Question:

My girlfriend recently got a used Jeep Wrangler and it has these lights on an aftermarket bumper and it appears theyve never been wired they just sit there with the one wire running out the back of the light. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction to get instructions to install this light properly. Is it too bright for her to use with her highbeams? If so where can I buy the switch because its not with the jeep thank you in Advance

You'll need to first find the power and ground wire and then wire them to your battery through a switch as needed.

If the lights are the part # 507-12 that you referenced then this grounds through the mounting hardware so all you need is to run a power wire to the single wire through a switch like # D16740. You'd want some 12 gauge wire like part # 12-1-1 (sold by the foot), for the wiring.
