[QUOTE="Reptar, post: 336970, member: 1883"] DPST = double pole, single throw. A normal switch is SPST (single pole single throw). So it has 2 prongs, and it's on or off. A DPST has 3 prongs. The lights go to the middle prong. The reverse light power and the aux power go to the outer 2 prongs. So when it's in 1 position it's powered by the reverse lights, in the other position it's powered by the aux power. If you've gotta cut anyway I say just get the flush mount, they look more OEM style. I'd watch out with amber ones on the rear for use on the street. DOT rules are red only on the rear, and amber on the other sides of the vehicle. Amber can only be for turn signals on the rear. I wouldn't use them as running lights as in white out conditions as it may confuse drivers who can't see much as it is in the white out and they may think its an oncoming vehicle with seeing amber lights instead of red.
