I just installed my Baja Designs reverse lights and want to be able to use the lights for loading the bed. When I turn on the accessory (engine off), engage the parking brake, and put the truck in reverse, a chime goes off continuously. It is extremely annoying. Any ideas *********** the chime without just wiring strait to the accessory switches?

I would wire the lights into an upfitter switch and the backup lights using a 2 into 1 diode or 2 diodes . Then you can just flip the upfitter switch to use them.
Any chance I could get a recommended part number and place to purchase a 2 to 1, 12 volt diode? I like the idea!

So I id a quick search and can't find the ones I have. I used to work at a place that built electronic encolsures and got them there 10+ years ago. Doesn't really matter though as you can use 2 diodes instead.
Here is a link to a package of 2 for $1.00. https://www.radioshack.com/products/200a-barrel-diodes
Wire them like this. Just make sure you pick the correct up-fitter based on your backup lights. The factory reverse light circuit should support some basic Aux reverse lights without involving a relay.

No Problem. It is awesome how easy the upfitter switches makes stuff like this.
