Default Reverse Light Switches

I know there are a lot of threads on the reverse lights, but wanted to know if anyone has ever thought to use http://www.otrattw.com/proddetail.php?prod=VVPZCBU-100

Great looking switches in my opinion... going to be installing these for my backup lights soon...

They look a little big, some members choose simple rocker switches (small-medium) for the low profile look. I went with some smaller rockers so that I could add more later for my other lights.
Should be easy to find at night and look pretty good post up some pics when your done.
What are you running for AUX reverse lights?

I've been wondering the same. I recently came across similar switches on Amazon (search for "AOB"). When it comes time to install some extra backup lights and light bar, I will be using these.

I would love to hear about your experience, or from anyone else that has used something similar.

Also one word of caution is some of these light set ups come with install kits with switches already included.. although you could switch it out very easily

I am going to be using these Navigator fog lights (as i don't need much light) to start mounted under the bed like in other posts) http://compare.ebay.com/like/2007232...Types&var=sbar

I haven't settled on the switch and a buddies audio shop is installing everything also with a switch, but I want On - OFF - ON (on reverse only, off all together, on all the time) so basically a 3 way switch which there are limited options for. In the 2011 150 XLT there is no real "panels" that you could pop anything in so talking to them tonight to find a spot, and then might order the other switches... just love the fact that you could get the icons etched in them.

Good find!! Lets see one for the air copresser one to select either train horn or regular one for back-up cammera on- one for winch one for ejector seat? Wow this truck will have more wires than the phone company.
