installed extra light for reverse... and sorted cables
as i have light coming to my bed cap, plus the brake light on top, and now the fog lights for reverse, i used some time today to install these:
cables now sorted under the bedrug... and switched... so i can turn on/off all the non oem installation.... and now is also easier to check in case of any malfunction... the relay is for the reverse fog lights... i used the reverse light as switch for those:
and here is how the lights look installed:
i used the $33 Hella 1450 Optilux light, and removed the black tip that comes to cover the light... im happy with the result.

there are wired to OEM reverse light... that is why im using a relay... the OEM reverse light triggers them, so they activate, but they pull the power from the battery instead of the reverse lights.
i have a master switch for that cable inside the cabin coming from the battery, in that way , i can control when they are on / off as well.

Oooh, ok, good. That's how I wired mine too. I thought you just had them to a switch since one pic had your OEM reverse lights on w/o the AUXs on. Lookin good my friend. I like that bed cap too.
