I have searched for aux. back up lights. What wire did you, who have added back up lights, use to trigger the relay. I'm having a tough time deciding what wire to use. Thanks.

 

I just used the wire @ 7 pin trailer jack. I used some cheapo wal-mart lights, alot better now

 

I think it's purple, but don't quote me.

 

I always wire my lights on a seperate circuit so I can use them in Park and Neutral as well.

Also works for tailgaters as well.

 

Please. Can someone elaborate more about "How-to" do this..??

 

If you can follow this diagam, it's really simple. Just hit the switch when you want them on.

 

what kind of relay is that? can i get it at radio shack?

 

that is just a plain ol relay. most automotive relays have 5 pins on them. if you get one with 2 pins marked 87 and not 87 & 87a, then it is just like that above relay but with 2x outlet normally open terminals. if you get an 87/87a, one terminal is normally open [NO] and one set is normally closed [NC] in that type, you would just use the NO terminal and wire like above [and stick a blank covered 1/4" female blade on the NC pin]
