Subject:How do I wire up backup lights?
From:Robert Stewart <robertmstewart@MAC.COM>

Hi Everyone,

So I bought a pair of inexpensive Pilot Aux Driving lights to install
on the rear lower bumper as additional backup lights. As I can never
see anything when backing up late at night.

My question is how do I wire them up?

 From what I found on the Samaba I was told the Black/Blue wire
leading into the rubber boot of the rear light assembly is the correct
wire to tap for the backup signal.

Is this outline below correct?

(Backup)Black/Blue wire goes to supplied Green Wire with inline Fuse
This connects to the white wire on the Light Assembly
Black Wire from light Assembly then gets connected to the a body ground?

Is this right?

I want the lights to come and off when I put it into reverse.

Thanks,

Robert
NY
