I am installing back up lights on 2004 dodge ram 1500

install instructions id back up light wire as purple w black stripe

not finding that colorw/stripe

what color back up lights wire to 7 pin plug????

 

NOT SURE, BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO IS POP OUT THE TAIL LIGHT HOUSING AND CHECK TO SEE WHICH OF THE WIRES TO THE REVERSE BULB HAS POWER WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN REVERSE. OR CHECK TO SEE WHICH WIRE IS A GROUND, AND THE OTHER WIRE IS YOUR POWER .

 

the plan of attack i have is to put them on a sep. switch...this allows you to turn them on w/o having to put your vehicle in reverse...My boss has done the same thing because he plows and it helps. just an opinion...plus you dnt ahve to worry aobut finding the right wires...

 

I PLOW AS WELL & DID THE THE SAME THING. I HAVE A SANDER WITH QUICK CONNECT EVERYTHING. ALLL IN CAB CONTROLS. I JUST RAN A FUSED POWER TO A SWITCH. MINE ARE MOUNTED TO MY SANDER SO THEY COME OFF FOR THE SUMMER.

 

You've probably found it by now, but I just did mine and I thought the wire was purple with a black stripe. That's the wire I used for the relay control. It's only about a 16gage wire so I didn't trust it to carry the load from 2 55w lights.
