Using reverse lights for trailer hook up.
Is there any way to wire up a switch to my reverse lights so I can turn them on when hooking up a trailer or whatever else?
I just need to locate the wire that goes to those lights I guess, I'm hoping I can tap a switch into the wire and it will be as simple as that?
My NSS is shot so my reverse lights don't come on anyway but I'm thinking a switch will bypass that.........hopefully.

I would say there going to be, maybe not as a replacement for reverse lights, but for hooking up a trailer i think they would do great.
Don't know if you would want to but could you install inside the hatch, pointing down when hatch is open with a switch nearby?
Could come in handy when looking for things in the back.

Thanks Wiggles, I'll try them, I'll post pics when I'm done.
Does anyone know if there's a pre-drilled hole in the rear floor of an XJ to run trailer light wires or I need to drill my self?
