Rear lights

I just got done installing these lights on the rear for back-up (reverse) lights. They are $10 tractor flood lights from walmart and I wired them through a DPDT toggle with a relay. One throw has them come on automatically when in reverse, the other throw is manual on. Center is off. I also just put in an aux. fuse box. What do yall think?




and the fusebox

I like them! I should have wired mine up with a DPDT switch like you did. Are they 55W?

Looks like they are even high enough up to avoid damage, cool!

I like your Taco.

Good work,

Thanks guys. Yes they are 55w each so theyre pulling around 9.2 amps, so the toggle I got is a 20A ac/dc toggle and im running it on a 10A fuse (which is fine). they are high enough to clear. if i hit them, ill also hardcore hit my hitch so i'd be in even more trouble. they can swivel when hit too, theyre tight enough to stay in place while driving but loose eonugh to swivel with a good hit.
