Default Rear fog lights

i found 2 cheap fog lights that i want to use under my rear bumper. they used to be mounted in the rear windshield of a dodge dart to **** off tailgaters. Anyways, i want to know how to wire these bad boys up.

Are you wiring them for reverse lights, or just to **** people off? Cause thats illegal lol.

There is more then one way to wire them. One method is to wire them like regular lights with a switch and relay, or you can splice them into you're existing reverse light wire that way.

i need them for night time mudding and whatnot. i can't see anything because of the cab light, i'm virtually blind at night when reversing in most situations. any guides you can refer me to? thanks for the reply

If its for off roading, then you can hook them up with a switch/relay system.

Here is the diagram I use whenever wiring lights. Most of this all comes in a kit.

He shouldn't be tapping into any, he should be adding one.

You can buy kits with all the wires, switch and relay in it to hook up you're lights. You would just have to buy some extra wire to make it reach the back and some crimps to attach the wire ends together. The diagrams that come with the kits will be color coded, so it will be easy to follow. You tube also has some instructional videos on wiring and fog light installation.
