White night rear lighting system

Ok I got them wired in before camping They look awesome I think! I would like to say THANK YOU to all who helped me get this done I could not have done it without your help. I did wire mine a little different I put my relay that I bought form Geno's Garage under the hood than ran the 87 wire all the way back of course its wired to a switch so here are some pics!

Here, I threw this together, since mike's penmanship looks like a chicken did it ;) http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4166&d=1339763562

Great diagram- I was thinking of going a route similar to this, I knew a relay was the only way to go, but I wasn't sure how much current it took to trigger the relay coil. 500ma isn't much so not too worried about what sort of surplus capacity the circuit had without risking damage to whatever controls it..Thanks! Nice Avatar too:thumbup2:

Thanks. Yeah, to trip the relay, it takes very little current. And of course, the relay's amperage capability depends on which you use (30A, 40A, etc.)As a reference, an LED for a car alarm, takes about 200mA or less (2VDC).Additionally, in the above schematic, you can substitute a SPDT relay for a SPST (Single Pole Single Throw). The only difference between the two is that the SPST does not have the 87a pin.
