Which wire did u connect them to ?
did u run all the way up to the battery for power and use a backup lamp as the switch trigger ?
or just splice into the backup lamp ?

I got the wiring from another Powerstroke owner to where he tied into the power from the reverse light circuit off the tranny and constant hot off the battery.
Using a single throw/double pole switch it'll operate in 3 ways;
1-Factory reverse lights on
2-Factory reverse lights on plus Auxiliary lights on
3-All Lights off
I forget which Auxiliary light package you have on your Excursion there John?

I to have been looking into doing this.
PIAA makes a 1500 set of back up lights that look nice. They also now have a very compact rear foglight that uses LEDS. I am going to look into those as they contain as many as 10 LEDs, but since they are LEDs, you could probably just jump from the back-up light wiring...maybe even from the trailer plug. LEDs use very little power.
I just have to make sure that they would be bright enough. If memory serves me the PIAA # is19154. |
