Hi all been a long time, but was wondering if anybody has used a rear windsheild wiper switch as a aux light switch. I know its a double function switch but just want to know if anybody has a wiring diagram or even words of advice! thanks yall!

You only want your lights to work when your rear windsheild wiper comes on?

There are several places to steal 12v from under the dash or even right from the battery.

I would run one wire to a relay and then to the lights.

Why would you run some lights on one function and others on the other function? I would want them all on at once.

That's how mine is set up using a Aurora license bracket. I didn't have a rear wiper but had the wiring so used that and can't be happier with the extra bright lights I have.
