Alright i need help on how to re wire the back up lights on my 02 1500. I have back up lights under my bumper already wired to activate when the truck's in reverse. I want to put a switch into my dash so i can activate them at any time as well as when i put it in reverse. How do i do that?
thanks

 

Its a little small, but here's a diagram of what you should need. You'll need to isolate the auxillary lights from the backing lights circuit with a diode, but other than that, it's pretty straight forward.

 

or to make it easier just have them on a switch.

 

You do realize that the diagram uses a switch right? It's really not that difficult an installation, and you can't just "have them on a switch" if you want to be able to turn on just your auxillary lights or have them automatically engage when the vehicle goes into reverse. I do this for a living, so believe me when I say that this way will work flawlessly if installed properly.

 

not saying it wont work.

 

thanks guys.
the lights are already wired to go automatically in reverse i wanted to add an auxillary switch.
