Auxiliary LED Reverse Lights (Integrated Rear Bumper)

[Rollcast]

Thanks. I was confused that maybe there was some secret, special instructions in that little link.

Just ordered

ordered with PnP. Will sort out possible AUX option when arrives (and less snow on the ground to work around).

I did not order the harness.
So my write up will be how I install to the back up signal and Aux switch.

And you bought the exact harness you linked on Amazon?

Yes I did.

Just ordered with harness. Will probably also add to switch 4 or try to figure out how to integrate red fog lights with manual switch.

I am not even a little bit versed in electrical work. Can you have these lights (running and back-up) operate in tandem with the provided tail and back-up lights without using an aux switch?

Yes, these are just backup lights and red reflectors that mount in the bumper where the red reflectors currently sit. If you buy the extra harness, it is an easy connection. The existing and new backup lights will all come on when put in reverse. Unless you also want to be able to manually turn on the new backup lights, when not in reverse, nothing additional needs done.

Just ordered! Been looking at this for awhile so finally pulled the trigger

Did they list anywhere what gauge wire to use on these? Want to make sure I have everything ready for an aux switch install.

If you are running 2 lines (LH/RH) up to the AUX switch then 18AWG is fine. If you are tying the 2 lights together and running one cable to the AUX switch use a min of 16AWG.

Is there any benefit to doing it one way or the other?

That seems pretty big. How many amps do these thing pull?

Not really, just a cleaner install. 2 less wires running from the back to front. I would think wiring them in together at the back would be better so you aren’t joining a total of 6 wires at the front.

I can do a write up for it when I receive my lights.
But will be using this diode for a multi input to single output to the lights.

15 amp diode should be more than enough for the two aux. LED lights.

Awesome. thank you 16AWG it is to limit the amount I need to run.
