Auxbeam lights wired to factory aux switches

[JT25]

Morning friends but my first accessory for my gladiator. Bought some 4 inch triangle auxbeam lights everything seems pretty simple wiring wise, except for the on and off switch. It comes with one automatically wired in can I clip that and wire it to my aux lights on the Jeep I think so I’d like somebody with a little more knowledge to answer that question please and thank you..

Yes, you can.

Wire the lead going out to the lights directly to the aux wire of your choice. Cap the other incoming lead going to the switch.

Yep. Do you have the wiring harness in hand? The switch part may be a separate pigtail that plugs into the longer lead from the lights (that's how my hellas were). If that's the case then it's even easier because you just don't use it and trim your lead wires to whatever length is necessary.

Thanks sir

I’ve got both the aux beam and the random side shooters wired to two separate aux switches in the engine bay. Super simple install.

Holy high-beams, people give me grief over my Harbor Freight Roadshock Edge 6's.
Do you charge for the suntans those give off?

I unplugged the pigtail can’t get the lights to work. I’m not the best wiring guy.

Does the relay need to be grounded

your factory switches already have a relay. Are there three wires or two coming from your lights? If there are 3 then I assume your lights have some kind of optional backlit function(like a driving light) and then also a full-on function. You will want to run your ground to a suitable ground (I like the bolt that is right next to the battery on the passenger fender) and then connect your remaining wire to an aux switch wire (or two if your lights have a secondary function).

TLDR if your wires are white, blue, and black coming from each light then wire both blacks to a ground, both blues to 1 aux wire and both whites to another aux wire.
