reverse lights

Recommended Posts

So I had this idea last night. I have some fog lights that I'm not using and would like to put them in in place of the reverse lights. Looking at both of them, they have 2 wires going in, which I assume is the power and the ground. If I just connect the wires from the lights to the wires in the car, that should work right? Could it really be that simple? Thanks for any help.

es it's that simple.

 

The only thing to be careful about is the current needed to run those fog lights. Most fog lights use a relay and large wire to transfer power directly from the battery to the fog lights, controlled by a lower current from a switch.

 

You may need to do the same, using the existing reverse light wire to control a relay that is fed by an appropriate sized wire for the current needed.
