    have two mini light bars on the back of my trailer wired to a switch on the dash, one of the best things I’ve ever done

    Reverse lights would probably require another wire and pin on the pigtail/cable unless there is an unused one already. I have no idea. My guess would be no.

    You don't pull a nice Reitnour stepdeck do you? Saw a guy who had a couple 18 inch light bars tucked in the back end of one of them a few years ago in York, Nebraska.

    Already had switches in the cab but still not hard, used a junk extension cord on the trailer with the ends cut off, reverse lights, chicken lights and have a suspension dump that I just haven’t wired in yet all on their separate yellow abs cord/plug
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

    You ever tempted to flash them at a genius following you with their brights on?

    If there’s no one else around, occasionally I may have accidentally bumped the switch, and leave them on until they shut theirs off or I get far enough ahead

    I like the ones that Waste Management is putting on theirs now, not.
