade harness, we provide a jumper that makes it plug and play.
The jumper functionality can also be done by hard wiring the trigger circuit.
If you do not want any attachment to the vehicle's light system, you need to hardwire the jumper circuit. The purple wire on the white plug should go to +12v and the red wire should go to ground. Then the lights will work independently of the vehicles lights.
I am sorry if there was a misunderstanding on the sales side, but anyone here that sells are aware of how the system works.

I had my pencil beams wired to work with the lows (which stay on with the high beams), but found that driving out in the country where I live, I had to do exactly what Christo said above, reach down and fumble with the switch while simultaneously clicking to low beams - I switched it to high beams only about 3 weeks ago - takes about 5 seconds to switch over on this kit. If your aux lights are fogs, then leaving them on low beams is nice.
I like this system because it is tied to the factory lights with the main HL wiring harness - I'm the type of guy that may forget to turn off the lights and come back to a dead battery.
