If the CRD is like the petrol there is a nice big hole on the passenger side firewall up the top with a big rubber gromet in it. Worked great for my KC spotties

Even better solution..get the CRD Cherokee Renegade and just replace the factory fog lights with your favourite set.......wires are all set up as is the switch!!

Actually, technically, couldn't you wire the Relay up to come on with the factory fog lights?

Or wire it to the circuit which looks after that stupid "Rear Fog Light"

There's an idea!

The arb bar should have two standoff brackets for the spotties, i've installed a few on different cars if your not full bottle on wiring buy the loom. Ipf's come with them lightforce sell em seprately you can also get em on ebay. To tap into the headlight wiring you can also remove the horn and access the wiring behind the light without pulling it out, yes its tight and crowded but do-able

the only problem with wireing to the fog lights is they will come on and off with the switch not your high beam and to change it would take ages to chase all the wires and swap them across i run both i have the fogs still working and spotties wired to the hi/lo beam
