im workin on rewiring my extra reverse lights into auto through a relay but i still want to be able to have them on when in park. can i use a on/off/on SPDT rocker switch like this,
power from reverse-----one side
power to relay----------center
power from battery-----other side

or do i need a different switch

thanks aaron

 

I've been looking at this and im sure it will work . With the switch in the up position everytime your reverse lights are on the aux. lights will be on . With the switch in the down position . Power from your battery will also close the contacts on your relay . In turn turning your lights on . Sounds like a good set up. I like the way you think . Anyone could just throw in a single pole toggle switch . Your way is much better . Lets us know how it turns out.

 

Here is a diagram for you.

Thanks for info and diagram!!
ive found the reverse light wire from a picture on here. but how do i get the kick plate by the hood latch off? and where can i find a park light wire on the inside? or what color would it be?
im goin friday to get the relay and switch but im gonna get the wiring done before.

The parking light wire comes from the main light switch and is a Brown wire.

I would get one from an auto parts store.

 

just finishing mine up... did it the same way... just need to figure out how to wire the switch so it lights up when in the "on" positions. i could not have done it with out SUBFORD's guidance thanks!
