This first one is for the overlanders who want to be able to use the lights when camping. It includes a 3 position switch in the rear that allows them to flick them on whenever they need to. I'm pretty sure this will work as designed.

This next one is for the guys that aren't interested in using a 3 position switch because they use Conturas or regular toggles. It's a dual relay design that will cut the power feed from the reverse circuit when the switch is turned on. This will also turn on the reverse light though but won't backfeed the reverse circuit. I'm wondering if this will cause both reverse lights to turn on or just the one?

Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Edit: In case you don't wish to read through the entire thread, this is the final dual relay version we ended with.

Hey 14sport. Your wiring diagram has been very helpful. I could not find much on a similar project for a enclosed trailer. I am trying to wire a light bar on the back of an enclosed trailer where it turns on from putting the truck in reverse (auto), OFF, and on manually. I thought it needed a SPST relay with a 3 position rocker switch (all mounted inside enclosed trailer). I put the start of a wiring diagram similar to the ones you were making. Could you help me out and try to complete the diagram. The first diagram of your thread has reverse light and auxiliary lights that are different lights. I want to use the light bar to do both. Thanks in advance!!
