Ok here is the deal. I'm going to add some extra back up lights mounted down toward my hitch. I want them to work two ways. 1) when I put it in reverse they activate 2) I want to be able to cut them on separate if needed by a switch up front.

Can someone make me a diagram as to how I need to wire this up? I'm going to use a on-off-on switch so I can have the required functions plus the ability to cut the system off completely. TIA>

That's exactly how I have my lights set up.
I'm on my phone so I can't search for the link. But it's in this section.
"Setting up aux fogs with a spdt on-off-on"
The title is something like that.
Search my posts. Or go back a page or two in this section.

Got my lights ordered, SPDT on-off-on switch ordered, and already got some relays. I'll post some pic when everything gets installed sometime next week. Thanks for the help btw.
