rear utility light install
Picked up some round utility / tractor lights at local Big R.
I am going to weld the mounts to the towhitch and install this weekend.
Anyone have suggestions what fuse to tap in and switch location?
I ws thinking the lighter circuit and placing the switch below the ash tray that panel pops off easily.
Any suggestions appreciated
2 months and 7000 miles all is great

It is illegal in some areas to have rear facing lights controlled by a switch. Some municapalities require that they be wired to your back up cct.
Why not wire them directly to your backup lights??

use a switch and relay right from the battery. you can use a 3 pole single throw switch and tie it into ur backup lights and be able to use the switch if u prefer.
I do recomend using a bright light tied into the switch so when they are on there is no way to not know and ur not driveing around blinding the traffic behind you
