The wiring under the driver rear panel was really wrapped up. I didn’t want to cut a wir stripping it. I wound up pulling the rear driver light tapping into the pink line off the light fixture that connects to the white brown stripe one further down. That area gets dust and mud in it so I wanted to go higher up. I planned to coat the splice crimp in clear silicone but went with electrical tape. If it’s not robust the pink wire has enough slack to splice and solder. I normally solder everything. I hate splice clamps, but here it makes sense to try.
I used a rigid 3 way switch and relay vs a diode. The diode option is probably cheaper. For 12 v I tapped into the cigarette lighter power, 3 way splice and solder. there is a ground just below.
I figured if I wasn’t in reverse and needed light I am probably at the back of the jeep.
I will post picks once I mount the lod bumper this weekend.
The rear panel near the back is being a pain to put on, I will takle that with day light!
