Backup light switch help
I'm going to install some Rigid backup lights on my truck. I'm going to use the Rigid wiring harness to do it. As for the interior switch, I want to use a Carling V series SPDT switch with an ON/OFF/ON function as well as being lit. Basically, I want the ability to turn the lights on at any time, turn them completely off, and have an Auto feature where they can come on when the truck is in reverse. Pretty much the way the Rigid harness is designed to work. I'm having a hard time locating a switch that will function like that. Looking for one the has independent LED lights in red or blue. For the wiring gurus on here, is this the switch setup I need?

Well, you didn't really link anything, but I can show you the one I ended up using.

Albeit it's a DPDT, it was the cheapest (best reviewed) one I could find with double LEDs. I use the Red for when I'm running it without being in reverse, Yellow for when I'm in reverse. That way I have a bright reminder to turn it off if I do use it without being in reverse first.
