Reverse light tap in cabin

Postby shaunv8 on Mon Dec 30, 2019 9:21 am

Hi All, Can someone advise if there is somewhere in an 07 ML Auto which I could tap into to pickup reverse lights? Thanks

If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay us to do it?

Hey Tex.

I hooked into the reverse light at the light to trigger a relay to run the aux reverse lights. I can then switch it from the cabin. just another way of doing it without adding extra load to the oem wiring.
