Need better reverse lights

I am wanting to add some sort of auxillary reverse lights and would like someone to help me out in the easiest way to set up the lights. I would also like to be able to control them with a switch from the cab in case I need them for work lights, has anyone ever wired them to run off the cargo light switch?

This is a great write up on lights follow the directions and you'll be gtg.

I'm doing mine this weekend, but a little different. I have a shell on my truck and I'm running a 10 gauge wire from the battery fused back to a box I'm installing in the bed. I made a breaker panel in the box and switched the reverse lights there. In addition they will turn on when the truck goes into reverse. It's in the wirering diagram how to do it. In my box I also have switches for the interior camper lights and exterior camper lights and a 12vdc power outlet.

Good luck

those tractor lights pull too much amps, so you need to wire them up to a 12v supply with the stock backup lights as the initiator.
