Body Electrical Parts for Jeep CJ7
Turn Signals, Tail Lights & Switches for Safe Visibility on Every Drive (1976–1986).
Why the Body Electrical System in the Jeep CJ7 Develops Weak Points After Decades.
The body electrical system in the Jeep CJ7 provides visibility, safety and comfort while driving – after decades in service, many components show clear signs of aging. Wiper switches and light switches wear out mechanically through frequent use, while headlight bezels and mounting rings corrode or become brittle from weather exposure. Tail lights and turn signal lenses yellow over time, and their sockets and wiring can become loose or brittle from vibration and moisture. Turn signal switches on the steering column wear from constant lever operation, and horn slip rings in the steering wheel wear down, leading to unreliable horn function. Cockpit indicator lights, brake light switches and the wiring harness itself also age over time and can cause malfunctions. Anyone who wants to keep their CJ7 safe and reliable on the road should inspect the body electrical system regularly and replace worn components before lighting or signaling fails.

- Tail Lights & Reverse/Fog Lights: The tail light for US-spec models and the universal reverse light provide good visibility from behind.

American Brand Variety and German Lighting Technology.
Headlight bezels, tail lights and most switches come from Crown Automotive – the dominant manufacturer in this category with American roots. Light and turn signal switches are supplied by Standard Ignition, LED tail lights and turn signal lamps come from Omix, another well-known American brand. Headlight inserts, reverse and fog lights are made by German manufacturer Hella, and the complete wiring harness by Painless Performance.
