Might seem silly, but Reverse Spot light question?

Post by devilzdriver »

So, my 92 SS is built as a Rallyx Car / Spearfishing rig lol. I go out into the bush quite a bit and reversing in pitchblack its nice to see some things, does anyone know how i would mount, and activate a fog or "spotlight" to turn on? I am not too electrical savvy but any assistance would be awesome guys. Thanks

I'd hit up a 4x4 shop and ask them about a foglight relay kit, and see what they recommend for backup lights. I see tons of lifted trucks with those around here.

Good idea, i was thinking directly tapping the wire, then was thinking thats probably not a good idea i assume alot of draw from the wires....

You would need to likely run a relay which taps off the reverse lights, then triggers the relay which has a larger wire run from the battery to power the reverse/spot lights.
