Locating reverse light wires
I posted this question in the electrical forum also.
07 Explorer
I need to locate the reverse light wiring. I want to install additional reverse lights and need to tap a relay in to the wire that leads to the reverse lights.
What color is the wire that I need to look for.

I tried checking on the12volt.com but they didn't have your truck listed. Can you pull one of the tail lights out and get the wire color off of that? Maybe call the parts dept of a dealership? Or as previously mentioned, a Haynes/Chilton's will have a wiring diagram. Those are worth having around anyways...

Just did the light hook up yesterday, and it works great. PLENTY of reverse light now.
Reverse positive wire is brown with blue.
Negative wire is black with green.
Using a relay in the set up is the only way to go. Simple/clean and will be easier to locate proplems if any arise.
