Hi guys, just got a 97 wrangler - I want to intall a dome light strapped on the roll bar - which way is the best? how should I connect it? should I use a switch? obviously do not know much, so I am in desperate need for advice!! cheers, Dimitris Dimitris, I already have a dome light but I sure wish I had a switch at the tailgate so keep that in mind when someone gives you advice. Steve in Michigan Dimitris, I already have a dome light but I sure wish I had a switch at the tailgate so keep that in mind when someone gives you advice. Steve in Michigan Wire it to the existing interior light, that works off the door and tailgate switches. Find a good ground, and then run two wires under the roll bar padding to the center. Poke a small hole for the two wires, connect them to a dome light or clear running light of a suitable size, and tie strap it in place. If you do this carefully and with some forethought to appearance issues, it should come out looking great. Don't forget to allow for ultimate bulb replacement. That is, don't tie strap the lens to the light.

Perhaps the bulb is burned out. Earle > Hi guys, > thanks for the answers, [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > > cheers, > > > Dimitris Either that or maybe fuse #4.

Have you checked the headlight switch to see if that will turn on the inside lights? You turn the switch. If so, check the fuses to get the door switches back working.
