Instructions to install for a Jeep Cherokee XJ or Comanche MJ:
-Remove grille, headlight bezels, and headlamp bulbs. Disconnect battery - and + terminals.
-Feed harnesses from the passenger side starting between the battery and the back of the headlamp housing,over to the driver side.
-Connect relays to new harness.
-Plug the driver side bulb into the new harness.
-Attach the new harness's ground wire under one of the small bolts on the radiator support after scraping the paint off under it to ensure a good connection.
-Attach the harness to the existing harness conduit behind the grille working toward the passenger side.
-Plug the new harness plug into passenger headlamp. Note the original driver side headlight plug will be free and not used; cover with electrical tape.
-Attach the ground for the passenger side just like you did the driver side under a radiator support bolt.
-Attach relays with provided bracket on the passenger side inner fender in a fashion where water will not get in to them.
-Connect power wires to positive battery terminal.
-Reconnect + and - terminals to battery.
The install takes approximately 30 minutes.
3 MONTH FOLLOW-UP:
After three months the harness is still working perfectly. No blown fuses, no blown relays, no blown bulbs, no letting the smoke out of the wires.
Please take note: when preparing your grounds, remove all paint/dirt from the body where you intend to attach the ground wire... a screwdriver and/or a little work with some 60 grit sandpaper will do the trick. Dielectric grease is also suggested to maintain long term continuity and fight corrosion/rust.
If being used on a 97+ Jeep Cherokee with factory fog lights, you will run into an issue where once you turn your high beams on, and then off again, your high and low beams are stuck on causing 115W running through. There are several ways and one correct way to solve this. I personally just removed the fog light relay since my fog lights are no longer on my Jeep anyway and this solved the issue.
Oh yeah, so the right way to do it... Cut the 20g Red Fog Lamp Relay #1 ground/trigger wire at the back of the driver's side headlight plug. Extend this wire using your preferred method so that it is long enough to reach your new aftermarket high beam relay. Splice it into the 87 pin (output) of your new high beam relay. If you have two 87's (which is ideal), either one is OK. Do not however use 87a if your relay has it!

100% plug in, no cutting or connecting unless you want to shorten it to fit better. I didn’t
But wow! What a difference in light!
