Can I use just 1 light?

yep, take your pick - 0, 1 or 2 lights - between pin 87 and ground - basically whenever terminal 87 will get 12v the light will turn on at the same time with the fan for the corresponding speed. If you only want it on low speed for example just connect the light like i said but only on the low speed relay

I found a Taurus fan for $35 on E-bay. It is a two speed.... I hooked it up (low speed) to a manual on / off switch. I had the temp probe hooked up initially and it went bad and I overheated. To fix it I just hardwired it to the battery to get me home.

Was out at Ocatillo Wells last weekend. 70 degrees outside....runnin hard....but it still didn't get hot enough to turn it on......so no need, so far, for the high speed....low should be fine.  I turn it on when my gauge reads 200 degrees. That is what it used to max out at, with the stock engine fan. The temp drops very quickly when I turn it on, and it maintains the temp at arount 180 degrees. 

I love it. Follow Jeffy's write-ups and you can't go wrong.

Actually I don't have enough idea on how to install an electric fan. But thank you for the link you have gave because I found out the exact way ob how to install it. Electric fans can be a less expensive and more Earth-friendly alternative to supplement or even replace air conditioning, provided you use them properly.

i think lauretta07 is talking about a ceiling fan, i don't think she's referring to a 15mpg [on a good day] Jeep as Earth-friendly 

that's a good score on the 2 speed Taurus, they seem to be hard to find lately

for some reason i could not find a good one here when i looked (found a couple but they were both accident damage in front) - that's why i end up with the lincoln one.
