BTW, the reverse lamp wires are Black w/ Pink Stripe.
Your quote above is exactly how I have mine hooked up, had to bag the relay to protect it from water damage, its hard to find a dry spot back by the bumper, otherwise works perfect.

Thanks JerryK...I spent over 2 years at another Ford Truck site and learned a lot there, plus I have a Helm's wiring diagram that I use for reference when doing my mods.
So, back to being a newb, but I like this place better!
