DKS Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Has anyone tried to wire up back up lights for a trailer? I have a 7 pin round on my trailer and I really want to use back up lights on it. The wires to the BU lights in the lights just don't look stout enough to tie anything onto. I have a couple of ideas to try, but if someone has already invented the wheel, I will use theirs happily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weasel Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I haven't done this yet, but I do have a 7 pin round ( and a 4 flat ) in one connector. I do plan on wiring up the rest of the 7 pin. My first thought for the back-up lights would be to use that wire as a trigger for a relay. Then you could run a much larger wire to the battery. That should be more than enough I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like some good lighting back there to see where the trailer is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
