My moms '95 cherokee sport had the lighted ring around the ignition, but my 97 didn't. Stupid cost cutting techniques.
Oh well, I never found it that useful anyway. Still would like to see pics tho.

Neat little thing to add to your KJ. First find a Halo Light. Found in the yards or on the boards. When getting the halo light you'll need the Halo Light, plug & enough wire to get down to the courtesy lights wires behind the knee panel about 2 1/2 feet, 2 18/22 run & taps & Elec tape. The factory light comes in green yuk...Changed the blub out to Blue Led......You may do any color you want. Remove the steering wheel cover phillips or 20 torx. 2 screws on the bottom. See the ugly black plastic cover on the ignition...remove the cover, the clips are fun....If you have a SKIM MOD be careful with the ring around the ignition, you must move this out of the place. Put the Halo Light in place & replace SKIM if removed. Tape the halo wire to the harness running down the column. The courtesy light wires run behind the knee panel on the top Tap the black wire in to the ground wire Tap the colored wire into the power wire Tape up the taps When you open the door the Halo light comes on with the courtesy lights...Stays on till it times out or you start the KJ Neat little thing not put on KJ's......Looks nice at night....Chris |

It's not that we don't believe you, we just wanna see pics. And what's a "halo light". Is this something that you homebuilt or is it a manufactured unit? |

If we had an electrical section people can find info like this easily. |

I'm guessing by "halo" he's simply talking about a lighted ring around the key slot. I know I've seen it on other Chrysler and import vehicles. My wifes Honda CR-V has one. |

Halo Light is what Chrysler calls it...never was a option on the KJ....This is a cheap little neat thing to add.....look around the ignition the black ring is what it replaces.....Chris...Working on some pics. The pictures we be off the Halo installed... |
