LED headlights?
Got some $50 LED headlights from Amazon that don't work as advertised. Supposed to plug in without any modification but the common connector on my 3M is positive (+), hi and lo tabs are negative (-). Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs only allow current to flow in one direction. The LED bulbs I bought and I'll I've found are backwards--the common tab is negative & the hi and lo tabs are positive. Since the lights are sealed rewiring them's not an option. I could add two more relays but that's a lot of work just to add new opportunities for failure down the road. There are dozens of vendors of sealed beam LED bulbs--anybody found one that works without chopping up perfectly good factory wiring?

Buy a headlight adapter kit with relays. They are cheap and you can swap the polarities in the kit without butchering the factory wiring harness. The added bonus is it will take the strain off the factory harness and direct power it off the battery -

These are the ones I bought for my Power Ram:

But I see that you have a Mighty Max, which I think uses two lights instead of four (2 4x6 lights?). If I remember correctly, this company sells two light kits and has some pretty good info on how to make them work. The ones I bought came with a plug to assist in setting up the wiring the correct way for vehicles that are not plug and play.
I do have to say that these lights have hardly any focus to them, more of a spray and pray for lighting. But they work for my needs, and they are BRIGHT! If I were you, I would look into something that works with a Jeep Cherokee (XJ) as they have nicer lights that focus better.
