'05 Grand Cherokee Toad - Michael Brody - 06-19-2005 12:38 A friend who is not online asked me to find out how people have wired '05 Grand Cherokee toads for lights. He was told that the way the wires are loomed, it was difficult to find a place to insert diodes. Also told that there isn't enough room to drill independent bulb receivers. Your comments would be appreciated. Mike '97 BMC 40' Michael Brody, CEO Capital Progress, Inc. P.O.

Both of them, latest being 2004, had available empty compartments in the rear bulb housing to add independent lighting (aimed at the emergency vehicle market per the literature). The Blue Ox kit is inexpensive, quick to install and doesn't involve diodes or touching the existing vehicle wiring looms. The biggest chore is to drill out a 1" hole to insert the bulb assembly. I would be surprised if the 2005 did not have a similar setup. Based on all the expensive electronics on the Grand Cherokee, I did not want to mess with the wiring looms and have warranty issues if something ever went wrong.

In the catalog it said to the use the kit on the 05 model. I check with my local installer and he said Blue Ox said it would work on the 05 model. The number to Blue Ox is 1-888-425-5382.
