[QUOTE="pat'sRAPTOR, post: 515074, member: 2017"] Depending on the size of the fuse for the back up lights you should be able to splice the lights into the wire for the backup lights then splice it off to go to the switch. When they're spliced into the backup lights its like having them on a switch cause only power goes to the lights when it's in revers. Try hooking them up to the back up lights first to make sure the fuse can handle the amps drawn than go from there.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]The diagram is showing you splicing then to the brake lights which isn't what you're trying to achieve here you'll have to take the tail light off and follow the wire for the reverse lights and splice into it for power then run the ground wire either to the frame or another grounding wire to splice into.
