F150 Puddle Light with Reverse Automatically
Does anyone know how to make the puddle lights automatically come on when I put my truck in reverse either with forscan or a wiring harness? This feature would be very helpful for me because I have to back into my long and narrow driveway that is dark. Having it turn on automatically would make things easier. I know i can use the button manually, but i'd prefer it to be automatic.
You may not like this answer but if you mount two good lights under the rear bumper and wire them to the center pin of the Trailer socket, they will light up in reverse and give you all the light you need both side looking in the mirrors and the dash screen.
Harbor Freight has them for less than $30 each.
Don't need any more wiring than local at the lights and to the Trailer socket.
The Socket comes out from behind the bumper and select the wire to tap onto.
You will be able to see 100' back.
Good luck.

Another thing to help with the reverse camera, take some electrical tape to the top half of your license plate lights, camera works much better.
