Oh that's perfect. Thanks. I use the white LEDs and tint the switch rockers the colors I want. I bookmarked that for later. I want and have independent lights. My lower light is controlled by my dash lights. The upper light comes on when the switch is activated. That's the way I like it. You could jump the two LED ground pins together. You could also jump the top LED positive to the lower LED positive pin and make them dependent if that is what you prefer.

Help - aux lights on with switch and reverse = good; apply brakes and they come on to
Could use some wiring help guys. I have the ace engineering bumper and the lifetime leds in the bumper. Want them to come on when in reverse AND switched to the Contura Rocker switch to be able to turn on manually (unloading camping gear at night).
Wired the rocker switch like i've seen and with the accessory lead from pin 3 into 85 on the relay. So switch lights work. To get into reverse I pulled the left rear light found the white/green and black ground going to the reverse bulb and tapped both. Ran the wire tap from white/green also into pin 85 on the relay and wire tapped the black ground on the reverse and ran to pin 86 of the relay.
It works. flip switch = light on. Put in reverse = lights on.
Hit the brakes and the damn lights lit up blinding everyone behind me last night driving home = WTF?
Any ideas? I'm wondering is it the grounding?

You need to change your font color. I have a black background and can't see it well.
Disconnect the ground wire from the tail light to the relay. Pin 86 should go directly to ground. You just need the positive tap from the reverse wire. If you're using an on/off/on switch you don't need the diode but otherwise you do.
