How to Install Auxiliary Reverse Lights

Want Bright Back Up Lights? Rig up your auxiliary lights to come on when you go in reverse. I show you the step by step process of how I wired my truck with a relay so when I put the truck in reverse, the LED reverse lights come on with the stock reverse lights.

The best thing about this video...not a bunch of useless chatter talk...straight to the point.Great job, extremely helpful and informative! Thanks!

Good lord, the difference in his voice from then and now is so different. He seems so much happier/excited now. But still always had great information.

You are a very good teacher. You speak clearly, no ugly words, no profanity. Just top notch.

I've never seen anyone going as meticulously about doing a DIY-video like this _anywhere!_ - This is _benchmark_ stuff Chris!!! I salute your efforts doing this!!!🙂👍

probably the best instruction on how to wire a relay that I have seen!

[Fsilone]

The easy way to tell which poles on a relay are the controller and which one is the load when the instructions are conflicting is to take a multimeter, turn it to ohms, and test opposing sides. The pair that shows no continuity (infinite resistance) is the load connections (what you connect to the auxiliary lights and battery), and the pair that show a definite number of ohms is the controller connections (what you connect to the stock reverse light and ground).

You have the absolute best channel for automotive help. Thanks for taking all the time to help us mere mortals.

I would install this just to mess with people driving with their high beams on

[muzzaball]

Just another terrific example of an automotive 'How To' video from Chris Fix. You are the man, thanks Chris. You are always clear, concise, organised and to the point - thank you!

I'm a 60-year-old woman and your video is so great even I could understand what you're saying I think I can fix my original reverse light on the passenger side simply by watching what you did hooking up these lights I know what the check now thank you so much man. Not only did you make this project look easy you made DIY look easy

As always your videos are amazing! I just can’t help but notice how much you’ve grown in both skills and knowledge. Just earlier today I watched a Sep 2016 video where you designed and welded an LED light bar assembly to your truck. Keep up the incredible work and above all, please keep the videos coming.

[melvincalvert]

Excellent teaching video! Your work rivals the work of "Professional" mechanics who have a crew helping with the video production. Your clarity in making explanations and your use of drawings to help show points that are otherwise not clear are really outstanding. I will try to find this video again after I fix my back-up light problem and buy the LED back-up lights.

You have some awesome videos. I'm an airplane guy, but when I have some spare change, I love tinkering with my '11 Ford Ranger. I love this idea!

[mikejames]

I've seen a lot of video's on the subject and this one is by far the best. Not a lot of blah, blah, blah filler speech, just explicit this is what I'm going to do, why I'm doing it, and clear directions. Great job.

[markcasey]

This video was a big help. I’ve been thinking about doing the same to my truck and after watching I went out and stared doing it. Thank you.

[spencerdepriest]

This guy is awesome, very thorough and makes it simple for all the DIY guys!

[elsalindfield]

Great video! Feeling a lot more confident now about installing the same thing on my Jeep. The only I want to do is add a switch inside so that I can turn on the lights if I need to.

[AllAmericanDreamChaser]

Thanks for explaining how the relay operates.

[davidwayne]

I really like ALL your vids-- you make things so CLEAR and SIMPLE--- and don't make me dizzy bouncing the camera around all over the place.. THANKS for the usual extremely good job.

[takeitallin]

one of the best how-to videos I've come across...  explained each step completely... did not waste time with unneeded footage or personal comments.  great job, truly
