My 2003 F250 6.0 is an ex Navy truck. It was in service for 195,000 miles and sold to the previous owner. Most equipment was stripped before but it still has a trailer brake control and 2 red colored light in the grill up front. The wiring to the can was cut and no switches remain but there is a bundle of 3 wires under the hood near the drivers side battery. The light s appear to be connected to postive and negative still. I'd like to hook the lights to a switch in the cab. I'm going to buy a small switch or a auxiliary light wiring set they sell. I'd like to use the existing wiring. How should I go about this wiring and how can I route the wires to the dash? I'm thinking of putting a switch on the fuse panel so to not cut up anything. I do know that using these red lights on the road is illegal and I only plan to turn them on off road or when driving on my property. I just think it would be cool if they worked and it would give me a small project. Thanks for any help you can provide

 

I've looked at the lights more-
-Each light has one negative wire leading to the battery closest to it so both light s are connected to there own battery
- Each light has its own positive wire that comes from the light and ends on the drivers side fender

What do I need to do to get them on a switch inside the cab?

 

Run a wire from a switch you install inside to both loose wires. Connect the switch to +12 supply with a fuse!

Be aware, most states have restrictions about red lights on the front, unless you are an emergency vehicle...

yeah, Chances are the positive wires went to a flasher (called a Wig-Wag) that made them alternate back and forth.

Not sure what you re planning to use these for, but Even if they are not connected, if a police officer sees the red lights on the front of the truck, there is a good possibility you are going to be hassled and questioned.

Turn them on (especially if they flash) and cross paths with a "not so nice" officer, and you could find your self on the wrong side of some iron bars.
