Controlling lights on camper

[Rick Cicchetti]

Hi all,
I want to add some LED flood lights to the back bumper of my camper to make backing down my 1/8 mile driveway at night easier!

Is there a way I can wire the lights to a 4 pin trailer connector to plug into the truck (18 RAM 2500), then use one of my aux switches to turn the 4 pin / lights on and off? (Thus, allowing me not to have to leave the truck to turn on the lights!)

Thanks!

You could use the center wire on the trailer plug for reverse lights.

Then they would come on automatically when you put the truck in reverse

So, you're saying splice into the 7-way to the reverse light wire? Hmmm..

Your truck is already wired to the plug.

Your trailer may already be wired to the rear with it...but at the most you would have to run a wire from your trailer connection to the rear.

That is what I am going to do in the coming weeks
