As you can see from the above picture my jeep obviously has driving/fog lights. How the hell do I turn them on? I can't find a switch. They don't come on with the headlights, but even if they did, shouldn't there be a switch somewhere incase I don't want them on?

I'm not sure if yours are like the KK or not... but on mine you pull on the end of the stick where you turn the lights on.

That was it.

I thought was pretty sure I was missing it. I figured they could just come on with the headlights and be broken, but what if I didn't want them on? Knew there was a switch somewhere.

Thanks for the help

I think it is the law in most states, maybe all that you cannot have them on with the Highbeams. Plus as you pointed out it just makes sense.

Yeah, you just pull out and twist it one position for fogs, another for fogs and low beams. I can't use the high beams either with fogs, but on JKJ there's a how to on re wiring it... :twisted:

Please forgive me, as I don't mean to offend of imply anything, and since I don't have fogs in my '06 KJ it doesn't matter to me, but...doesn't the owners manual not tell you how to do this?

Not sure if this is the case here or not, but not all used cars come with an owners manual. I've had some that didn't.

Talk about feeling stoopiid, I lost my owners manual. I knew I had it but could not find it. I looked all over the place for the darn thing. Then I found it right where I left it in its' own little parking place right above the glove box and below the dash handle. I just could not see it from my seat for the handle.

Don't beat yourself up because of this, the same thing happened to me and a lot of other folks too. I suppose that was the only place they could put it since the glove box is so small.

Same for me two years ago,so dont be hard on yourself,this is just funny,i am a mechanic,one of my friend is a mechanic to,we were both searching for that switch,while my wife was making fun of us,but in the end we had a good laugh! :-)r

And the funny fact is that i have all the owner manuals in the glove box,but like everybody,i dont read it hahaha,lesson learned here hahaha!

I heard that some people struggled to find their owners manual as well. Maybe he couldnt find that either. Thanks for the good laugh, I needed one, glad you found it though! :SOMBRERO:
