Reverse lights, searched, but no answer...
So, like a lot of peeps here, i wanna hook up my old fog lights to the rear of my truck. I'd rahter not splice into my taillights, and because I have no tow hitch, i would like to use the tow-light-wires to accomplish this.
So, what wire(on the tow wire group) do i need to take power from? Will this work?
Thanks.

EDIT: I want it just to work when i put my truck into reverse. (I've got a stick) and ive seen the other threads on that, but i would rather wire into the trailer light package, rahter than my own taillights.

Install a 12v relay behind one of the tail lights. Tap (Scotchlok) the power feed to the backup lightbulb. Run the tap to relay terminal 85. Run ground to terminal 86. Run a 30-40 amp fused 12ga or better power feed to relay terminal 30 from front of veh. Connect power feed for Aux lights to terminal 87.
