So I'm installing a set of Baja Design squadron lights into my rear bumper. Using them as back up lights/scene lights/trailer loading lights when I'm out doing pit support off road.
I don't want to tie them into the trucks reverse lights as I will need them on at other times when the truck is not in reverse.
So my question is, can I wire the trigger wire for the relay that supplies power to the BD lights to the switch on the lighting switch that controls the auxiliary reverse lights that are mounted in the mirrors? Is it as simple as finding the trigger wire from that switch and tapping into it? Or is there some other way I need to tap into it? My thought is that I could use that to turn them on and if I forgot to turn them off, they will automatically go off when I put the truck in drive.
Or am I SOL and need to provide my own switch to trigger the relay?
Thanks for any help.
