That's how I did mine. BUT, mines were an OEM reverse light item...not aftermarket which may have more power and usually a relay. I mentioned earlier, I did'nt know if you could just wire it up with a relay and tie it into your existing back-up lights...I just tapped into the reverse light wires right behind the tail lights. Real simple.

 

I'd recommend using a relay. the factory wires were not made to handle the additional current flow from adding a pair of aftermarket 55w lamps.

 

Alright, thanks for the replies.
I guess I will check into doing this again in the summer when I have some more free time. If only school didn't take up so much time.....haha

 

Bump to top.............. A buddy of mine in High School built a wild front bumper and used these bright round lights with rubbers seals to put in the front of it for driving lights. Does anyone who lives in the states know of lights that people use when building trailers with the rubbers seals on them and where to get them at? I absolutely HATE tailgaters and would love to be able to flip on some nice bright lights to get them to back off.. plus I hate backing up my runner at night.. can't see Sh$t!

 

Joey, those rubber seal lights you are talking abut are right here.

They are trailer/tractor lights that you see on semi trucks mounted behind the headache racks so they can see their air lines, snow chains, ect at night to get too.

You also see these on tow trucks on the rear a lot.
