Note: On some/most 84 and later CJ's, the turn signal flasher relay is not in the fuse box. The fuse box will have an empty spot for it that is not wired up. The flasher is located in the wiring harness hanging by or behind the parking brake. It should have a yellow input wire and a red output wire.
THANK YOU!!! I was thinking I was going crazy! There was no pin on the right side for the other flasher to plug in. Started to search youtube videos for help. There you came to the rescue! Appreciate your time, effort, and knowledge. This has helped me tremendously! 😊😊😊😊😊
I replaced all the rear bulbs on my CJ with LEDs, no problem. Changed the front ones, no blinky. Found this vid, got those UP 90652 flashers, blinker time! Had to use that polarity revering adapter for both, glad it was there. Thank you!
Thanks. I did the upgrade on my 77 CJ5. Headlights are H4 housing, all markers switched to LEDS. I used the LED Partsman taillights (cut the old harness, soldered and shrink-wrapped to the new lights, drilled the holes and grounded to the housing bolt). My signal relay needed the reverse polarity base. I swapped the hazard relay as well. Grounded them both under a hex bolt on the fuse box. Everything works well.
That is great to hear, thanks for the update, I appreciate it! I have another CJ video planned for this weekend. Conversion from lap belts to three point retractable shoulder belts.
Thanks for your help got all my lights converted to LEDs. Had to do a cleaning of the fuse box ( used lemon juice and salt, letting it soak over night and tightened the connectors on the back ) and a complete wiring check, everything works great now!
I have an 1982 CJ7 so I replaced the headlight with led Halos and the tail lights to led like yours so is It ok If I just replace my park/signals or do I also need to replace my side markers?
You don’t need to replace the side markers. And if you don’t replace the side marks, you may or may not need the electronic flasher. I recommend seeing how to turn signals behave with the stock flasher first.
You’re a big help, thank you For all those with a painless harness, the manual I had told me to wire the parking lights to be off when the headlights come on. For some reason this causes the side markers to be very dim and to not worked at all when the hazards are on. I ended up buying painless’s GM style headlight switch and wiring the parking lights to stay on when the headlights are on, this for some reason caused the side markers lights to always be bright no matter the headlight switch position
This is incredibly detailed and helpful. Thank you! Also-- I love the paint job on your Jeep. Is there a video where I can see the whole body? The paint on mine needs a redo. I would probably use different colors, but I love the pattern that you have.
I have an 84 CJ7, and my flashers were working fine. I had replaced my wiring harness with the painless wiring harness prior to doing the LED upgrade. Figured I could do it exactly as you did, but after replacing all the exterior lights shown in this video, and installing the electronic flasher, now the lights turn on but don't flash. Any thoughts?
Great video, so I followed the links that you gave us and bought all the same bulbs you did and everything works as it should except for one issue. On the driver side when I turn the parking lights on I have no side marker light and the halo lights up Amber and it should be lighting up white like the other side. When I put the incandescent bulb back in everything works as it should of course the parking light is very dim because the old bulb is in. Do you have any idea what the problem could be I’ve traced everything back and I have everything bright I just can’t get the LED to work on the driver side
Interesting. One strange thing is you said the problems go away with the original bulb. I would try moving the LED bulb to the passenger side and see if the problem follows the LED bulb. Also, the halo lights, from my experience, need to be manually spliced into the jeep harness. It’s the owners choice for what to splice into and how you want them to work. It could be that it was unintentionally spliced into the wrong wire, not giving the desired functionality. It might be good to disconnect the halos and first make sure the stock parking light and turn signal functionality is working correctly.
Also, the parking light bulb has two filaments. Another thing to investigate is reversing the polarity of the socket. That doesn’t seem applicable since it works correctly with the stock bulb, but something to be aware of and consider. And the housing needs to be securely screwed to the body with the original shoulder screws to function properly. That is what provides the ground for the lightbulb. There was an instance when mine wasn’t working and it was because the housing wasn’t securely screwed down.

That is correct; the black wire coming out of the electronic flasher must be grounded. I grounding it by screwing it to the firewall. I have added it to my list to make a video showing how to install it! Thanks
Question for ya: Is it necessary to convert everything at once, or can I install the new electronic flashers first, then change to led lights as budget allows?
So, I swapped everything with LED. The LEDs I've used in everything work great... except when the headlights are on. The flashers won't flash. I have the electronic flashers as well. Did you install load resistors for the front turn signal lights as well?
Hi! I have received a couple requests for that video and it is on my list. I will bump it up to the short list. I am pretty far into editing my next video. I’ll plan on doing the flasher video after that one is complete. In the mean time, it plugs in where the stock flasher plugs in and the black wire coming out of the flasher is a ground wire that needs to be grounded. I personally screwed it to the firewall near the fuse box.
I changed all mine out also. 1986 CJ-7, but I get no turn or hazard signals with or without lights being on. Changed flasher to the one that came with taillights from Quadratec. Tried reversing using jumper wires and still nothing. Any advice?
Great video, however at my age 72, the original fuse box is in an awkward position and stooping down is a night mare. The previous owner cut some front and rear light wires for some reason. Where can I go to find a shop that would replace those old “glass” fuses and update my 78 CJ5. Thanks again
That is a good question. It can be difficult to find a place. I would begin my search with a Google search on the Internet, starting by searching for a place familiar with jeeps and CJ‘s. You could also find some good recommendations through jeep specific websites. I highly recommend jeepforum.com. You can search the website for existing questions and answers. If you want to ask a new question, you would need to create an account, which is free to do. As a member of jeepforum.com you will be able to find the answer to pretty much any Jeep question you have.
No problem. And I will be sure to add the information to the video description as well. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to pull the information together until the weekend. I’m currently out of town for the week. Headlights were eBay and taillights were amazon.
I have a question. No that installed the same lights. One blinkers is not working, the marker light is dim. The other signal works and marker light is bright. Can you give some advice on how to fix this. Thanks.
No problem. I will be happy to help if I can. When you say “blinker” and “marker light “ , exactly which lights are you referring to? I assume “blinker” is the round light on the front, and “marker light“ is the amber rectangle on the front fender, but I could be wrong. I just want to make sure I am following correctly.
It's me again. So my halo and parking lights flash with the turn signal when I have the headlights off but when I turn on either the parking lights or headlights, only the halo and side marker lights flash. Any ideas?
I bought the electronic flasher but when I went to plug it into the fuse block, I realized there are no plugs nor wires in the T/S spot of the fuse block. I guess I can't do this then? Or can I just replace the HAZ fuse with the flasher?
@@HowtoandReviewsOfficial It looks like that except I only have the hazard relay but there was no turn signal relay and there are no plugs for a relay to go into. I pulled the fuse box out and there is nothing for the relay to plug into.
I considered it, but no, I didn’t replace the hazard flasher. I have never used them, and figured at worst I could swap them if I need to use the hazards. I will test the hazards with the stock flasher, then with the electronic flasher, and let you know the results.
I took a look at it. I tried my hazards with the stock flasher and they did not work. However, I honestly don’t know if the stock flasher is any good or not. I’ve never used the hazards. I tested the sockets in the fuse box with a multi meter, and it does provide power when I have the hazards button activated. I tried the electronic flasher, and the hazards do work with it installed. Note that the terminals for the hazards flasher are reversed polarity of the terminals for the turn signal flasher. I had to run some jumper wires to test the electronic flasher. So, if you get one for the hazards, make sure to get the reverse polarity base in case your sockets are wired opposite as well.
@@HowtoandReviewsOfficial Thank you for looking into it. I thought they may need the electronic flasher because of the way the flashers work. It is also good to know about the reverse polarity. When I ordered the first electronic flasher, I also ordered the reverse polarity base. However, I did not need the reverse polarity base for the turn signals. I will use it for the hazard flasher.
Good video. Just curious, do your signal indicators on the speedo light up when you turn your headlights on? Due to the floating ground setup, a lot of the front bulbs end up screwing the side markers like you said. I have a YJ with 3157 front bulbs but I can convert it to Older YJ 1157s. Same basic setup as a CJ. Only difference is I don’t want your front signals, I want switchbacks. I guess I’ll just have to try them and see if they work, because there’s really no telling beforehand. It’s sort of up to the design of the bulb internally to see if it’ll let the light circuits ground out through the base when necessary if not.
How-to and Reviews thanks for checking! Do the turn signal indicators light up when you use the turn signal? If so, that would for sure answer what I’m getting at. Thanks for looking into it.
How-to and Reviews perfect, thanks a lot! This tells me how the ones I purchase SHOULD function, and if they don’t then I choose something else, like what you bought.
Thanks for comment! The specific model that I used are Beamnova QP002385. They were an eBay purchase a couple years ago. There are many brands with the same look. You just need 7” round LED headlights for a Jeep. I see them range from $40 and up. Also, these specific headlights come with two extra wires for a halo, which can illuminate white or Amber. I have the white spliced into my parking lights, and the amber spliced into my turn signals. Let me know if you need any more information!
@@HowtoandReviewsOfficial Hey man just got my led tail lights installed now onto the led headlights. They are plug in play other than the extra red and green wires. I'm guessing one goes to the turn signal and the other goes to an power source that turns on and off with the car. Am I correct? Can you show me where you tied yours into?
@@hughesjames10 Awesome! That’s great news. The halo has two color options. One wire is power for an Amber halo, and the other wire is power for a white halo. It’s up to you how you power them. As you suggested, you could connect the power wire for the white halo to a power source that turns on and off with the vehicle, resulting in running lights that are always on when the vehicle is on. I’m pretty sure I personally spliced mine into the parking lights. I know I spliced my amber power into the turn signals. I will double check and plan to post a video in the next couple days.
@@HowtoandReviewsOfficial I will check again. Spoke to LED people and they said that i need the load resistors. Maybe i do. I was hoping i didn't need those.Basically lights flash with headlights off. Lights on, only solid parking lights in front and no side blinker lit at all. I tried reverse polarity base. Same thing. I tried the square flasher from them too. No good. Am i missing something? any other guesses? Thanks
@@chrissheerin1216 I personally didn’t use any load resistors. One suggestion is to look at the turn signals very closely. Maybe they are blinking, but slowly, or with very little change in brightness. That would indicate load resistor issues. I installed my led headlights first, then did the taillights, parking lights, and side markers. I never ran with led signals and stock headlights. So, I am not sure if stock headlights, with led side markers and parking lights, would cause your specific problem. I suspect that it could; the stock headlights draw way more current than the led headlights. I think it’s a possible case, but not sure.
@@HowtoandReviewsOfficial yes i believe they blink. hard to tell but side ones not on at all with headlights on. I will try the load resistors i guess. Hope it works.Any other ideas let me know please. Thanks Chris
The specific LED headlights used in this video are Beamnova QP002385. There are many brands with the same look. You just need 7” round LED headlights for a Jeep.
I have an 81 CJ7 and the rear side light is in the tail light. The suggested Partsam tail doesn't seen to have a side light. I check on Amazon and didn't find an alternative. I did find a replacement tail light from Quadratec, but they are more expensive. Will these work with the set up you described?
That is a good point. The later CJ’s have the rear side markers integrated into the tail lights, not on the body. When mounted on the body, the rear side markers do not flash with the turn signals. They only illuminate with the headlights on. I assume the functionality is the same when they are integrated into the tail lights, but I don’t know for sure. Either way, I would not hesitate to use them. I don’t see any issues. (The major issue when switching to LED is the polarity of the front turn signal bulbs. This is not influenced by the tail lights.) Nothing critical about the Partsam taillights. The Quadratec taillight is definitely a better taillight. When I purchase mine, cost was a driving factor. The Partsam version was roughly $30. The quadratec version was well over $100. So, that’s how I made my choice. Taking cost out of the equation, I would absolutely go with the quadratec. The Partsam required minor body and wiring modifications. The Quadratec is a drop in replacement with no modifications required. I hope that helps!
Note: On some/most 84 and later CJ's, the turn signal flasher relay is not in the fuse box. The fuse box will have an empty spot for it that is not wired up. The flasher is located in the wiring harness hanging by or behind the parking brake. It should have a yellow input wire and a red output wire.

I have an 81 CJ7 and the rear side light is in the tail light. The suggested Partsam tail doesn't seen to have a side light. I check on Amazon and didn't find an alternative. I did find a replacement tail light from Quadratec, but they are more expensive. Will these work with the set up you described?
That is a good point. The later CJ’s have the rear side markers integrated into the tail lights, not on the body. When mounted on the body, the rear side markers do not flash with the turn signals. They only illuminate with the headlights on. I assume the functionality is the same when they are integrated into the tail lights, but I don’t know for sure. Either way, I would not hesitate to use them. I don’t see any issues. (The major issue when switching to LED is the polarity of the front turn signal bulbs. This is not influenced by the tail lights.)
Nothing critical about the Partsam taillights. The Quadratec taillight is definitely a better taillight. When I purchase mine, cost was a driving factor. The Partsam version was roughly $30. The quadratec version was well over $100. So, that’s how I made my choice. Taking cost out of the equation, I would absolutely go with the quadratec. The Partsam required minor body and wiring modifications. The Quadratec is a drop in replacement with no modifications required.
I hope that helps!
