Cheap back up lights/work lights

[rallymachine]

So I finally installed some back up lights for plowing my road and drive way. Parts for build, I used napa par 36 4" work lights $12.50 each. Fog light relay harness kit with switch $26. Four feet of wire loom. Two butt connectors. I think they work great. No volt meter to test load yet.

Looks good. Did you wire them to come on when in reverse?

 

[rallymachine]

Not yet. I'm looking into that next.

You can tap the gear shift sensor wires near the right rear tire. There you will find a wire that will GROUND when in reverse. You could use that for a relay.
I'll try to get pictures tomorrow or Tuesday of the location.

Questions : (1)What gauge wire? (2) relay part number?

@Hondasxs, did you ever find the wire to tap into? I'm interested in tapping my rear LEDs into it.

Not the thread I was thinking of.. but should work for you.

Automatic backup light installation.
