Reverse light wire

[momo.75]

I am trying to tap into my reverse light wire so that some extra lights come on when i put it in reverse. I looked at the plug on my tail light and think it is the red wire with yellow stripe. Can anybody confirm that? Or if anybody has tapped into the trailer harness for this, could you chime in as well. Thanks!

Not sure which one it is, but make sure the lights you're adding are on a relay or LED's as to not overload the circuit.

Bingo. Red with yellow stripe. Tapped it for my backup camera last weekend

These are LEDs so they hardly draw any power.

Thanks. Where did you tie into the wire for your camera?

 

[aaronfro17]

There are access panels on each side of the cargo area that give you acces to the tail light wiring. I spliced into the wire right there.

Yep, there is where i was looking. I also found out which wire is the reverse wire on the trailer harness. Thanks.

So, did we confirm its the red wire w white stripe to tap in the backup lights?

Let's see some pics of where you all are mounting your lights, too. I'm trying to find a solid base, that's fairly indiscreet.

aaronfro17 stated it was the (Red Wire w/ Yellow Stripe)... this is still correct no?

 

[bassmacka]

If I remember correctly its a red and yellow wire that you can tap in to it on the drivers side near the floorboards by the door.

Trailer harness tapped for reverse. I used the correct colors.
