Reverse Light

Go to ebay and type in " work light" and you'll see a few options.

I bought a couple for my rig @ about $20- each.

You can also get them from Autobarn, Repco Autopro etc

Wire-up using a relay with decent size wire from battery.

On the relay "switch" tab, you need to run that wire to a 3 way switch (or maybe just an ON/ON type with no centre off). That wire goes to the centre post of the switch, whilst the other 2 posts of the switch go to: the reverse light cable of the Patrol and : positive power in. I would actually run a dual core cable from the relay to the switch...... one wire of the cable (which doesn't have to be heavy gauge; speaker cable would do), to take the power-in to the side of the switch to allow you you turn the light on independantly of the reverse circuit.

Sounds complicated the way I've described it, but it's chit-easy in practice.

I got 2 little round ones from supercrap and they work a treat tapped into the original lights wiring and I can see properly when I reverse at night and when I have to do something behind the car at night just wack her in reverse and on comes the light

cost around $30

I have just wired up the tail lights, reverse light and indicators in the GU and it looks much better in the dark now.

And you can see in reverse, which is kind of a novel concept.

Maybe that's a better alternative.

All it cost me was some Narva lamp holders, globes, a metre and a bit of 5 core trailer flex I had lying around and an hour or so in the shed with a beer and the footy on.
