Installing leds

[USMC_Ram909]

I am going to be tackling two projects soon, installing leds for the floor board and installing flush mount pods.

For the flush mounts I wanted to get some suggestions on wiring. I saw another member tied them into the reverse lights and also the cargo light. I want to do the same but is there anyway specific I need to wire this? I am def not experienced in wiring so any tips will be appreciated.

I did it into both. I used two relays and a diode to isolate the two circuits. The good part is it's absolutely bulletproof. The bad part is there was substantially more wiring to do to do it this way.

If you just wire the lights to a reverse signal you'll be fine. The lights won't be on long enough to need to worry about a relay system.

If you were to wire them directly to a switch then you would want to set up a relay harness for it.

Or you could even wire up a three position switch like the rigid flush mount lights come with.
Switch position 1 - only reverse
Switch position 2 - always off
Switch position 3 - always on

I want to the lights to come on during reverse and also on the cargo switch to work as a**hole lights

This was my thinking as wee as acting as approach lights when I unlock the truck. It works great.
