[QUOTE="crash457, post: 1173942, member: 20759"] If you want the lights on with just the switch or just with the reverse lights, then no relay is needed, but that wasn't what was asked. If you want to power the lights with two different sources (come on with reverse and be able to active with the switch), as I explained quite clearly, then a relay is the proper way to do it. The only reason to want both is to use them for reverse lights when in reverse and also be able to run them as dust lights. If you don't want the factory reverse lights on when you use the stitch, you need a relay. Call it arguing if you want, but the relay method is how a proper circuit is designed to work. Whether other ways work or not does not discredit that. Show me any available electronics (not some homemade shit either) that provide two power sources to the same device without the use of a relay, and I'll gladly announce that I am wrong. Until then, stop trying to discredit the right way to do something. I could understand if what I was saying was going to be expensive or difficult to do, but doing it the right way is cheap and simple. I don't' understand why so people are so opposed to it. If you want to half-ass shit together, go for it. I can't stop you, but stop trying to convince others that it's the proper way. [/QUOTE]
