LED pods in rear bumper (pic heavy)

[Rzrman328]

Let me rephrase, when I unlock my truck with my remote, my interior, cargo and custom bed lights come on.

Ahhh gotcha.

Yes, mine do the same.

Headlights, interior, cargo, reverse and pods come on with unlock button.

Yes and No...they should come on together.

At least the way mine work....both lights will come on without diodes installed.

You don't by chance have a diagram you could show me? Your way is the way I'm looking to do mine.

That is exactly what I had in my head. I have ideas but for some reason I can't write them out lol. But thank you for the link. You wrote what was in my head lol.

I did this modification as well.

I used this kit: Turbo 2pcs 18w Flood Led Work Lights 3x3 Dually Flush Mount Cree Led Light Lamps Dually D2 Off Road 4x4 4wd Jeep Truck F150 Tacoma Bumper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y2CJ95O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8RgDxbVJY5Z6Z

I followed the same details as the first post and it turned out good, I just need to install the foam backing.

I wired my reverse lights down to these and installed strobe flashers in my reverse light housing(separate mod). No problems at all wiring directly to the reverse lights, and I have another wire running to a switch in the cab in case I want to turn them on when I'm not in reverse.

7) Since the bumper face isn't 100% flat I used foam/rubber as a gasketing material to seal up light bezel to bumper face
8&9) Foam rubber cut and slid onto light

where did you get the "foam rubber" from? is it called anything specific?

I ran my Cargo light and my reverse lights to the feed of the LED pods in the rear bumper. I installed a one way diode on the cargo and the reverse light feed. That way, no back/cross lightning will happen.

I'm trying to wire up some LED reverse light Pods but like someone else said, I want to be able to turn them on as work lights too. If I wire them into the reverse pin of my trailer harness, will I still be able to use them at will without the truck being in reverse or will they only get power in reverse. If I utilize the 3 position switch that is.

I just did what you are describing and I just used a toggle switch. Wired the LED positive to the trailer reverse and the LED negative to the ground. Put a resistor in place of the factory reverse harness. Ran another wire from the LED positive to a toggle on/off switch running from the battery. I can use them whether the truck is on or off, or they come on when I'm in reverse.

So you do have a 3 position switch?

I'm thinking about running my reverse power from the reverse pin and then my regular 12v power from the top right pin.(wiring diagram shows that as aux 12v) so judging by that I shouldn't have to run any wires to my battery. Anyone have any suggestions/concern?
