I want to power a set of backup lights that are on when my truck goes into reverse, and by the switch while in park. Is that possible with this?

Do they make this in 4 pin. On/off/auto? Looking to mount reverse lights that come on with factory lights but also have the option to have them not come on in reverse and switch on when every I want as an aux. Or does anyone have the recomendation on how to add a wire to this harness to make that work? Ridgid makes a harness for this but its almost $60 bucks. I already have a 4 pin switch.

Yes, you would need to run an additional wire split off of the white 12v signal wire going to the relay (the wire that's attached to the center post of the switch) to the reverse lights hot wire. Then when reverse lights are on, relay will get 12v signal power and turn on. and when in park, the switch will turn them on as it typically would. and when in drive you've got some killer BACK OFF tailgater lights ;)

It depends what power source it is hooked up to. If the power source is hooked to the backup light plus and minus wires, then it will work with reverse gear. If the power source is from the battery or acc key it will work when the key is turned on or all the time if it is hooked only to the battery. I hope this helps. Harry

Mount the unit under the rear of the vehicle, making sure that the frame of the unit is electrically connected to the frame of the vehicle. Connect the Main wire to the back-up light wire with a squeeze type T-connector. When you shift to reverse, the unit will operate. You have to connect the unit to the back-up lights and a chassis ground for the unit to know when you are in reverse. The unit is activated by the power fed to the back-up lights.

you can hook it up either way,I put it on a toggle switch.You can wire them to the backup lights also.

Check your connection to the reverse lamp circuit with a test light or volt meter and make sure your monitor is is connected to constant power it will turn on automatically when in reverse and off when in park or any other gear

No, I would not suggest it for backup lights. I would suggest our L121 or our Exh04 slave.

No. Once the camera has power it turns on. I tied the wire into my back up light so it would only come on when i'm in reverse.

When you are installing you will run one lead to ground and the other you will splice into the hot lead that goes into the backup lights, that way the alert will only sound when you put your vehicle into reverse. When you install the wiring it is best to use red wire going from the positive pole on alarm and black

No.Per the designed setup the camera is only powered when the reverse rear lights are on. You could setup an alternate power source, always on, which would keep the camera and system on.

The plug-and-play works for brake lights and turn signals only. There is a white hardwire reverse light hook up that you need to run it to your taillight if you want to have reverse lights work. This is not something that is plug-and-play.

Yea man, I've bought 3 sets for my trucks and my dad's truck. Now I'm starting to buy them for reverse back up lights, they work awesome for backing up ! You're gonna love them and find a use for them no matter what, yes they're are pricy but I've gotten more compliments and more questions about these lights then the $3,000 suspension my truck sits on! �

No. If you dont put in load resistors the lights might blink fast, and a fault code might occur (or engine light). My car (an E36), did not originally have a "switch back" light function on the corner lights, so I had to wire in relays as well.

The light has two wires you can connect to any 12v vehicle power supply. You can wire it independently with a switch or do what I did and splice it into the reverse lights. I wanted more lighting for backing up on my camper van.

You have to hook it up to your backup light if you want it go on automactically when you shift into reverse. You can hook it up to radio power and just hit the camera icon whenever you need it also. I personal like it hooked up to the backup lights

As long as you wire the lights to two different wires/reverse lights then the same gauge as your truck is fine. Since they are LED they don't draw too much. I went with 10 gauge so I could add other lights in the future.

The camera power should be coming from the back up lights and that should be energized when car is placed in reverse with key on. Display has a couple of input selections like av1 and av2 so switch them with the remote or button on display.

yes. I installed it at the back. Power supply connected to the reverse light.
