Installed a painless kit and am having trouble installing the dimmer switch. Where does the dimmer plug in to? Does it plug into the headlight switch somehow? On a lighter note, had the cj out on her maiden run. 4 hours, no issues other than having to get home before dark!!:cool:
 
The way it works is the light switch on the dash turns on the headlights. This turns on 12 volts and sends it in a red and white wire to the dimmer switch on the floor. Depending on the position of this switch, it may send the voltage back out a gray wire to the low beam lights. Or if the dimmer switch is activated the switch may send the 12 volts out a gray and white wire to the high beams.
These wire colors are for my stock CJ. I would hope the Painless colors are the same.
 
I got it, I'm an idiot. It was clearly marked!
