European JKs... Tell me about your aux lights in the headlamps
.
While I plan to replace my stock crap headlamps with something much better someday soon, I wanna play around with the aux light option of the stock one. I noticed a small taped over hole in my light's housings and hear that Euro JKs have an aux light in theirs. Please share info and pics. Thanks in advance.
I had a buddy add in aux bulbs to his Suzuki Samurai headlamps. He ended up with a dim orange glow which looked pretty cool as parking lights. I wanna try the same thing.

Here in Europe all lights on the front of a car have to emit white light, so our cars don't have the turn-signals lid as running lights, they are just plain turn signal, flashing when changing directions. All cars have to have white running lights, often integrated with a small 4watt lamp inside the headlights. This is for security reasons, so if a headlight fails, in the darkness other drivers still can see that there is a car comming on, not a motorcycle.
Some guys here changed their turn signals to work as running lights to make their rigs more looking "US-style", but the cops will fine them for that when pulled over...

4 Watt lamp... hmm. I'll have to look into this more.

Wonder if my US JK has the wiring harnesses tucked away, or easily added, to make them work on mine? Have heard that the electrical system is touchy and doesn't like add-ons, but if it can be added the correct way...?
Need part numbers.

it is a fixed part of the wiring harness, sorry, no single parts. If you use a relais, switched by the running lights (the ones in the front turn signals), you should be fine without any trouble...
