The relay should be powered directly from the battery w/30 amp fuse. I would run a ground interrupt switch for the relay ground. This will allow you to turn them off when in town. Or, you could mount them to the bumper, running a trigger from the back-up lights to a relay, and forget about an interrupt switch. Then mount another light on your roll bar for a utility light. More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else. '90 X-cab 4.88's 33 BFG AT's, rr ARB, Headers, Ignition upgrade, cold air induction.

That works quite well. Re: Aftermarket reverse lights [Re: foxtrapper] #525684 11/17/04 03:48 AM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 12,153 N. California.

I burned out a reverse light switch on a VW when I stuck in a set of 55W halogen backup lights. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Aftermarket reverse lights [Re: foxtrapper] #525685 11/17/04 06:52 AM Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 402 Folsom, CA W whitetoy Mudrunner Quote You can also simply put in a more intense bulb in the existing reverse light. That works quite well. This is what I did many years ago. Still going strong. I guess the Toyota guys over-engineered the backup light switch along with everything else. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Rick 1984 4Runner Page 2 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  4Crawler, 4x4Wire, kewlynx  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts
