Wiring in new reverse lights
I got some 5" lights from the Harbor Freight for $5 bucks each and the just have your simple + and - wires and I want to hook them up so the come on when I'm in reverse! Has anyone done this or have the wiring diagrams for the stock reverse lamps? thanks

if the draw of the added lights is high and the stock wiring can't take it you run the risk of melting stock wiring, connectors and switches. Plus you just added lights to be brighter, with a relay setup they will give the most they can with better wiring and more available juice when you don't have a bunch of connectors and switches in the way like the stock system.
