Wiring for additional lights

[AusJeepNoob]

I want to add a work light at the rear but also be able to have it come on as an additonal reverse light. Has anyone done this? Extra points if you've controlled it via the Aux switches.

Very easy to do exactly as you wish to do.... also easy for someone that has little or no wiring experience on a vehicle.

You will have to have 2 diodes in the mix or you will have or chance intermittent CanBus issues.

Be sure you use quality diodes that can handle the abuse/weather.

Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to be mounting mine on a telescoping pole behind the spare to protect it from off road misadventures and also to provide a broader spread of light when being used as a worklight. I've ordered this light

If one light isn't enough I'll modify the bracket to mount 2 and turn them out.
