I added LED bulbs and when that wasn't enough added LED back up lights under bumper.

It was an easy project. I just grounded them and tied power into reverse positive. Is didn't need them to come on except for reverse.

To piggy back on [MENTION=34347]RES4CUE[/MENTION] here are two threads with very similar endings.
This first one is mine, using Rigid's SRM backup kit:

The second is [MENTION=146349]goneFXcrazy[/MENTION] 's using the slightly larger SRQ backup kit:

SRM = lots of light - 2 LEDs per light
SRQ = TONS of light - 4 LEDs per light
Rigid's kit comes with a loomed, relayed harness with a 3 way switch (ON, OFF, AUTO) and it is pretty easy to install. The most difficult parts are cutting the firewall grommet and installing the switch. The rest is very straight forward.

Always thought that this was a good setup ...
I like this idea also, but I am leaning towards doing something much more simple that will run off of the backup lights, no switch install. Simple low volt LED's.
