Build Thread Laura's Hot Pink CJ7 Jeep! From ugly to WOW!

[76cj7chick]

Do you know what your doing for taillights yet.?

Okay. I checked the bulbs in my front and side turn signals and they were both dual filaments/elements so its unlikely the bulbs..

I'm waiting on a oil pressure gauge in the snail mail.. And some of my wires are hanging, so I didn't want to hook up my battery to check the voltage.. However, Just wondering if the tail/park/running lights are supposed to be on the same circuit as the brake? Or do they have their own circuit?
I currently have backup lights, and turn separate from the park lights..

To be honest... I tried to use my ohmmeter and I had to ask my brother how to use it again.. (I don't know why but I always forget how to use them.. ) -I tried to check for positive and negative wires without hooking up the battery..!

It looks like I won't be getting the gauge for a few more days. But in the mean time I will try to look at all of my wiring..

Also, I checked my front (round) marker/turn lights and their are two wires.. I spliced the red wire into the front park wires and then the other wire (black) is spliced into the side marker socket which turns into a dark blue wire and goes to the other front round marker/turn light. If I didn't confuse you... Does this sound right?
(Unfortunately the wiring harness I bought (EZ wiring) is anything but that... It DON'T include any wiring diagrams for a CJ7 jeep and vague directions.. Now for someone who has done this before, it would probably be easy.. But not for a newb..

If you have any thoughts on anything I've just stated, I'd love to hear them..:dunno:

running/tail lights should be on one circuit and brake/ turn should be on another circuit.
What color was your jeep when you got it? The paint color looks like the current color of mine.
As for name's I call mine Eugene. It's probally clique' but I like it.

The cj was originally blue metallic.. However, when I bought it, it was Black, blue and flat green.. :barf:


Cool. If you post pics of your jeep... Let me know. I'd like to check it out too. :drool:

alright Laura. I have uploaded a pic of Eugene in the gallery under johnnyreb. It was right before I took into town for tires. I tried to attach it to here, but it wouldn't let me.
