Wiring up aux. backup lights
Hey All,
I bought a set of Maxxima MWL-05SP Heavy Duty 6 LED lights to hook up under the rear bumper, for better lighting backing up. I don't know if I should wire them for everytime I go in reverse or just hook them up to an aux. switch. Any tips? Also, any tips for wiring these up?
I really appreciate all the help.

Wiring that is pretty straight forward, instead of wiring up two switches you are only using one to do the same thing. Make sure you are using a relay though and just follow the wiring diagram that comes on the package and you should be golden. The only thing you have to remember is what is positive and negative when hooking everything up. I know it's going to add more cost to the project but using wire in multiple colors helps keep what wire does what straight but using common colors for power(red) and ground(black) should aslo be used to avoid confusion.

Well I have never wired anything but my waverunner trailer, so considering this is wiring lights on my truck - Have any other info? Basically run the wires under the bed of the truck up to the engine compartment? If I sound clue less with this, its because I am. Thanks
EDIT - Adding cost by using different color wiring, is not an issue, as long as we're not talking $100's of dollars.
