Nice work. I gotta get mine done, the stock reverse lights barely light anything up. Any issues with the wiring so close to the exhaust ?

well I didn't think so but a wire tie slipped and the wire did get a touch melted.
I'm going to look fo a different light to go back there because the Wall Mart "fog" lights don't give a broad enough beam. They are GREAT if you want to drive backwards at 35 MPH.

Default Wiring Question
Are you tapping the factory back up lights as a power source or are you using the factory back up lights as the trigger lead on a relay and pulling power from the battery? Thanks.

Twin relays (one for stock and one for the add ons). see this thread:"my relay set-up for future lights "
