Hello all.....I am needing more light at the back of my truck, and need it to be operated by a switch. I already have 2 55 watt Hellas mounted on the front of my roof rack; can I just add a single (low wattage) light to the back and wire it to the existing lights? My current wiring is what came with the Hellas. Will this overload that set up and switch?
Any recomendations on a light to use? I need it as a work light and reverse light.

 

just run another relay and switch that's separate from the existing wiring loom. it'll be easier to work with that way (i think)

 

Tractor lamps put out good light.

I concur.

 

Obviously I didnt do to hot in electrical classes.... but I think you have to worry about the load from the other lights dont you?

 

Adding an aditional light MIGHT blow the reverse light fuse, or it might not. Only one way to find out.

I would wire a new relay and tap into the existing reverse light to turn on the relay. Dont forget to put a fuse in the power lead. Thats how mine works.
