Congrats...on BOTH!!! LOL

Seriously though - do you have any daytime pics, and maybe some detail/closeups of your mounting? As for the wiring: are these on their own circuit/switch, or simply connected in to the reverse light wiring?

Great job man!!

I'll have to get some daytime pics, but mount was pretty easy. Attached them directly onto my ranch hand and tied them into my 7 way plug. Honestly a $15 mod and about 30 min. of installation.

I need something like that. Do they come on only in Reverse or do you have an manuel control?

They come on by themselves every time you put it into reverse. I hooked the 12 v. to the reverse wire in the seven way trailer plug. Hope that helps.

I have mine setup for both manual and reverse control. If I was doing it again. I would have just tied into the 7way plug, center pin, and set the manual control to run the relay that is already under the hood. A diode and a switch, little bit of wire using the customer access wire already under th hood and you'd have both for a few more bucks.

Just a thought here, I did the 7 pin connection, also connected a manual switch, did not use the diode, it was isolated by the trailer revears light relay anyways.
